Vagabond Inn Long Beach

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.

Overall it was a good experience

Very good place right by the beach

It is close to the beach Dirty, spiders and roaches. Blankets were dirty! Luckily we had our own but I guess you get what you pay for.

I like The location

I broke out in a skin rash all over my stomach, my elbows and my neck from the sheets

Exceptional

The staff was very friendly. It is in a great location. This is an older property and has obviously had some updating but still feels older. It was clean and maintained. The parking situation is poor at best. Few parking stalls and is first come, first served. So don’t leave for dinner, you might need to park in neighborhood. I liked the bed, wife said it was to firm. I will stay there again.

Its the cheapest place you can find in the area and dont expect too much. Its old and in some areas it smelled bad. For a night or 2 it is fine but not more than that. There is a very basic breakfast included and it was a nice touch. Check in and out was a breeze.

No parking they said 1 car per room but I parking lot & garages were full & I had to park down the street . if you park in the garage you have to walk down the alley around to the front! Kind of scary! The second nite we stayed they charged us $ 40. More will not be going back!

Disappointing

I would not even bother saying they have a continental breakfast. Broken ice machine. Not enough parking for guests. Few homeless roaming the area, would not recommend walking alone. Rooms were cool and clean, no fridge or microwave in the rooms. I stay at the one in Bishop and the difference is night and day.

Bathroom door did not close. Half the room lights did not work. No OJ for breakfast.

Toast and coffee was good , room was clean, and shower head had a powerful stream, and location was the best, walked to eat , walked to beach, literally 2 blocks from the beach. Really , no complaints

The location was far from the cruise port. The property is very out dated and smelt like old furniture. I had to have my room key rekeyed twice because it wouldn’t open room door.

They are very nice people

Filthy moldy tub broken tv and remote was supposed to be 2 queen bed 2 double beds is what we got for 3 adults not even screens on the windows absolutely disgusting Um there was nothing we liked no coffee in room no fridge beds were dirty 3 towels 1 wash cloth outlets were not even covered with a plate

It was an old hotel

Nice location.

Exceptional

Disappointing

Free parking and close to the beach are the best features

Staff was rude!

I love it staff Parkin the air conditioner

Sorry to give a negative review, but the property was a dump, very run down, very limited parking, ice machine didn’t work. It was pretty awful

For what she pay , you can't expect much for breakfast. They did provide fresh coffee.\n Donuts cereal.

Exceptional

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 .

Que el Parkin es muy limitado, y se estasionan en doble fila y es mucho problema para quien sale temprano, en lo personal me tocó caminar a mi evento

Same thank you

Thank you Same thank you

Good

my room was not clean at all when i arrived ! There were dead roaches an alive roaches ! the bathroom sink was dirty ! the shower had hair all on walls from whoever stayed before! there was fecias on the wall!

PICTURES FROM BOOKING WAS NOTHING IN PERSON ! THERE WAS NO MICROWAVE IN ROOM LIKE WAS SAID! BREAKFAST WAS INCLUDED BUT WAS RIDICULOUS IT WAS BREAD WITH BUTTER ! i will NOT RETURN AT ALL

This hotel is in a very good location, steps away from restaurants, bars, attractions, and public transportation if you need it.

It has a roof, air conditioning, a bed, wifi (didnt really use it), walking distance to the beach helpful staff, and was clean For what I paid, it was good. Dont expext anything fancy. Breakfast has no meat, at least the weekend i was there.

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.

it is ran down

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....

Yes

No shuttle. Used Uber. Close a great Mexican resta, gas station for coffee snd wslking distance to beach, store and more restaurants. Older hotel but was clean.

The smell in the room was horrible no matter what you did to take it way it was gross the air conditioning didn’t help opening the windows didn’t help the homelessness sleeping on the property by parked cars with bad, the water pressure in the shower none! The bed sheets dirty. Then the power was upset at how much I paid saying I paid to low!!!

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.

I wouldn't stay here again

Nice

Ac keeps room cool bed with a little hard over all a good stay

Clean room. Stafc nice. Close to grest Mexican restaurant and walking distance to a grocery store

Very low budget

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.

Staff is great here and very helpful. Old hotel with minimal amenities. Great location!

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

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.

