Nice clean pool and hot tub, close to the Golden 1 Center for events with a less than 5 minute walk. The room was kind of outdated but they seem to be doing renovations. Elevator was broken so stairs were the only option.

This is a solid budget friendly choice in the heart of Sacramento. It's outstanding location can not be over stated. Steps away from the Golden One Center, historic downtown, shopping... with free parking. This is not a luxury hotel, and the bathrooms could use a remodel, but the windows are huge, the rooms are large and clean, and the staff handles everything quickly and politely. I have no reservations to recommend this stay.

Simple stay, really didn’t need much for amenities. We came when there was construction so there was a lot of that, and they put us next to the construction. Staff was super nice, great location. Pool and hot tub were just what we needed.

We stayed here to attend a local concert within walking distance. The hotel was apparently going through renovations and it seemed as if all staff was busy with that. The elevators were not working which was a SUPER big inconvenience since we had a lot of bags between the two of us. There were people in the parking lot causing problems when we walked back from the concert and we were bothered by someone that was apparently staying at the same hotel. The air conditioner didn't work well and we were very uncomfortable trying to sleep in a hot room. The pictures def made me think this spot would be a good one for the night but we were unfortunately let down.

I've stayed here before, which is why I booked this stay. It was perfect because it was around the corner from the golden one center. They are upgrading the rooms which is nice, and the pool was excellent. The only drawback was the \"breakfast.\" In the past they have had a full hot breakfast. Maybe it is because they are upgrading the rooms, but all they had available were a few sad bagels. We walked for blocks and found a place to eat, which was also pretty pathetic. I'll stay here again, but I'll be sure to bring my own food so I don't depend on food first thing in the morning.

Location was convenient for us as we were there for the night for a concert, however there were little things not great like no toilet paper or hand washing soap, no floor towel in the bathroom for when u get out of the shower. Also shower was super small not made for big girls like myself. Beds were ok but they moved I sat on the bed and the bed slid on the floor. Not worth what we paid. So overall was good but not great.

It was close to the train station (walking distance) and featured overnight parking (for a fee) while we took a 4 day trip. It's under renovation which means a lot of noise, our room key didn't work when we came in late and had to go to the dest 3 times to figure it out. Pool was unavailable and breakfast minimal.

All I would say about the staff is anytime I needed something.It's like i was interrupting them cause they had to go out of their way to help me. And do not bank on the complimentary breakfast.It was horrible all there was is 2 muffins some bread in coffee. But Overall I would stay again.

We have stayed there a few times, it's convenient for our shows, but very disappointed this time, pool and hot tub not available. Why do they not reach out to let you know before you arrive, so disappointed no pool or hot tub. Not sure why if your out of regular k cup coffee a run to the store is not available. They had decaffeinated only. I know it's a small thing but details matter.
We had another opportunity to book another stay this weekend and we passed and booked another place.

I called before I arrived at my destination to see if we could get a room on the bottom floor. When I arrived, they said they weren't able to accommodate my request. They gave me a room on the 3rd floor. As it turns out, the elevator was out of order. In addition to the elevator. The AC unit in our room was dead. Not working a piece of junk. The room itself had some work that needed to be done on it and wasn't very. It was very hot and uncomfortable the entire afternoon, well into the evening. The next morning, as I was getting ready to check out, I asked the counter if they would be willing to refund me half of fee. They said they wouldn't be able to accommodate that, that I would have to go through Expedia. I notified Expedia of the situation, and they informed me that the hotel refused the partial refund. You might want to reconsider staying at this place before you make a reservation.

We found long black hairs in our towels. The continental breakfast was a croissant and there was some Philly cheese and that was it nothing to drink. The room service was the worst. It was one guy we asked for some towels, got them three hours later and he said I was busy so I would not recommend this hotel to anyone although the pool and hot tub or a gathering place for our group other than that, I do not recommend this facility.

much of property is under remodel.

Worst part - I visited Sacramento to see my brother, dying in hospital. The first night I slept at hospital so when I went back to hotel to check out early - brother was being moved into hospice at home the property did not allow me to check out early. They billed me for five nights. No early checkout. I paid almost $800 for one night when I didn’t sleep there.

Don’t take a chance on this hotel.

Well, this place is currently undergoing renovations, I was not aware when I booked it. No internet & no TV. Seemed clean enough until I found some hair (not mine in the shower & bathroom sink).

The great location and on line reviews swayed me into booking but upon arrival it was clear that it was either going to be demolished or renovated or rehabilitated.
We were on the first floor and far from the parking lot and nearly every room was covered in plastic due to construction. We stayed 4 nights due to the rate, free parking and location to freeways and old town.

I was warmly greeted when I checked in. Room was clean and had the amenities I needed. Walking distance to downtown, arena, old Sacramento, river and ballpark. Quiet too overnight. Staff was helpful in the am when I asked to check my bag at front desk while I did some sightseeing.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Especially when the water got turned off cuz a pipe burst. Not a huge fan of laminate floors in the rooms. But the bed was really comfortable. The AC in the room might have needed calibrating because it didn’t feel like 70. The door was difficult to close as well. The majority of the property was getting a major renovation so i expect much of this will be improved.

The hotel is undergoing renovations. Hopefully it will be improved. The onsite store could offer more. The breakfast was disappointing (muffins, bagels and coffee). I did enjoy cookies in the lobby. It is convenient to Old Sac (better driving than walking) The staff could offer friendlier customer service with requests and suggestions.

