Front office locked at all times. Why is it no one smiles anymore? There is a small beverage and snack station available in front reception/office. Good location for accessing community. Set on main Blvd. Can be a bit noisy from racing cars, loud trucks and police sirens. Small parking lot for tri-level building. Some street parking available. I liked the the newer flooring, but it needs to be mopped. Great amenities - mini frig and coffee maker. Comfortable compact bathroom with tub/shower. Comfortable King-bed room had dining table and chairs. Adjustable bed lights had plug for charger. TV worked. Heating/AC unit worked. Blackout curtains were good. read more

tourists and locals- stay away This location REALLY does not want your business. Rude staff will never answer thrphone/hang up on you during business hours. I called to report this and they used the excuse of robocalls- You are a hospitality business that should pick up for questions or if someone needed to reach a guest. the check in office is always locked even in the mid-morning. It felt like the mostly South East Asian staff is expecting to be attacked or robbed. No free coffee ot breakfast as advertised. I put my brother there for 3 days the week before since his place was being worked on Today, my place is having work done so I went in person to go try and book a room for for today (because they don't pick up the phone and I didn't want to book online if they didn't have an early room). parking lot is empty. Its 11am, I asked if they had any rooms available for check in...tons of rooms online but the staff turned me away with a I don't really care to help you smile saying 3pm only. give yout $ somwhere else. read more

We have stayed there twice but never again. Moldy shower curtain. Dirty floors. Bugs on the floor and in the bed. Never again!!!!!!

Please avoid. We checked into a dirt room... there was a pair of underwear left inside the sheets, the sheet had stains, my boyfriend had to kill a roach, blood stain on the floor and neighbors where extremely noisy... management was pretty unhelpful as well read more

Vagabond Inn is a great inexpensive hotel. It's located right on Whittier Blvd. so you have access to a lot of stores, restaurants, etc. The bed was comfortable and the shower worked great (rain showerhead). The furniture is a little beat up, but, you have a give and take for affordability. The staff is also very nice and helpful. I have stayed here a couple of times when my house was getting work done. I would definitely stay again. read more

DO NOT TRUSR THE PHOTOS. THIS PLACE IS SHIT!!!!! Cleaning staff are good. But the place itself is SHIT and some other words... parking is terrible. Guest are terrible. Wanna go there and smoke out and do some drugs... great place. But if you want a peaceful place to sleep.... NOT THE PLACE TO BE. I would give this place a negative 100000000000000000. And more zeros. DO NOT STAY THERE read more

I will be staying here anytime I am in CAlifornia. Loved my stay, very clean and convenient

My stay here is always great. They recently got new mattresses as of 3 days ago and they are so comfortable. Very accommodating if you need anything extra as far as towels etc. read more

Absolutely the worst motel I have at and I've stayed at alot. I travel around for work. This time was unbelievable one night was all we could stand staff was extremely rude especially this Indian lady. And no I have nothing against them. Half my family is Indian. The things that were going on like people going in and out of there rooms as cars would come and go. And worst of all when I got home from work my wife looked like she's slept in a tub of bed bugs. She was bit from head to toe. I would avoid this place like the plague read more

Vagabond Inn Whittier - 1 nite at Vagabond motel in Whittier - Hotels Near Me - Whittier, California

If I could give this hotel no stars I would. So I booked this hotel out of convenience. As long as no bed bugs on the bed I figured good enough. Check in says no layer than 2am. So we stopped by and literally checked in without looking at the room or dropping off our stuff. Just headed out to a party in the area we had planned to go and already late for. Hell no, we arrive about 330am to our room and the TV on, sheets are all undone too. All front desk could say was oh we are sorry we have no clean rooms. Like really, this is the type of service you offer. Don't even check if rooms are clean before you give out room keys. Like wow. read more

Not a fancy hotel but very clean & convenient. Friendly accommodating staff, clean inside & outdoors, clean pool area.. free parking which makes a HUGE difference to me & they are also pet friendly with a low pet fee! I will definitely be stopping by again when traveling through the area read more