Dirty blankets and towels. When we asked for clean items, we were treated very rudely.

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.

It was okay 15 years ago would have been a lot better

It was the worst stay I have ever had

This was the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in in my life, I’ve stayed in some bad places but this one takes the cake! Avoid at all cost

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.

Early check in kinda sucked, I was here for an event so I had to get an early check in and got charged even if it was an hour early

Yes

Owner is nice but the staff is not

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.

Everything was great

No microwave and no fridge

​"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."

Parking was very small. People live there. They were very loud. Continental breakfast was only cereal & bread. The families that live there was eating everything. It just wasn't for me

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.

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!

Good value.

Very nice motel

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

Hated this hotel

The cleanliness and safety of the area (including parking area, elevators and surrounding area) did not justify the price we paid for the room. For the price you would expect, at the least, clean sheets, a well lit parking lot with sufficient parking, and a somewhat updated bathroom/shower. We had to circle the block several times and wait for a parking to open up; can not park on streets because of permit laws in LB. Our bedding had stains, ciggerette burns and holes. The shower was very outdated, walls and toilet did not look clean, mold in shower, drywall crumbling, water pressure was very low and the vent fan did not work. The whole room was dusty and the table and dresser tops had a slight sticky film on them. There was noise all night in the hallways.

Decent stay

Affordable, good location. Not glamorous but decent

Nice staff clean room

Dirty sheets (blood & urine stains）and bath tub unclean

Perfect for my stay for a convention! The staff was responsive and helpful, and when I encountered an error with my booking (my fault), they were incredibly understanding and proactive. The rooms were clean and comfortable. An excellent value for a room in a stellar location!

Sketchy. There was a guy dumpster diving right behind the building where I had to park. Windows did little to block out the noise from the street and street people. Spend the extra $ and go to a Mariott.

Very old and dirty place

I had to get a few hours sleep before getting back on the road! Room was ok , it served its purpose, better than expected. Staff was awesome.

It a beautiful location near the beach and ship terminal and city life. The rooms were nasty, not clean properly I got two room for the night since traveling with family. The drawers were broken sink was about to fall off the wall. This property needs to be refurbished. For its location it can look better inside and out. Parking is the worst, very limited spaces very lucky if you get a spot, if you leave good luck you’ll be parking in the street elsewhere.

The outside looks nothing like the inside the inside is beautiful and looks brand new very comfortable and easy get around an park

It’s run down, dirty. And the breakfast calling it a continental is a stretch.

Very loud all night. Open window faced an alley with lots of activity around the garbage.

Room was not that great, no coffee pot no microwave no refrigerator! My tv didn't work. Inside and out really shows it age!

convenient and comfortable.

Great location

Staff was ok. There is NO POOL as mentioned and shown in pictures. Very old and worn down dirty. Breakfast was toast, cereal, croissants and terrible coffee no hot water for tea. No refrigerator or microwave in the rooms no hairdryer in the room.

The hotel rooms look nothing like in the pictures. Rooms were not so nice looking. Very outdated. But very close to the beach. If I had my kids with me I would of canceled my resavation.

A decent room for cheap just to spend a night to sleep before you head out on a cruise

Was it clean room? Staff was very nice.

Not up to its standards

The fire alarm was going off all night , kids were screaming down the hallway all night, the curtains in the room as you touched them ripped up , there were water spots in the cieling .

Both staff were courteous, our room and bathroom were very clean as well. I just didn't care about the chair provided in room..there is pllenty of food nearby including sushi 👍and a vons in case something was forgotten or for a snack.

something else, the vibe was different than I have ever seen.

Room was decent and clean except restroom toilet would not flush so they moved to a different room.property itself felt safe and close to everything about 15 min walk from downtown. I would stay again.

It was ok, just okay. No mini fridge for the room, no microwave either. Breakfast. Was bare bones just some apples and bananas, cherios, frosted flakes with a pitcher of milk. And some mini croissants and bread with a toaster. I ended up eating out everymorng. The hotel staff were friendly. And its by a lot of good food restaurants.

It was clean and very close to our events and restaurants.

