I had to ask for another room because the door wouldn't lock. Clerk told me to mess with it a little bit and it should work! I asked for another room. Rooms are dirty, smelly, and price was ridiculous! I stayed at the Westin for less than I paid at this hotel! The location is in a bad part of town with a lot of "undiserables" hanging around at all hours. Do yourself a favor and fork out an extra fifty bucks to stay at the Best Western down the street!

I stay there every year to attend a convention. The place is maintained passably well. I left my socks on to protect feet from "gunk"..they were filthy by morning. There is no extra blanket & clerk reluctant to provide one >. "Free" wireless was hard to log on to..then the nearby Travelodge kept over riding our installation. Constant H20 drip in shower. Very uninspiring "continental breakfast" content and area where it's served. They pre-charge you for available in room safe which you need to get reversed on checking out. No free local paper .

I stayed at this hotel for the anime expo being held at the L.B convention center. It was one of the cheaper hotels surrounding the convention area making it excellent for a budget traveler. The place is a not exactly luxury, but I enjoyed my stay here. The breakfast was not as described. It did not consist of eggs, toast, beacon, or any warm breakfast entrees, but rather cupcakes, fruit, and some bakery items. So much for a continental breakfast! The rooms and the hotel itself seem to be a little outdated. The carpet appeared to look old, but fairly clean like the rest of the room. The bathrooms could use some remodeling as well. The rooms were pretty spacious too. When I drove to the hotel a lot of the parking was cramped in the front, and hard to get in through the back, which happens to be an alley that would not appeal to a lot of people. I was lucky to get a spot in the front since the cars parked at the back of the hotel in the alley are more vulnerable to car theft and break ins. The pool was in the parking lot and not exactly up to date either. Staff was friendly except when I tried to get help setting up my wi-fi connection for my laptop, the guy at the front desk put me on hold, on hold again, and then hung up on me! I had to go downstairs in order to get the password needed to connect. Overall, the hotel provided I and my boyfriend a nice place to stay at for the anime convention. For only $58.50 per night for us, this hotel was an excellent price for its location. It's not the best place, but it supplied us with the necessary needs for our travels. I suggest those who want a little more luxury to stay another hotel in the area, possibly the Hyatt or Renaissance hotel.

We booked the Vagabond Long Beach after reading all of the reviews most of them negative. We were pleasantly surprised. We booked it because of the proximity to the Pro Beach Volleyball tournament we were attending. We were able to walk to the venue and not have to pay for parking at the event. The rooms were large and adequate. It is definitely an older motel in need of remodeling, but it was serviceable and fit our needs just fine. The continental breakfast was store bought pastries, croissants, coffee, tea, juice, bananas and apples. Our reservation was done online and the price was great. The desk clerks were very helpful with driving directions the two times we needed help and they allowed us to leave our car in the parking lot on our final day after we had checked out in order to walk to our event. Overall, it was nothing outstanding, but it was clean and comfortable.
