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.