Never ever come here my internet wasn't working my dad passed I went to the office because I had things to do the lady called someone to ask what she could do the answer was nothing I am a i.t. tech and told them to restart the modem, but they didn't care and basically didn't give a (^%$#!). Never come here! read more

The room was very clean, and the staff was nice, the only problems I had were that they had no internet, no ice machine and the pillows were too soft and I wish that they had adjustable beds, but other than that it was ok. read more

Everyone at the front desk was wonderfully kind and professional. The room was super clean and the bed was comfortable. We stayed 3 nights and the room was cleaned regularly and fresh towels supplied. It's not a fancy place, but it was very nice for the price! We will stay here again! read more

What a great experience, We stayed here at the beginning of may, My mom just had surgery and my house was having some construction. The Disabled room was perfect for her. And the vagabond is right in the middle of plenty of great restaurants and burger stands etc. The room was very clean and the staff was extremely helpful and nice. We stayed a total of 4 days and the price was fair. Thank you PK, I believe That was the manager's Initial, if I'm wrong I apologize. But either way, for sure I would stay here again. without hesitation. Once again Thank you for allowing me to be your guest at your Inn. read more

My stay was ok I go there every now and then and rooms are cleaned but when it was time to check out they didn't want to give me back my $100 supposedly the cleaning lady said I stained the sheet but I didn't even sleep on the sheet plus they only cleaned my room 2x for being there for 3 weeks but hey I guess they are going broke or something that they needed my $100 more then I did or the sheet was probably made of gold that they charged me my whole $100 who knows read more

I got a good deal online for 60$ a night for a week But when I asked to add another week it was 82$ a night Lame You can't use the pool and my microwave was black inside burned And there were forgotten dirty towels in my room when checked in, I was cool because everything else seemed okay read more

Absolutely HORRIBLE and DIRTY! Stayed 4 days for a graduation and had issues every day with the bathroom sink overflowing, A/C leaked inside room ruining shoes, the bathroom floor was FILTHY couldn't walk in bare feet , old dry food for the continental breakfast, fruit was very old also and every day had to call for the TV to be fixed because it's not working correctly and WIFI that totally is worthless. Seems to be a haven for drug users that just hang out and he MANAGMENT obviously sees them but doesn't do anything even after complaining to them. Thank God we were armed as the bottom lock on our door worked intermittently. The lady at the desk was told NOT to use our CC for checking out and she did ( we were paying cash) and she refused to reverse it ! This place IMO is a dump and everything I have stated above actually happened ‼ This is an absolute dump and is a reflection of what Whittier California has become. Glad the city is wanting to rid it of motels and hotels. Stay FAR away from this place. Also upon checking out we noticed needles and small bags of white residue near the bushes by our room so that tells you that this is a place to stay far away from. Go up the street to FRIENDLY HILLS INN where it's clean and there is surveillance and management cares and it's CLEAN and they don't allow gangbangers and drug addicts to LOITER. GOODBYE FILTHY DRUG HOTEL ! I'm calling corporate on Monday also to report them. read more

horrible place. the lobby staff very rude and very unpleasant, I was hosted and received racist comments towards me unpleasant housekeeping if i could put 5 stars less i would give them not recomendable in all read more

Rooms are big and classy. They put a couch in, and a chair with a desk so if you're feeling kinky and don't want to ruin the sheets. Me and my lady chose the couch first then finished on the bed. Soft quality fabric. Everything was great, my lady talked to the office she said they were nice. The only thing that sucked was that we got there at 11:30pm and all the parking inside was taken. You may have to park on the street on busy nights. read more

