This is the price range we usually stay at for hotels, but we've had to put up with less than standard fare. BUT, we were wonderfully surprised at this place; the room was the cleanest we have ever seen, the manager and all the staff were warm and friendly, the room had what we needed, daily room cleaning was thorough,...

I reserved this room weeks ahead of time for a visit to caltech and guaranteed the room with a credit card. When we landed at lax after a long flight we received an email stating that we had cancelled our reservation. We called immediately and were informed that the hotel had cancelled it. The unhelpful man on the phone also... More

Yes you did have a reservation at the Hotel, when you made the reservation you did give a credit card. The Hotel that weekend was at 100 percent occupancy. The hotel policy is that all credit cards must obtain an approval code from the credit card that the reservation was made from. It was unfortunate that your credit card was... More

Free parking! A plus in Pasadena. The hotel has a free breakfast. Nice to have coffee and a waffle or cereal before you are off and running. The service was very good. Asked directions and advice about a couple of stores. The young man working that day printed some items for us on the computer. The man who I presume... More

Small rooms but clean, comfortable and great value. Road noise for first floor room, but second floor in back is quieter. Breakfast was okay. Paid $80 a night for room. Good location for Caltech visit. More

The Vagabond Inn is located just outside of old town Pasadena. It is an easy walk into the best parts of Pasadena. The staff is very friendly and helpful. My room was clean and comfortable. Above average in the bathroom. Nice soft, thirsty towels in the bathroom. The continental breakfast featured serve yourself hot and cold choices. Make yourself waffles... More

We stayed here for 3 nights in April . All the hotel staff were more than welcoming and gave great advice on travel and where to eat. Free use of the internet was most useful. Rooms very clean and comfortable. Breakfast had a good choice for all. Pool lovely to come back to after a busy day out. More

I had a great stay for two nights and have no complaints. The rooms look new and are meticulously clean, there is a computer available for your use in the lobby, beds were nice, breakfast in the morning was good, the staff was polite and friendly. The room doors could be better soundproofed-- you can easily hear people talking in... More

Stayed at the Vagabond Inn in Pasadena to attend a seminar at the convention center. I am very surprised this hotel gets such great reviews. The building is old with a fresh coat of paint. The beds are some what comfortable, but I over heard another guest complaining of bed bugs. The breakfast has enough choices for my taste, but... More
