The rooms needs to be remodeled because it had too many molds in there. Also, the guy at the front desk is amazing and he has a wonderful customer service. Sadly, I forgot his name.

Ottima posizione. Non C'è la collazione continentale anche.se prevista nel prezzo. Il pagamento è stato prima del check in.il letto è confortevole. L'arredamento sembra decisamente fine anni ottanta,quando Clint Eastwood era giovane.

We checked in Monday the 9th with Tony and he was great. Our room was 115. we opened the door and the room had a musty smell. We left the door open and it did help but not a good first impression. The tiles around the tub need to be bleached as the grout was turning dark. The sheer drapes had slits in both. I brought it to the attention of morning person but he didn't seemed concerned. There was no coffee machine in the room. The ice machine was broken and the advertised breakfast was not being served any longer. To say something positive, the beds were comfortable and clean.

Vagabondi ma costosi

Pagato check in anticipato 30 $ e check out in ritardo di 40 minuti 10 $ Molto vecchio ancora tutto anni settanta, la TV però era a colori😁. Tot 170 $ it's too much for this experience. M.152

Overall, I was pleased with this vagabond inn. We stayed at another vagabond in Sunnyvale and this was comparably better! The bed didn’t feel old and warped and the cleanliness of the room was well maintained. I highly recommend that this hotel go through interior renovations. Replace the carpets with wood floors, add colors to the walls, and add coffee makers in each of the rooms.

Not a good place

The only good thing about this property is the proximity to the USC campus. Beyond that, it isn’t good. The area doesn’t look or seem very safe, even though it isn’t very far from the campus, which itself is very attractive and appears safe and well-maintained. Check-in was fine, although it was disconcerting that the check-in area was locked and I needed to be buzzed in to see the clerk. When I arrived, I immediately noticed a sign that indicated that the free continental breakfast was no longer being offered as of 2/18, several days before our stay. It was irritating that I paid for a service that was apparently cut before my arrival without any notice. The room itself was a typical motel room from 1985. It felt extremely dated. Sheets and towels were ok, but everything else was in generally poor condition. The smoke alarm malfunctioned at 2AM and woke us up. The clerk was unmoved by this when I reported it at checkout. Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again unless the only other option was sleeping in my car.

Disappointing

The interior of the room is run down. The bed hurt my back. The employees were nice and helpful. They no longer serve breakfast. There was literature in the room that says they do serve breakfast though. They also charge $10 per night to park your car. The accessible room was small and tight to get around the big furniture.

The only good thing is the proximity to the USC campus. Price is outrageous for what you get. Facilities are old, carpets are thick and worrisome, sheets were not great and we got a very old, clinic like bathroom. Only the towels felt clean. Check out is at 12pm, asked to leave car there for a bit longer but got a flat no and no help on close by parkings - evening staff on 1/19 was not nice nor helpful.

Furniture is too old, room was not clean, the phone inside the room was not working, location is bad and far from the downtown, the area seams not safe at night. The wifi is extremely bad and frequently disconnects. I could not make calls with my family back home on messenger using the wifi because of the bad signal. I asked the receptionist to make a local phone call from the reception but she said go to your room and make the call from inside it, then I realized that the phone was not working, and when I told them about this problem they did not send anyone to check it or fix it. When I checked in, they said coffee is available any time at the reception (same as food area), but that was not true, becaused I walked at evening to get coffee then they said we only serve it in the morning. The breakfast is not that good, and there are no tables to set and enjoy the breakfast. In summary, it is not worthy the money that you pay, and I don't advise anyone to check in this hotel.
