“Didn't get out of the car”

Vagabond Inn Fresno

Aug 12, 2007
1/2 found this review helpful

We booked this hotel because it is pet-friendly, and we travel with our dog. While my wife was at her job site downtown, I went to check-out the hotel. It's not in a nice part of town, and is within a mile of a very large homeless encampment established on a closed freeway. As soon as I drove up, I was approached by a man who wanted me to "buy him a hamburger". There was a younger couple who appeared to be on hard times, loudly arguing about something, in the parking lot the hotel shares with Denny's. Then, an unfortunate and unkempt young fellow came gliding up the driveway in his beat-up car, yelling "yep, it died!". I thought he was talking to someone in the car, but when I looked past all the boxes and clothes I noticed that he was alone. This was all within 2-3 minutes of arrival; I had not even stepped out of the car yet. After all that, I was not going to leave ourselves nor our vehicle at that location, in the dark. I didn't check-in. Instead, I called and cancelled. In all fairness, later in the afternoon I drove my wife down there for entertainment value, at least - and the circus was nowhere to be seen. So perhaps my earlier visit was unfortunate timing, but I stand by my decision. An alternate pet-friendly hotel is the La Quinta downtown, where we ended-up.

“Nice, but only if you're not alone”

Vagabond Inn Fresno

1/2 found this review helpful

When I booked this room, I was limited to what information I had been given off various sites and the pictures. The pictures are vaguely different in size but are otherwise right on. Because of the amount of time I was staying here, I needed certain things, i.e., refrigerator and lots of room for clothes and things.

"Bad"
1. Well, the room ended up being a bit small.
2. It was not in a good part of town for a single woman traveling alone.
3. The continental breakfast was on the side of next-to-nothing as most continental breakfasts are and,
4. Many of the rooms were filled with men who were paving the local highway.

This made me very nervous.

"Good"
1. The bed was very comfortable.
2. The refrigerator and microwave both worked.
3. The room seemed to be sound proof as I could never hear anyone passing by or heard anyone talking, laughing, crying, yelling, etc.
4. Very nice security system.
5. The people were very accommodating every time I needed something.

While this room had little problems that could be repaired easily, cleaned easily and remedied easily, it was a nice place to stay. It had great air conditioning. The room was cleaned nicely each day and the TV got great reception. I am a discriminating traveler but I know what I want and need to be comfortable and this worked out very well for me. I would recommend it for someone without kids looking for a great bargain.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — The comfort of the beds and the cleanliness of the linens
    • Disliked — The location - not really the best area because it's a trucker hangout but it's good if you just need a nice place to sleep

“Don't get out of the car”

Vagabond Inn Fresno

Oct 4, 2005
13/13 found this review helpful

Booked on the internet for 4 nights out of a 3 week holiday touring California. Worst mistake I ever made. Tatty small check in area where I believe you go for your complimentary breakfast. Got the keys to the room but not happy at this stage as the area left a lot to be desired. Once we drove around to the room (more of a motel than hotel) and opened the door the over-riding smell of some cleaning fluid took your breath away, left the door open to try and get rid of it but the noise from the traffic made it impossible to talk, it was like being on an island with the freeways all around you. 20 minutes later we had checked out and driven to the other side of town where we checked into a Holiday Inn Express which was new, clean and exceptionally comfortable.
Would definitely not recommend this Vagabond Inn to anybody, I know it was cheap but we have stayed at far better for a similar price.
