Not a nice place to stay. TV small and old-not Hi Def. Mattress was noisy upon getting in bed. Plain and simple \"breakfast\" and the coffee was weak. I only stayed there because it is close to the Long Beach airport where I had a very early flight.

The nightly rate, though, was satisfactory.

Better than I expected after reading the other reviews on here. Room was clean and air conditioned. Staff was friendly and helpful when I needed to change my check out date. The area was sketchy but there's a mini mart for cold drinks and snacks within the same block. Would go here again if I was in the area. Was perfect for going to Warped Tour was like a 20 min walk to the festival.

Necessary evil. Closest available hotel to Warped tour. Spent almost 1k on it. Bathroom deteriorating, ac fan rattle aggressively throughout the night, cockroach in hallway. Continental breakfast consisted of cereal, white bread or bagels. Only thing good for us, close walking distance to venue.

I was initially hesitant because of some of the reviews I read but honestly, we greatly enjoyed our stay. King size bed, the room was huge, had everything we needed to get through three nights. They're lighting system is a little weird because you don't really know what switch turns on what but that's fine. Was it noisy? Yes the location is downtown Long Beach so you're guaranteed to have some noise. Easily solved with some earplugs and we slept through the night. AC worked great. He also have a channel with 24/7 SpongeBob which we definitely took advantage of. Already booked a room for next year.

Breakfast really couldn't be called continental. Not even cream for coffee and at 8:00 they were out and didn't bring more for over 20 minutes. We got a parking spot but when we wanted to go out for the evening we took an Uber so we didn't lose our spot. Would've saved money by getting a better motel with better parking. There was a significant hole in the floor under the tile that kept sinking when you stepped on it. Not very well maintained property.

Last stayed here for the 2022 Long Beach Marathon. It was adequate. They’ve been closed for renovations so I expected improvements. They did replace the carpet with laminate flooring but removed the fridge, microwave and large screen TV. There wasn’t even a bar or hangers for clothing! Tiny TV only had 4 local stations. At least the A/C worked. I will stay elsewhere in the future.

I would recommend booking this place only for short stays. A day or two at most. During my stay, it was quite noisy, and I would not recommend using the stairs if you have a heightened sense of smell. On the positive side, the staff were friendly and helpful.

The online pics do not reflect what the rooms actually look like. The blanket on one of the beds had several cigarette burns, the sheet was dingy and stained. The screen on one of the windows was ripped and the other window had no screen at all.
The ceiling had stains that looked like blood.
The “continental breakfast” consisted of 4 over ripe bananas, 5 mini sunny delight plastic bottles, 2 loaves of bread with a few packets of butter squares, 4 croissants, cereal with a drop of milk in a plastic pitcher (probably spoiled) No coffee in the thermoses. 2 canisters of some sort of cereal.

Every single detail of this building is completely filthy, dusty, with grime everywhere. I would NOT stay here, I would not recommend anyone to step foot here. The older man working behind the desk is absolutely rude and disregards any concern you may have. The pictures on their website are misleading and not accurate. The only thing going for this place is the proximity to the beach, however still NOT worth it.

We put my son up for the weekend there, so I wasn't the one using the room. It was fine great location in downtown Long Beach, near to the beach and groceries.
I didn't like arriving with people smoking joints in the parking lot in their cars. I appreciate the no smoking policy, however. Would be nice to have a designated area outside, away from view--just wishful thinking.

Parking on site, clean room, near beach and downtown, breakfast is seriously lacking, manger doesn’t replenish fresh fruit or juice once consumed by other guests, adjoining kitchen showed more fruit and juice ready to be served but manger only replaces bread and croissants. More breakfast options would be nice, and the replacement of foods once taken by other guests would be nice .

This place is poorly maintained. A professional has never been hired here to fix anything. Every door jamb, door, light switch is dirty and grimey. There was stuff splattered on the walls and ceilings. Our bathroom door has a square piece panel attached to cover a hole. Our room # plate was missing a digit. Floors were gross, TV stopped working (staff shrugged their shoulders and said maybe it will work tomorrow), ceiling panels in the elevator are being held together with duct tape and it's peeling apart. There's something resting on it that looks like a small dead animal. The light fixture in our room was almost removed, and the base remaining was almost covering the hole in the ceiling. The new light was across the room. The line they cut down the length of the ceiling. Then they just took a paint roller and painted one bright white stripe across the pop corn texture. Our windows were about 10 ft off the ground to a back alleyway, and they donn't lock or even click shut. They just freely slid back and forth. My son stepped into a hole in the floor while going around the bed. The lenolium is broken and sunken in. There is tape over a light switch. The \"breakfast\" was a few tiny croissants, a pitcher of milk, and some plain white bread. The point is, everything in sight here is handled with a band-aid approach, and it makes me wonder how everything else is handled, like cleaning the sheets, the water and plumbing, or the wiring. This is a last resort.

