Roaches in the room and found a little dropping the next morning other than that everything was good and clean just think they have a pest problem
Griselda
There has been an update and clean up of this hotel. We stayed here once 25 years ago just for the price. But I can say our family felt safe there was cameras and good lighting. The staff were super nice, helpful and friendly. We would stay here if we come back to the Valley!!
Renee
Tenían música a todo volumen. A un lado de nuestro cuarto y arriba Música y brincando Llámanos a la oficina y no hicieron Nada
Juan

James B.
Nice!
Gayle
This is a great place if you are looking for a quick night stay. We have stayed here a couple times, as our daughter lives close by. The best part is they are pet friendly. Would love if they have amenities in the room like a coffee maker. And a lot of non-guest people walking through the parking lot.
Nora
Quick and easy check in and out, friendly staff, great stay for the price. Thin walls/windows/doors so if loud people are around you will hear it. Overall clean room, bathroom, bedding, and towels. Hot water takes a while but it works.
Pedro
Great stay
Blanca
Internet slow, very clean rooms.
OMAR
The area where the hotel was located was really nice and the room where super clean you could smell the bleach when you walk in the bed sheets looked and smell clean overall i had a good experience stating here i would definitely book here again.. oh by the way theres a gas station a mcdonalds and a dennys walking distance.
Allen
I stayed at Vagabond Inn Sylmar and honestly it was disappointing. The air-con wasn’t working, so the room was unbearably hot. We had to open the window, but the area is very loud at night, which made it hard to sleep.
We even saw a cockroach in the room, and you have to pay just to get ice. We were traveling with an infant and found out a baby crib isn’t included, which was really inconvenient. My wife also broke out in hives after just one night there, which was concerning. For the price we paid, the experience really wasn’t worth it.

Toni
Friendly staff, small room but beds were super comfy, daily room cleaning with fresh towels.
Marcel
Clean, not much with amenities, close to freeway access, low pet fee
Clarissa
Communication with staff was difficult. The room looked run down. The curtains didn’t even close all the way. Felt like an unsafe area.
Johanna
It was a great stay
Dante
great stay
Fernando
Room was clean and basic. My only issue is that the walls, window and door are extremely thin when it comes to sound. You hear more than you'd expect. Other than that, it was exactly worth the price.

My family and I stayed here during the summer in 2025! It was amazing then and it continues to be one of the only motels that I will stay at with my family. The manager is amazing and very understanding and you can guarantee he will never forget a face. The staff at the front desk are very accommodating. The cleaning ladies and maintenance are always so friendly and clean very well and fast! The air conditioning works extremely well and the shower and water pressure is excellent. This place definitely deserves more recognition! Thank you Vagabond for my enjoyable stay and the respect you give to myself and my children.

Room was super cold unable to turn on heater
Roy
Zero amenities. Luckily it had heating. Whoever was upstairs made it unbearable. Not worth the pay.
walter
I just stayed for one night... room seems clean, but bed very firm. Pretty quiet except a truck did a donut across the street.
Janelle
The staff was nice. The price was nice. but you get what you pay for the room is very outdated and old dirty needs remodeling.

Donald 'Skip'
Room- heater did not work, outside room: guy working on his car, people next door banging on their door all night. Loud talking at 3am and 4am, Sketchy people hanging around- rear rooms and rear parking area totally sketchy. I wont EVER stay there again
Henry
It’s okay
Henry

Key was a little difficult to use…did not open door right away.
Naomi
Sat out in the cold for over 2 hours trying to check in my reserved room that was already paid for... Didn't even stay at all!!!
Tiffany
Quick and hassle free booking and checking in, front desk attendant was very polite, friendly and welcoming. Spacious, Clean and fresh smelling room with stocked towels, toilet paper and soaps. Freshly made and very comfortable bed, free WiFi and cable, laundry room with microwave on site, respectful and peaceful neighbors, quiet and calm environment with very friendly maids that actually know how to clean very well and take their job seriously by maintaining professionalism and keeping the building and rooms exceptionally clean and they go above and beyond to accommodate any necessary needs you may have. And to top it all off they even served everyone up with a free yummy Thanksgiving meal gathering around back and allowed you to get seconds if you wanted to and boy was that feast delicious! Vagabond Inn is and always will be THE BEST!!! They earn 10 ⭐️’s and the moon from me any day!

Mike
Good customer service by clerk and cleaning staff the Owner cares for keeping place clean.
Esther
Easy, quick check in, the night person was friendly. The AC was on when i got in the room at nearly midnight therefore the room was very cold. However, the heater didn't seem to be working, the system only let out child air so I just turned it off but my room was cold and I was too tired to get anyone to come fix it. Otherwise the room was fine, the beds are double beds, 2 adults fit snugly in that bed.
Henry

Katelyn
Good

The first room we got, the ac was not working. The second room we got had ac but not enough towels, the bedding was thin for the cool evening. No extra blankets. The shower was so small even for an average size person. Beds were uncomfortable, made alot of noise just sitting on them. No microwave, no fridge, no hair dryer. I was highly disappointed. Never again.
Angie
It was fine will stay there again if I had to.
Susan
Angel and the maids are outstanding and friendly. Ricardo is also friendly and works hard.

Heber
Arrived at the hotel and there some unfriendly characters at the parking area, there seemed to be a party going on.
The room was really cold, the warm setting was still really cold, had add blankets that we carry with us.
The cherry on top came at around 3 am when insisting knocking was done on the room next to us, but the walls are so thin that everything was heard and felt. The knocking didn't stop and I wanted to go out and punch some lights out, but being in this part of town... well, never again.

Harry
This for most $100 was a total ripoff. Towels were worn thin, no hair dryer, no frig, no microwave, bed shoved into corner we had to pull it out to get in on the wall side, a McDonalds and a very empty Denny’s are the only food choices. Druggies at parking entrance and at Denny’s two doors away. Did not feel safe.
Melissa
Good Location
Conveniently located close to the freeway and meet up with my daughter. Friendly staff with easy check-in and out. Clean rooms, plenty of parking. The a/c in the room works phenomenal...we got cold. Do not expect top of the line hotel, the room was perfect for what we needed at a good price.

Melissa
Super clean. Really nice for the price. Would stay again.
Chad
When I arrive I realized I made a hugh mistake booking a room at this hotel. First off a plumber was working right outside my window i just wanted to rest but that was not possible. The area had people walking around outside my door that didn't have a room. It was no way I was going to sleep with conversations outside my window. I could have told the hotel staff about this but I didn't want to be the bad guy in this event. I will never ever book a room at this hotel I didn't even see security if it was I didn't see them. Future advice for all future guesses check the area out day and night before you book so you won't make the same mistake I did.
Betsy
Room was clean. Close to the I-5. Only cons were beds are extra firm and room was freezing cold.