I tried to not leave a Yelp review but this last hotel stay did it for me. I've stayed here 3 separate times and tonight was supposed to be my 4th and last time. The people at the front desk harass their guests before it's even time to check out and they have this one family working different shifts and one night I had asked the front desk if I needed help regarding an unwanted guest and he tells me 'that's YOUR problem!' REALLY? Thanks. Way to protect the safety of your guests. Check-in is at 3:00pm. It was a little before 3:00pm and so I had to wait for housekeeping to clean the room that I was supposed to be in. After I finally get in to the room it's 4:30pm and it smells like a dog.. there's crusty dirt paws all over the chair in the room and on the bed skirt. The air conditioning smelled like a wet dog. The floor felt disgusting so.. what didnt wait almost an hour after check-in time for? Then in the morning around 10:40ish I am woken up when the front desk calls and says I have to check out when for one.. normal checkout is at 11:00am.. it was 10:40 something I've been checking out at 12:00pm with out any issues the previous 2 stays last week. The girl tells me that she doesn't know WHO I spoke to because that's not policy and that i need to check out. I told her that I have a reservation for 2 more nights and that I check out on Thursday. She tells me that she'll call back in an hour. So I try and go back to sleep and not even 10 mins later housekeeping cause knocking on the door.. come on... I told her that I was still in the room and i was too upset and couldn't go back to sleep and I was and still am so tired after working all night. I started packing up my things and had plenty of time until I was leaving. Then the girl comes banging on my door before 12:00pm and told me that it was time to check out and i asked her why she keeps on harassing me. It wasn't even time yet and I am finishing putting my things away and that I'm getting my stuff and leaving and she tells me tinge out by 12:30pm. I asked her why she was being like that. It's not like I was going to stay and not pay.. they already had my card info and she tells me that people have done that before... Well I'm not other people. So I leave and come back around 6:30-7:00pm to check in for my next two nights and the first thing front desk says 'i can't find your reservation.' I show her my confirmation email on my phone. She checks again and says 'it says that you cancelled' uhm no. I did not cancel. She checks again and says 'I can't rent you a room. Idk what happened but they put a DNR under your account.' I ask her what that was and she told me so I asked her what's the reason. She tells me that the girl from the morning said that there were problems with me checking out. WTH!!? Then she proceeds to tell me that I checked out after 1:00pm. WWHHHAAAAAT!!?? I told her that it wasn't true and she says that she can't give me a room. I told her to check the cameras. That's a lie and I asked her if she was the manager and she said no so I asked for the manager and she said that she won't be in until tomorrow and that I cannot get a room. They know my situation.. and they don't care. This place is a dirty joke!! First off... You have some weird looking mold or fungi growing in the restroom... second... everything was dirty... also.. the 3rd and last time I stayed there where it smelled like dog.. I was itchy and had little bug bite marks all over myMmlegs Corporate should have a training class for them on hospitality because they need it. DO NOT STAY HERE. NOT WORTH IT. read more

Vagabond Inn Whittier - Now tell me.. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS??! I grabbed it off of my hotel rooms bathroom wall. - Hotels Near Me - Whittier, California

We just checked in at this horror hotel! Everything from outside looks great ( pics, website, expedia, outdoor). BUT ITS A TRAP! From the clerk front desk to their dirty bedding! I took some pics and posted just to let everyone know that nothing look like it s describe on the web! ITS DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY! You dont even want to take off your shoes! PLEASE DO NOT GET A ROOM HERE! Listen to my advice cause if i had listened to the previous reviews i wouldnt be so upset right now and wasted my money! And dont even think you can argue or talk to the people at the front desk, they basically tell you that its not their concern and to go some other place! Of course after taking your money! Im Going to complain to expedia and send them all the pics! What a waste of money and time! One word : DISGUSTING! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. When searching for 2 star hotels, I figured that the room would just be mediocre but I was wrong. The room was big and clean that had a flat screen television and plenty of channels to watch. There was a microwave, coffee maker and mini fridge in the room which was super helpful for all the food that Me boyfriend and I couldn't finish. Oh yeah there was WiFi! The employees were very nice and helpful at anytime of the day. The front desk was open during normal business hours but I appreciated that there was someone available at their night window from 11 pm - 7 am especially when our card key wasn't working late at night.. Whittier may not be in Los Angeles but was about 20 minutes to Knott's Berry farm and Disneyland/California adventure/Downtown Disney. I will consider this place for my next visit to SoCal. read more