I booked a stay at the Vagabond last year because there was a concert and nothing else was available. I was surprised - it was an updated room that was clean with friendly staff. The breakfast was good too. So I rebooked this year for a conference.

I arrived. I waited in the lobby for about 10 minutes before any staff came in to check me in. I was given a room that might have been cleaned. I noticed shoe marks on the on the floor in the bathroom, some \"cream\" on the shower walls, and everything in the room was dated - including the chipped counter tops in the bathroom.

The entire property is being renovated. Most of the rooms are being gutted. Drywall dust is everywhere. There was construction equipment outside of my room. Waking up on Sunday morning to the sound of electrical saws and hanmers was a bonus feature not listed on the Expedia website. You could definitely charge more.

The included breakfast was a bagel. They may have had bread. I don't remember seeing a toaster. There was coffee. Hot water for tea. Nothing else was available. No cereal, fruit, milk, juice...nothing.

The highlight of the stay in the Vagabond was a plate of cookies in the reception area and I happily took a handful.

I hope they are able to sell the location and someone else takes over and improves the facility. The site location is amazing and it's really disappointing that we don't have more options in Sacramento that close to Old Town.

Stayed here on 5/12. About half of the property was under construction/renovation during our stay, so there was quite a bit of noise and we were unable to rest when we arrived. Our room had not yet been renovated and felt very outdated, so hopefully the updated rooms are an improvement.

We also ran out of toilet paper late at night and had to walk to the reception area to get more, as no one offered to bring it to the room. What bothered me most was that this happened around 9 PM and there were two employees at the front, one of whom was sitting on the couch at the time.

Another issue was that our TV did not work. I called while we were out and asked if someone could at least take a look at it or try to fix the issue, but I was simply told \"no.\"

That said, considering the price, the stay was not terrible. The location was convenient, check-in was quick, and they did allow us to check in three hours early at no extra charge, which I appreciated. However, knowing what I know now, I would personally spend a little more to stay somewhere better next time.

This hotel is a great deal and excellent location, being across the freeway from Old Town and right in the center of things. The parking is free (the $600/night Embassy across the road charges $50 for parking).The continental breakfast was surprisingly tasty. I was very pleasantly surprised by this hotel.

When we arrived the place was like a building site - noise, drilling and dust from renovating. We were given a room on the ground floor and it was terrible - it was next door to the staff room so noise and food smell came in at times. The actual room smelt of food and the fridge stank of fish, even so it was empty. You cannot open a window as it is bolted. The toilet bowl was leaking and the sink was very slow draining, almost blocked. We alerted the staff and on day 2 they sent someone who repaired the toilet bowl, but not the sink. Bed was comfortable. Every morning the drilling started at 8am, forget it if you want to sleep in a bit longer. The reception staff was helpful - we ended some coffee pods for the morning and he came to the maids room to give us some.

The story with this property is : location location location. On one side is old Sacramento think tourism for railroad fans and on the other side David j Stern Arena. Basketball fans, shopping and dining. All right there. The hotel itself is upgrading as I type this report. My room 224 had a new comfy king size bed and remodeled. Keep that in mind ( hotel is in renovation mode)
The pool and hot tub in excellent condition

The hotel is in a great location for walking old Sacramento. That was the high point. It’s literally right off the highway. The highway is loud from the location, if you’re bothered by noise. They have breakfast, but it’s coffee, a few muffins and bagels only. The property is being renovated, they started work on that very early in the morning. If you’re looking for a no frills easy place to stay while exploring the city, this is the place.

Property was under construction with work starting before 8 AM. AC in the room was horribly loud and did not work. Overnight parking was $10 and was not mentioned on Expedia’s website. On a positive note the location is phenomenal. 1 block away from Old town. 5 minute walk to the Golden 1 center. Maybe when the construction is done it will be better.

I suppose I should be thankful for the price but I did not have a good experience at the hotel. I had no idea there was construction going on during my stay. Most rooms are under renovation. During my stay: there was no shower curtain on the shower. The tv didn’t work. There was no housekeeping in the 4 nights I stayed there. While the staff was nice these issues could not be overlooked and they were slow to resolve them. At least the beds were comfortable and the lobby cookies were tasty.

Everything was good. Staff was super helpful.
Asked to check in early and the request was approved.
Clean room, AC worked well, no wash clothes though. The entertainment table under the TV was a little wonky, but it was pretty quiet for a Friday.
Oh and TV didn’t work but I don’t watch TV anyway.

I would not recommend staying at Vagabond Hotel, it should honestly be called a motel. We were never informed that the property was undergoing major construction, which felt extremely misleading. Aside from the construction crew, we were the only guests on-site, which made the environment feel uncomfortable and unsafe.

The room itself was very disappointing—stained sheets, a roach in the bathroom, and overall lackluster conditions. To make matters worse, the staff was dismissive and refused to issue a refund despite failing to disclose the construction.

This experience was unacceptable. If major renovations are happening, the hotel should close until it’s complete. Shame on you, Vagabond.

Nice remodeled room. Clean, and spare. WiFi was a little spotty but fair. Main problem was lighting in the room. No over sink light… only a lighted mirror which gave very dim light.
It is a very good location, and remodel continues, but no noise or problems related to that.