Great location, NO PARKING, No Breakfast just coffee and toast

The bathroom door was broken and didn’t close all the way, and the towel rack was missing the bar. The bathroom in general was not appealing. The room had a funny smell. The continental breakfast was shameful

Everything is a great !! Clean room and breakfast every morning ! Staff is nice ! U highly recommend to stay in Vagabond Inn for future !

Room was comfortable. Convenient location to the cruise port.

The room was patched and painted in a very amateurish way. The floor was lumpy, the windows were low quailty, loose in the frames and had zero effect on keeping out noise from the busy street just inches from our room. Parking is extremely limited. Guy at the front desk was nice...I didn't see any bugs like the Yelp reviews promised so that was good.

It was very nice close to everything

Building old and worn, but room was spotless, well appointed. Staff was professional and courteous.

Room was in good condition and clean. The staff was polite.

Clean

While the room was not one of the updated ones, it was clean and met our needs, good for the price, we were happy!

Room was great clean the parking is great entrance by card was a plus very good stay

Room was clean overall however it had a musky thick smell when u walk into the room. The "mirror" or "glass" above the bed was odd as none of the lights worked on it & it kinda creeped me out that there were wires running to it, made me think there was a camera behind it. Overall a ok stay

Very helpful staff. Room very clean. Continental breakfast. Very receptive to requests.

Excellent , no complaints, clean , close to downtown

The room felt neglected and unsanitary. These are basic issues that should never be present in a hotel room, regardless of price. Photos online do not reflect the actual condition of the property. I would not stay here again and would strongly recommend choosing another hotel.

The staff was excellent and honest. I had no problems. The beds do need changing they are a bit soft and sagging now.. Otherwise, it was good.

PROFILE PICTURES ARE A BIG LIE. HORRIBLE PLACE. RUN DOWN, DRUNK PEOPLE UP AND DOWN. LOOKS LIKE A HOMELESS SHELTER. WENT UP TO OUR ROOM AND IMMEDIATELY LEFT THIS HOTEL. DO NOT BRING YOUR FAMILY HERE.

The stated breakfast time was 6:00 AM but it wasn’t open and I needed to leave to get to the airport and no one was at the front desk to let me in to check out.

The room was clean. No refrigerator. They were painting room doors and the smell of the paint was strong.

Not enough parking space, the rooms are run down, the complementing breakfast so limited and the food looked too old. Not enough pressure on the showerhead and poor customer service!. I am not going there again 😡

Showers were excellent. Management usually friendly and helpful. But the breakfast was just breads, cereal and a banana. Worst was the "limited" parking. If you didnt get there early, you were out of luck with no suggestions of what to do next. They even posted a letter offering cancellations of reservations to customers who couldnt park.

It was nice. But it could be a little quieter

Yes

Good

Pros: Great location downtown and cheap Cons: The room was disgusting. I've never stayed in a more gross hotel. Didn't even mean to book here, I was thinking of a different place. Don't even bother

Was rudely awakened by cars in alleys honking horns and breakfast was not the best no boiled eggs or danish…

Perfect if you plan on spending your whole trip outside of the room. Safe place to go at the end of the day to sleep. Bed is comfy compared to other affordable motels. Staff was friendly and easy parking.

Room was average. Staff was somewhat helpful

Convenience of location. Close to Downtown Long Beach, restaurants and shopping!

Thank you to the staff member that helped out with parking.

Unfortunately, when I got ready to check out, I called the front desk to ask if they could bring the rolling cart to assist me with getting my bags to the car, on the phone their response was “we don’t have room service.” I told him I didn’t expect room service. I was simply asking for help. So, I ended up getting help with my bags being taken to my car by housekeeping staff. It’s too bad they had to have an attitude about “helping” one of their guests with bags when checking out. I also asked about the free, local shuttle, and they did say that they had one, but they had no information about it or how to direct me on a Sunday to get more information about it. That info would have been helpful if made available when checking in.

there's no fridge in the rooms, parking is pretty bad. also the pictures of the room is misleading. it looks nothing like the pictures. it's outdated. also bad fixtures, tv wasn't working and no hair dryer. won't be back

Room Needs major work Hotel was Empty an theu still put me under a room with people stomping all over the floor couldnt sleep an when asked to put me im diff room they couldnt but yet the Hotel was over Half empty Never again Crappy Hotel Crappy service

There was a dead roach in the room the entire time we dtayed there. Non smoking room smelled like cigarette smoke. Hot/cold options for shower only one or other was avaliable to use.