So my bf and I needed alone time and went to other (expensive) places that werent as nice as this place. Finally after all hotels being booked we tried here and dreaded heading in seeing as the price was low. Like WOW! The bed was spacious and the comforters were nice...this place definitely did not have the horror creepy vibe. It did have the nice quaint home away from home. Had the flat screen that comes equipped with cable, if your addicted to coffee like me then you will enjoy their coffee maker, high stress levels? Dont worry they have decaff :) they also have a microwave incase your tv dinner type people. The showers are well kept and the bath spacious, they even give you shampoo, a bar of soap and lotion. Electrical socket s everywhere! Good if you have more things to charge. The staff has always been nice and curtious to us and I work in an industry where pleasing people is the goal, so I can spot good service...I also know customer service is a two way streak. I give this place all the stars possible. ..we come here everytime we need alone together tine and its the best experience we have. read more

Vagabond Inn Whittier - Yes! A flat screen :D - Hotels Near Me - Whittier, California

Would put zero stars if I could. This place is disgusting, the rooms are full of bed bugs, and roaches. Save your money & the pain from suffering from those disgusting bed bug bites. When I asked them for a refund after getting bite up they just dismissed it. Never staying here again. read more

I paid for one for my stepson, they advised there would've a $100 deposit "hold" on my credit card. Which is the industry standard. When he checked out they charged me fir the room and deposit. When I called today the "front desk" lady advised it was never charged but said the credit was issued on 4/21, but I was still charged on 4/22. She blamed my bank, when I asked for her name she refused to give me her name. I politely asked several more times, she became rude and hung up on me. I have never experienced such rudeness from a hotel in my life. I called and complained to their corporate headquarters . This happened 4/23 about 7:30pm read more

This place is clean, has a fridge, microwave, fluffy towels and a continental breakfast! Nice, comfy beds and a big TV. Iron and ironing board, blow dryer and in room coffee. The staff are friendly, helpful and care about the quality of your stay. Oh, you cannot beat the price and location. Lots of food choices and shopping nearby. read more

The people at the front desk are politely rude .I came on a sunday to pay for 1 week starting on monday..during my sign in a homeless man entered the office screaming and yelling and threatening to kill the front desk worker. After the commotion i continued to pay for the next day The guy at the desk already confirmed i was to arrive on monday. After 1 week I returned to the office to again pay for 1 week...They told me I was out on sunday and that was 1 week I explained what happened and that because of the commotion they confused my check in date...well i spoke to all management available..and end result I paid for a day i cant use..I am very upset..be careful when you check in read more

Room was very clean and staff was very polite and helpful. Was a little upset when they didn't give us extra towels however they exchanged the dirty ones. Will definitely stay here again. read more

The price is not bad if you're looking for a quick place to rest up in between you're traveling. There are scuffs on the furniture, probably due to a lot of wear and tear from visitors. The carpet is clean but in my opinion it could use a deeper cleaning. Water pressure and temperature is very good, with the exception of the reserve tank for the toilet it took a long time to fill up in between flushes. The room is clean and no smells so that's a plus. So bottom line it's a nice place to stay if you need a place to rest. read more

Vagabond Inn Whittier - Hotels Near Me - Whittier, California

Ice machine was broken during entire 3 days. Every time I asked front desk, it was "someone's coming to fix it tomorrow." Fairly obvious they had no intention of fixing it just waiting for guests to check out. Asked and was allowed late check out, but still housekeeping was insisting on cleaning my room at 1030 am. The value is fairly less than the price paid. Also the case of guests above me screaming at 3 in morning, but that's not the motels fault - just indicative of clientele read more