The price and location was alright. We compromised because of the pictures tied to the room we got weren't half bad. (Btw, NOT the room we got at aaalll) We knew it wasnt going to be upscale. But we didnt expect a slum. For the price, we had our smoke detector go off for a full day, and part of the second day before someone fixed it. The continental breakfast consisted of toast, bad coffee, and corn flakes and a mouse running around on the floor. When I mentioned seeing a mouse to the person at the desk (I believe the manager or owner) he ignored me completely and acted as if I didnt mention it at all. And the toilet clogged after every use. Very dirty place. Very dirty. The cleaning ladies were nice but I have never experienced anything as gross as that....

Oh my gosh, everything that used to be renovated it is so dated there were holes in the blanket thank goodness we only stayed for one night. I would definitely pay more money next time when we’re going on a cruise and stay at a nicer place. This was just awful.

My experience at the Vagabond Hotel for one night was HORRIBLE!!!!

The property is in very poor condition with lots of deferred maintenance. The website photographs presernt a false impression.

Worse, the hotel is patronized by guests who arer up all night, shouting, banging doors, and running up and down the hallways, so much so, it was impossible to sleep.

On top of that, all night long, there was lots of noise coming from the gas station/convenience store adjacent to the inn on the north.

I will never stay at the Vagabond Inn on Alamitos Avenue in Long Beach again.

Parking was a nightmare. Got blocked in over three times after only staying two nights. Rooms were disgusting and poorly maintained. Towels were dirty. Windows,mirrors,counters,floors obviously not cleaned for awhile. Overall gross. Kinda separate but was awake till 3 am well somebody was playing with there toddler running up and down the halls. Walls are so thin you can hear just about everything and seems like it’s a constant influx of unfriendly people not even staying at the hotel taking up the parking spaces/ hanging out in the parking lot. Overall if you’re here to get a room to party 100% would get a room here. If you have a family or a girlfriend and saw the cheaper prices like me I would avoid at all costs. Staff was very friendly though!

A bit ghetto area, as there were homeless on the street, the hotel obviously can’t control that. Okay rooms, for $100 you have a place to sleep and shower. TV’s were useless and the lamps didn’t work. Staff were friendly. Easy check in and parking

This was easily the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. Do yourself a favor and do not stay here.
Throughout the night, I was woken up multiple times between 12:00 AM and 4:00 AM. The walls are incredibly thin, honestly thinner than 2-ply toilet paper, and you can hear everything happening in the hallway. The environment felt chaotic and uncomfortable. At one point, children were running through the halls and screaming late into the night until someone finally yelled around 3:00 AM for them to stop. Around 4:00 AM, I was startled awake by someone aggressively banging on a door, repeatedly yelling, “Give me my phone back” for several minutes. The banging became louder and more intense, and it genuinely felt concerning.
The type of people and behavior encountered here says a lot about the place. On top of that, the room quality was poor, and the stairwells smelled strongly like urine.
Overall, this was a disgusting experience, and I would not recommend staying here.

My husband and I stayed here on April 2026. They do provide free parking, which is an absolute plus for California, where you have to pay parking for just about any place you visit. We checked in around 7pm and the gentlemen gave us the key for our room; we went to the room only to find out it was already occupied, as soon as we walked in my husband noticed some luggage and stuff on the bed, luckily for us there was no body in the room at that time. (That has never happened to us before, and we travel plenty. It was very scary experience for us just to think if there was somebody in the room). Left the room and went back to the reception and he gave us another room. This room looked nothing like the online pictures, it looked like the utility room with a bed, tv and a bathroom. True! it was the cheapest we found close to the beach @ $89.00 dollars/ night, but it was not what they advertised. Next day we talked to the morning attendant, and he did move us a better room. Our second night, the new room was connected to another room, and we could hear people with loud tv, music and like they were having a fun time. We were sleeping on and off all night long. Ended up falling in deep sleep around 6am. After they left. I don't think we will ever be back to this place.