The room was just okay for the price that I got for. The front deck was good.

Room spotless clean very happy

The room was clean and decent, but the bathroom was destroyed, stained, and looked terrible. It's okay for one night, but no more.

Good stay great to have a fridge and a microwave. Only down fall is there isn’t a ice vending machine.

Staff was nice

We woke up to Cockroaches in our room!!!!

We just needed a 1 day stay before a cruise and it worked out perfectly. Beds were comfortable, shower worked, and that’s all we needed.

No fridge, no microwave, no parking.

This hotel is just an okay place to stay with its location being the plus point. It's basically a two (2) stars type place that serves the purpose of sleeping and showering. They have limited parking on first come first basis. The walls are so thin that you can hear outside noise loud and clear. The floor noise from the floor above you is also loud. My room was clean but it did not have a refrigerator, microwave or an iron. Some light fixtures were not working. I wouldn't stay here again.

room was a little outdated but clean. air conditioner worked fine.

Room condition was a little bad with rusted towel holder

Very run down, but things worked. Bed was fine. Should be cheaper. HBO channels were pixilated. Staff was nice but they did a bait and switch for extending a day—said it would be $95 plus tax and then did it for $105 plus tax.

We stayed for one night and really enjoyed how close the hotel was to the beach — the location is perfect! The room was okay, nothing fancy but comfortable for a short stay. Breakfast was continental with limited options, and parking is a bit tight, but overall we had a pleasant experience and would consider staying again for the convenience and beach access.

There were some guests were having a physical argument / fight in the hallway by my room. The event was going on for quite a few hours and the staff did not step in to control the situation.

Paint didn’t match, door wasn’t

There was some people talking outside my window very late at night but they soon left I then notice a gas station outside my window. Not the Hotels fault. The room was very clean and the beds very comfortable. I enjoyed my stay.

The hotel ia old and can definitely use a much needed update. Customer service is the line front desk person - not too friendly. We had 2 queen beds in the room. The rollers on the bed frames cannot be locked so the bed moves. The.restroomwmell

There was no Parking for my car!! Had to drive around for

Was exactly what we needed for a quick trip.

All good

Always a comfy stay

I did like the decorative style.

Yes, you do get shops and restaurant close by the only positive thing I can say about it.

Very dirty. The surrounding area seemed scary.

Great staff, perfect for a quick stay

The Owners have nicely refurbished this old Long Beach motel. Still a few things to attend to. There was no clothes hanger bar, [empty brackets were there] so we had to lay our hang ups on the chair. The original tub/shower control was very hard to turn. Plenty of warm water on tap. 4 super fluffy pillows were nice. Bed ok.

Close to downtown

The coffee ran out The smell on the hallway very different not good smell But for the price for a night it’s ok

Comfy quiet

La experiencia fue mala porq la habitación olía a humedad

This place was not what they advertise in their hotels.com ad the rooms where not newly remodeled as stated parking was horrible we had to park off-site in the alley and our room had a big broken window that we didn't notice until later that night hotels.com really needs to do a onsite inspection of said property because it's not what was advertised even with proof of the broken window they want to say the rooms are remodeled and there was no issue stated onsite when in fact there was

This property smells so bad and the room smelled like cigarettes. I brought alcohol hospital grade wipes to clean the room and never slept in their sheets. So so dirty. It is a good location that’s the only thing it has going for itself. I feel because they’re in a good location they put no effort into making it nice

Property was 90f in the hallway and 100f in the rooms. Remove this place from your listings. No one is sleeping in a 100f room.

There were just a few concerns about the property. It wasn’t very clean (hair in the shower, loose screws on the floor, broken tiles, something on the shower curtain), the toilet wasn’t quite anchored to the floor and almost constantly made noise. However, it felt fairly safe and the AC worked well. The breakfast was ok, but not anything too exciting.

Right by the beach. Good location and price

I have pretty low standards for hotels and this one was absolutely disgusting. There were so many roaches in the room. On the walls, the floors, I even found one crawling on my pillow. The place looked clean and tidy but was completely infested. I stayed awake all night laying in the center of the bed watching for roaches. I booked 2 nights and only stayed 1. The property manager refused to refund the second unused night. Do not stay here. This is a fair warning.

