We just left and found another place to stay. I will say the sheets looked crisp and clean. There was no air conditioning that worked. It smelled of stale cigarette smoke. It was poorly maintained. We just ate the cost of the room and left.

Good for distance to town and Fido
Within walking distance of Main Street. Not fancy but a comfortable bed and pet friendly. Being able to bring our dog was the main focus for staying here. We’ll be back in a few weeks and we’ll be staying here again.

Don’t judge a book by its cover!
We weren’t too impressed when we first drove up, the grounds could def use some sprucing up. We were greeted by a super friendly clerk who was able to get us an early check in (for a small fee). That was a great start! We went to the room and were pleasantly surprised. It was comfortable and clean, the AC worked phenomenally, the shower had great water pressure. We had no idea that right out back was the walkway that took us straight to the beach/pier. We also had no idea that we were a couple blocks walking distance to all the great restaurants on Main St. All this in one spot...a great package! We didn’t even need to use our car all weekend. We definitely will stay here again....we even made note of the room number so we can rebook it! Thanks Vagabond!

So they changed me a $100. Deposit when I got there my tv didn’t work it was black and white or purple I went to office to let them know and was told maintenance was not available until Monday. Our key wouldn’t open our room so disappointing we have stayed here many times and we feel this time they have gone down hill not happy with the extra $10. Dollars that we didn’t plan on and the rooms were not up to par

Business traveller, Travelled with pets
Disliked: Amenities
The Vagabond is a great roadside attraction from the glory days of highway 101 (non-freeway), it has suffered the last few years with the loss of the restaurant and the fact that many rooms are vouchered to the homeless. Yet, that is a good thing- and were my circumstances ever so dire, I'd suggest this to be an honorable effort by the hotel's BOD (Board of Directors) I never felt unsafe, and it is perfectly located for visiting downtown Ventura. Indeed, as a result of COVID19, the City has closed four blocks of Main St. providing for outdoor eating, etc. The facility is also directly adjacent to the walkable freeway overpass to the beach and pier. All in all, given my business reason for being in VTA and the price with DOGS ALLOWED, I've no complaints. Little things, e.g. noise from adjoining rooms, poor lighting in room, limited cable have to be factored against the under $100 price for my visit. Besides- it's a part of Ventura. Everyone was friendly, I didn't see much of the staff because I didn't have the room done every day, but bed and shower were great.
