Good stay by SFO

The hotel was in a good location and the shuttle to and from the airport was very convenient. The room was clean and I really appreciated the attention to detail from the housekeeping staff—especially how they folded the toilet paper and towels into beautiful fan shapes. It was such a thoughtful and elegant touch that made the room feel extra special! It could get a tad bit loud at times throughout the night, but they provided ear plugs.

We had the best person at the front desk. We were traveling with our daughter who was staying in a separate room. The woman made sure we had adjoining rooms without us even asking. She was very nice, she also pointed out the schedule for the shuttle to the airport. The hotel is older, but has character and is situated in a great location. It has a great feel about it. In the morning I shared the elevator with a pilot, so you know if folks from the airlines are staying there it’s a fine establishment. Overall we had a great time. We would stay again.

We loved the view behind the Vagabond Inn—watching planes land was surprisingly peaceful! The coffee machine was solid, and the shuttle was convenient (though be ready to get squished—it serves multiple hotels and seatbelts weren’t an option). We didn’t get room service, but we found the laundry room and scored some fresh towels. That was about it for amenities. There were some dead bugs, patched-up walls, and you could see daylight through the door. The “occupied” sign kept falling off, which felt metaphorical. A hot breakfast was advertised, but nope. We had to buy overpriced microwave meals from the snack bar (more expensive than airport food), and when we asked for utensils, we were told to buy more food. So yeah—utensils are rare treasure here. We walked 45 minutes to the nearest grocery store. The fridge and microwave worked (freezer was too frosty), and the heater was loud but effective. Thankfully, earplugs were provided since the walls were thin and we were next to the lot. We were charged $20/night for my husband’s service dog, but the room was never cleaned. We were gone from 12–5 daily, so time wasn’t the issue. Front desk was phone-absorbed, but the laundry staff was kind and helpful. Grateful for the view and earplugs, but we’ll pass next time.

Great spot near the water. My stay was excellent!

After a long bit of traveling and being around a lot of people, I wanted some solitude. It was a plus to be near the water. I didn't need much and this was just right. I had a ride to SFO in the morning. There was free coffee. The room looked and smelled clean. I enjoyed having a place to walk while the sun went down and when it came up again the next day.

If you just want to stay for sleep, they are excellent place. The hotel just cross from the airport. So you will hear airplane sound late night to early morning.

This is a place to stay the night. You can hear everything going on outside your room. Luckily they provide ear plugs. They do have a free shuttle to the airport, so that was a plus.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the place itself. In fact, you get a good stay for a low price. However, I quickly learned why it's so cheap; the airport is right across the bay. I heard the planes taking off all night. This is not the hotel's fault at all, it's just something to be aware of.

It’s quite an old motel and would greatly benefit from some updating including double glazing. But it was very clean and comfortable and the staff are helpful and pleasant.