Definitely a two star hotel. You get what you pay for

There were no fridge because I needed it for food that I could only have to eat. There were cockroaches in my room. It smelled like cigarette smoke and dog in the room. It smelled like dog urine in the bathroom. And there was screaming in the early morning down the hall. If you are going to have roaches and smells like cigarettes in your hotel, you shouldn't be charging more than $100 a night

The continental breakfast could’ve been better they had toast I feel like they could’ve had bagels they had toast in a container

The room was nice but there was rot in the tub and bathroom was super old. Surroundings were very questionable. Ended up not staying there as a single female.

the Front desk day guy was so rude! the floors were filthy it smelled horrible and it had bugs!

Hotel was decent for what you pay for. Close to everything Port of Long Beach & Aquarium Of the Pacific.

Nice staff, clean room, no fridge, some extras like shampoo, neighborhood was run down and felt unsafe, limited parking.

the property needs a facelift and could use some upgrades. It is in a good location and convenient to everything. The bathroom could use remodeling.

I wish I had better things to say about this hotel but unfortunately we saw several cockroaches in our room, the elevator and the and the hallway. The floor and furniture were dusty. We chose this hotel to be closer to the beach which was the only good thing about the hotel. I do not recommend this hotel.

The property worked for our needs and fit our budget. Although everything was well used, the rooms and property were clean. I did find a single cockroach in my room and one on the outside of my room door. Both of which I took care of. I did not see any other insects in my room.

Roache infestation!!! As soon as I went in there was roaches in the elevator and hallways! I open the door to my room and there a roach in the sink! I leave my room and come back when it’s dark and there’s tons of roaches crawling on the floor and bathroom when I turned on the lights! I want my money back!!!!

There was bed bugs and roaches

Bad bad very bad

There were roaches in the sink and in the room. The smoke detector was beeping, and the elevator signs were misleading.

Terrible decision to book the hotel never again.

Long Beach Inn/ Vagabond Inn as of 07/03/2025 has a cockroach infestation.

Isnt at all what the pictures look like. The pool isnt there. Its only been a non-smoking establishment for one year and still reaks of smoke. As a whole, its terrible.

My husband didnt look at reviews we should have, he just saw the 160 and it was better than the 200 and 300 feom anywhere else we saw. So, The outside looked bad, but sometimes it can be good inside so we proceeded, the elevador was small and scary, the hallway reminded us of one of those horror hotel games also saw a roach in the hallway, when we got to our room it was not as pictured. There was a Hole in the corner with some kind of animal hair stuck to it. Could be rats. Noticed roach poop on the windowsill. The sheets had red stains on it, my daughter said it looked like blood. The bathroom was gross. The walls were stuckko up, and there were holes in the floor and the outlits wernt properly covered. There was a dead roach waiting for us inside the doo. I took some pictures for proof, but wanted to hurry and get my family out ASAP so we left right away. The website is false advertising its not even the same building and rooms pictured. I saw another family as we were leaving, the mom said she also saw roaches and was worried but they were not able to turn around and leave they had no where else to go. It lookes like they let the homeless live there, its disgusting. They should be shut down. There are no words. The run down plus the clealiness its scary. Its not even worth a penny to stay there. I get it if its in the middle of no where but this is a tourist place, where families stay. This is NOT SAFE. This is unacceptable. They need to be shut down.

I got to the room a few hours early & they refused to give me a room

Nothing like the photos shown. Twice someone tried to enter the room without knocking. Traffic was super loud.

Worst stay but roaches and no toilet flushing & they had construction in the next room .my problem was the roaches & they have the nerve to give out free breakfast with a roach infestation . Im not the type to write a review but I had to on this case . & I didn’t say anything to front which was my fault on behalf.

The man checking us in is very rude. We asked for a room change because the AC did not work. Once we changed rooms it got worse, the TV didn’t work, there were holes on the wall, paint chipping, the worst part were the roaches. That was the last straw. We couldn’t stay the night, immediately asked for refund.

This was first rate all the way. Food, room, service, with friendly and helpful staff. Very happy we found this place.