Amenities didn't work. Stains on the walls are not as appealing, but other than that okay. You can tell most of the room was just patched up instead of being properly fixed.

Our room was fine, the AC sounded like it was farting all night, and the sink/counter in the bathroom was very close to the toilet. The other room was fine and didn’t seem to have any issues.

In the last few Month's i have rented rooms here quite a bit. The Hotel is okay but one Front Desk Clerk lately has been quite rude and unprofessional in that all of a sudden with my past two rentals he started demanding a $100.00 deposit that was never asked for the several times before i rented a room and he demands it in a most unfriendly and hostile way which for a business that is suppose to be Hospitable he make's you feel anything but welcome. The only reason i pick this Hotel is because of the affordable price on the average rooms but i have started to look at other options because this employee who claims he is a Manager has really started to offend me in many way's so i cannot recommend staying here to anyone due to his terrible and unfriendly personality which is very disturbing.

I didn’t stay at this motel for myself, but I booked a room for a friend that was experiencing homelessness and offered to help for a few days. It was unfortunate that the staff was extremely rude and not helpful, I definitely wouldn’t recommend or use this place again based on that alone.

​\"I stayed here for two days and it was a terrible experience from start to finish. To begin with, the toilet in our room was clogged, and there was zero effort from staff to fix the situation. There is no room service and essentially the withholding breakfast that was bread and the worst tasting coffee.
​The management is the biggest issue. The manager was incredibly rude, unprofessional, and made us feel extremely uncomfortable. He spent time watching us from our car and micromanaging our arrival. When it came time to check out, he tried everything possible to withhold my deposit, even after his own staff confirmed the room was in perfect condition. It felt like he was intentionally antagonizing us. Between the poor service and the suspicious activity in the surrounding area, I would strongly advise staying elsewhere. They do not treat their guests with respect.\"

If you are not spending a lot of time in the hotel, this is a fine place to stay on a budget. Would not recommend for light sleepers, you can hear the traffic outside even with earplugs. Walking distance from beach, grocery, restaurants. Not the nicest area of town but I felt safe enough as a solo female traveler with the secured front doors and deadbolts on the rooms.

I wouldn't pay $100+ to stay at this hotel. I don't know about all the rooms, but mine wasn't worth $100+. I have to clarify that the only positive thing was the cleanliness, absolutely nothing else. The beds creaked with the slightest movement, and everything was very old. My room was #324, in case the rest of the rooms are perfect and I was just unlucky.
This is not a family-friendly place. On the day of check-in, we arrived at 11:00 PM, and after registering, we encountered a couple smoking weed inside the premises. At 5:00 AM, we were woken up by screaming; a couple was fighting for over an hour—shouting so loudly that no one could sleep.

There was very little parking. The front desk person had to ask someone to come move their car over a little to fit our car into a spot that wasn't really a spot. The neighborhood around there is also a little rough and there was a lot of noise from people in the streets throughout the night

Parking was terrible. Had to park in an alley way. Turned out to be a blessing because they loaded the parking lot at night with cars from a lot. Side hustle?

Bathroom was in terrible shape- broken, dirty tiles, tub and fixtures- sink unstable and ready to fall off the wall. Parking inadequate- cars were blocked in their spaces by other cars parked and left in the middle of the lot overnight. The entire parking lot was grid lock. Rooms are Nothing like shown on their website. If you’re expecting to park in a parking space, don’t stay here. If you need to set your hand on the sink to brush your teeth- don’t stay here- bathroom is completely Unsafe!

Over the year's i have stayed here occasionally but in the last 3 month's i have stayed more times then ever but the last visit was disturbing. For the first time ever an older male desk attendant wanted a $100.00 deposit for the room (on top of the Expedia Fee for the room of $115.81 already on a pay hold) which was never wanted or collected before? But when a couple of day's later the Deposit was not returned and i went back to the Hotel to ask him about why it wasn't? He then got all defensive and would not return the deposit because it had been returned already which i had proof was not true and was never returned but was indeed charged as a credit not a deposit. So with this last quite disturbing behavior by this man i am not sure if i will chance staying there again? Why bother. 👎 A A L