First room was dirty, second room was dirty, third room wouldn't lock. I had to call 2 times for anyone to come look at the lock. It's been almost an hour and the person has not returned with the keys for my fourth room. I will never stay here again. read more

Horrible, just horrible customer service! I call to see if they have reservations available, the lady on the phone just said to call back later. So I'm like "OK? What's the best time to call?" and she said "15-20 mins". I called within 20 mins later... "Hello, I'm calling to see if I can set reservations?", the same lady answers and says "I'm really busy, can you call back within 30 mins?". Come on Vegabond? What's the deal? So the potential customer calling on the phone, and trying to set reservations, is not that important? read more

Stayed two nights at this hotel. The service was alright. The staff was decent, not friendly but not rude either. They helped me quickly an effectively, made check in speedy. The rooms were not bad for a 2-star hotel. A few parts were renovated and new-looking. The beds were comfortable and there was a flat screen tv with cable, along with a microwave and mini-fridge. The walls and door however, were very DIRTY. Looks like they haven't been cleaned in a long while. The bed headboard had weird handprints all over it. It advertises as a "pet-friendly" hotel. Pets are allowed, you ask for that room in particular. As far as actual pet-friendly, not really. No dog run or designated areas, they are just allowed on premise. The hotel was REALLY noisy! Like, loud and noisy the whole time I was there. The walls are super thin and you can hear people outside, next to you, and above you. It was pretty hard to get a goodnight' sleep with all the noise. The price was alright, you get what you pay for. It is an okay place, better than most, but not GREAT. I don't think I will stay here again, too noisy and dirty. read more

Decent size room. Not the cleanest of places. As soon we were about to check It reeked of weed. I will say this the A/C is super ice cold. ( I love it) it's just VERY LOUD! Staff don't seem very friendly tbh but that's fine. Pool area was a bit dirty, but I guess that's to be expected as there were gardeners? We were on the third floor lol lot of stairs. No elevator. They got a nice big bed. Internet was absolutely horrible!!! So slow that the internet on my phone was faster, I did tell the guy at the front desk and he says yea yea thay just fixed it. It is now 10:08 p.m. it still don't work. They got a microwave, a good little mini fridge. read more

I wish I would have read the Yelp reviews before staying here! The rooms have not been maintained well. The carpet in our room was very stained and worn out, and the upholstered chair needed a good cleaning too! I'd say the only positive thing was the bed was comfortable, but I couldn't sleep well anyway because the air-conditioning unit made so much noise!!! Really overpriced for what you are getting. We cancelled our second night and stayed somewhere else. read more

I enjoyed staying here! Nice smelling room everything looked nice and very quiet! Loved Stacy customers service! Very sweet woman and I will be back in the future! read more

My wife and I decided to spend the night close to where we were meeting family for dinner, even though we live in Long Beach. We chose the Vagabond Inn because we've had excellent experiences from other Vagabond Inn locations, like the one in San Diego. Anyway on with the review. We reserved a single non-smoking room with a king bed a week prior to the Saturday we needed it. The gentleman who took my call, who who later was the gentleman who would check us in was quite nice, very professional and accommodating. We arrive to the Inn and walked up to our room, only to smell the horrid smell of a smoker. We were told upon check-in like when we reserved the room that the room was a non-smoking room. I called the front office and the guy at the desk assured me that it was a non-smoking room, but that he would be up shortly with an air freshener. He came up and sprayed the room with febreeze. The ice maker was also "being repaired" so the guy had to get some ice from the office. Although the staff were friendly and professional, there's no way that we stayed in a non-smoking room. It was hard to breath although we tried making the best of it by turning on the AC. Anyway, based on previous stays at other Vagabond Inn's we were very disappointed with the Whittier location. read more

For a Two-Star hotel, we got all the bang for our buck. Coffee maker, microwave, flatscreen tv, AND mini fridge make this an ideal place for a weekend getaway. Front desk was very helpful and gave us a quick checkout. Would stay again. Oh, and parking was FREE! read more