They were very nice here

They need to remove the picture of the pool! That is one main reason I booked with this hotel. THEY DO NOT HAVE A POOL!!! It's just a larger parking lot. They did have a small breakfast offering, not much to choose from but better than Motel 6. The staff were friendly and helpful. It's a nice, decently priced hotel and for the location! Across the street from a liquor store and gas station. Minutes (by car, walking or scooter) away from Marina Green, and other beaches. Great variety of restaurants in the vicinity.

No parking available

Check in was bad and they told me the hotel was going to be closed and I had to check out a day early. After more conversation I was allowed to stay.

You get what you pay for. Not a great place but location was good and so was the price.

Conveniently located

The place was clean, but was average quality. The one ice machine on the first floor, which made it totally inconvenient from the 3rd, wasn’t working. Sheets and bedding were clean, but the bed itself was a one up on a sofa bed. Great water pressure!!! This place will serve its purpose if you’re just fine with a place to take a shower and get some sleep.

Everything was old and dirty. The TV was broken and the a/c didn't run continuously. Also they require a $100 cash only deposit when you stay.

Good

I would not stay here again.

The parking is not good

Stayed here 2 nights. Very very noisy. Kids running up and down the hallway with no concern for other people! The traffic on the blvd is ridiculous.

It was a fine stay for the price and close to everything. My problem was sooooo much street noise and it sounded like someone was playing a soft bass most of the night.

This property is not Handicapped accessible. They had the side door HANDICAPPED ENTERANCE to the lobby LOCKED and would not open it seeing I was in a wheelchair. I am hard of hearing DEAF and the manager HABIB came yelling at me at check out time I WAS HAVING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY and he would not call 911. The ELEVATOR SLAMMED on my HAND trying to get into the elevator. Too bad I used to stay here for years when I would go to Catalina Island. I will find another hotel in the future.

AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL

The staff was excellent.

Good

Good

N/a

Good location but you have to pay a $100 cash deposit and wait until house keeping gives the thumbs up to get your money back. I have a view of the alley where homeless people talked loudly all night.

It was scary, and the roof leaked on the bed all night

The whole thing was just nasty. We got into our first apartment and the whole thing smelt of smoke and just felt musky which is funny because the one rule they have is to not smoke in the rooms. They moved us into a third floor room which we thought would be an upgrade but we were shocked to find the opposite. The bed was rock hard and the bed cover had a huge stain that looked like a piss stain. The blanket inside the cover had many cigarette burns and the sheets were coarse and rough. The tv was about 20 years old and the room lacked the common things found in normal rooms like a fridge, microwave, and even a safe. It was the bare minimum of everything and the shower was tough to figure out since they switched the cold and hot tubes so hot was cold and cold was hot. Just a terrible experience and woul never stay here again

They had NOTHING at the hotel that was advertised! No pool no breakfast no coffee absolutely NOTHING!! Will NOT STAY OR RECOMMEND THIS PLACE EVER! Stay away from thaw false advertising!!

😎

Bed not great

They were given directions, asked specifically to let my girlfriend into the room with identification. Nobody relayed the message, my girlfriend had to sit outside all night and part of the day. When we confronted them about the issue and details left behind, they just avoided the conversation and said don’t come back.

Our reservation was booked via Expedia. However, the hotel charged on my credit card as well. You need to keep your eye on credit card invoice if you stay this hotel

Hotel is outdated and dirty. you can hear everyone when they come to your floor. Elevate is really small. Staff barely speaks English and lobby smells bad.if your looking for cheap? you get what you pay for.

Good place to stay in Long Beach near the ocean.

So outdated and dirty could not sleep mold in windows just gross!!

TV didn't work.

Walls, bathroom dirty chipped. Very low quality. Close to roscoes.

I shouldn’t complain too much cuz it was only 10 minute walk to dntwn area where the Indy Grand Prix was @. For $200 ave/night it seemed like a lot for place was just there. Dings & wall patches(lots)in walls, different grout colors in same area, a cigarette burn in bedspread, thin(but clean) small towels, loud creaking squeaking doors & bed springs, the thinnest walls I’ve ever seen(those last 2 make for an interesting combo lol), & not a single picture or decoration in room. But the owner was nice, the sheets & towels were clean & smelled fine, the Wi-Fi worked great, & we had a close place to stay when booking only a week before event…so given the same conditions I would do it again. I would not if not pressed for time & the need to be close to dntwn. I’m also guessing the price wud be more reflective of the property if there wasn’t a 150k person event eating up the rooms in the area(supply & demand … remember Econ 101? - fair is fair.) Also strange or @ least new to me was the request for a $100cash damage deposit to be returned after inspection @ checkout. He ran my visa at checkin. The inspection was fast w/ a phn call to housecleaning, but now I will need to follow it up to make sure I receive the credit back to my card. I asked if I get a credit for cleaning a quarter size spot on the bedspread (by soaking w/h2o which erased it completely); but he didn’t think it was as funny as I did. I think the owner means well, it’s just tough to run a self owned biz these days.

Very nice place to rest Agura Grandprix nights =)

Nice origami

Great service. Hotel is a little older but clean and the staff was friendly and accommodating. 2 blocks from the grand prix

not very clean, not modern, needs heavy update, dirty, manager or owner has his hand out all the time, had to pay 60 extra to check in early, 2 hrs and be able to park my car, then day of check out at 11 could not leave the car there until 3pm unless 20 pay him to leave it. pictures not of some of the property, shows you nice pictures but you get there and its not so nice. I would stay away.

We stay here for a big event...Long Beach Grand Prix, so the price is within our budget. The owner of the hotel is nice, but does a lot of steps to check us in....guessing "old-fashioned". Will stay here again due to the excellent price.

Customer service was horrible. And the room was unkempt. Not worth the price.

It says that the breakfast is continential. But still too simple. The is NO swimming pool. The parking lot picture should be updated. The price is OK in the area. The sound between the room was not good.

Ok

They do not have free breakfast and that’s the only reason why i wanted to stay here

stench in room was terrible. There are other affordable hotels in long beach that are much cleaner.

I appreciate the service given by Habib, the manager. Very professional and kind!

Very quiet

Orbitz said: Breakfast is included. There was no breakfast offered. The bathroom needs updating. Otherwise, the room was clean and large size. The receptionists accommodated all my requests.

I had reserved an ADA accessible room but they did not furnish one nor did Travelocity do anything at all to fix the mistake. The property manager didn’t not care at all to address my concerns at all. The room was filthy and the tub had to railing or safety mat at all. It was dangerous. Very displeased with this property and how we were treated.

It was convenient to down town Long Beach

Good price for a one night. Somebody above me was making a lot of noise on the floor. Manager would not take my credit card for security bond.

It was insanely loud, walls and ceiling super thin and there was no smoke detector in the room

Stay was good, breakfast was meh....

Friendly Staff, great location

Just a place to stay. No microwave no refrigerator. Heat and AC worked well. Its in an old building so the decore is not very modern. Beds were comfortable but the pillows were too soft, felt like we didn't have a pillow.

Don't count on breakfast. there is so much noise you cant sleep. we turned on the air for white noise. although the condition of the walls, sink, etc was bad they were at least clean. altogether it was ok.

The hotel was okay if you just looking for a cheap place to stay. There was definitely a couple complaints I have but it was a relaxing stay. The other guest were quiet. It was windy and the windows were sorta loose so it sounded like someone was banging on the window all night. The toilet was oddly close to the bathroom counter so much so that it made it hard to do your. The “ breakfast” consisted of some stale mini cinnamon rolls, plain cereal, toast, and some water down juice. But like I said it’s a cheap hotel we weren’t expecting much. It was a nice stay other than the things I mentioned. Staff was nice and when we needed housekeeping they came in the matter of minutes. We would stay here again but remember when booking that your get what you pay for.

Checking in was great and late check. Out. Thanks

Clean and comfortable. Basic, sparse furnishings but quiet and friendly. Good location for downtown, harbor and restaurants.

What I like was it's close to the Shoreline. Hotel is old, need some print, and a refrigerator, microwave in each room. Too noisy, all night, and more parking.

Only thing was there was no fridge or microwave in the room,although I had requested it during my booking,(I needed it to store my insulin). When I got there they wanted to charge $10 extra for it. Overall it was a nice hotel.

Front desk experience awesome
