Vagabond Inn Hemet

Horrible! We had made reservations online for two nights about two weeks prior to our trip. We were about two hours away from the motel and called because it was almost midnight. The front desk clerk told us that we did not have a reservation because it was cancelled. My husband ask why and she explained that the credit card failed to go through at the time we made the online reservations. My husband asked why the motel did not call us. The clerk said that we would have received an email about the cancellation. My husband asked if there were any rooms still available. She said no. My husband again asked why we had not been called, and the clerk hung up on us. We called another motel and were able to reserve the last room available. The next week, we reviewed our credit card bill and found that the Vagabond charged us for two nights. The Vagabond did refund one night, but not the second night. We called the motel and the same front desk clerk informed us that the entire amount should have been refunded. She was either unable to understand the situation or she was unwilling to help us. What a nightmare this has been!

This place is decent at best when it comes to hotels. However, for a 1 star hotel it is super clean, the tv is nice, the staff is friendly and breakfast is ok. We just needed to a decent priced hotel and this fit the bill. We would definitely stay here again.

My boyfriend and me were stranded in Hemet for about a week while his car was being repaired and we stayed at Vagabond Inn and it was delightful. The rooms were adorable and came with a fridge and microwave and the maid service was excellent. But the best part of our stay was the wonderful management, the free wifi and the delicious breakfast that was served each morning which included waffles, cold cereal, and cappuccino; and on the weekends they served biscuits and gravy. The cost per day for two people averaged $ 55 per day which was cheaper then all the other motels in the area which were much to be desired. Very impressed overall and will definitely be staying here again if we are ever in the area.

My wife called before arrival and were assured over the phone that they had cribs available for our son. They lied — they do NOT have cribs available forcing her to try and figure out a safe way for him to sleep, adding stress to an already stressful trip of her first trip alone with him. What kind of place lies about their accommodations where safety is a concern to get business? Repulsive and reprehensible. Do not give this place your business.

I stayed here during my last visit to Hemet few days back. I got an excellent deal on internet. Although I saw some bad reviews I took a chance and stayed here. I was utterly surprised to discover the vagabond inn was a nice cute motel with LARGE newly renewed rooms that were pretty well furnished and maintained and very very clean. The manager there Swati is a very sweet friendly young lady who took time out to explain what all was in and around Hemet. She told me many tourists arrive here, the ones who want to visit Big bear /​lake arrowhead but didn’t want to pay too much room rent. Big b is only an hour away from here. Anyway I had two nights of excellent stay and slept deep deep deep! The hotel was noiseless and rooms clean. huge flat TV and comfortable bathrooms. Ac worked well and the linen were clean. The room smelled GOOD. Also they have huge supplies of shampoo and liquid soap in machines near sink and in the tub. Another plus.
All in all it was such a nice experience that I didn’t feel like going back to my city Lancaster. Anyways I’ll be coming back soon!

Found this place on
great deal. Rooms were very clean love the fact they have Direct TV. Quite night sleep. I would stay there again. Thanks for a room that smelled good and was clean.

3 of my friends and I stayed here during Coachella 2015 weekend 1. We found this place through
.
We were desperate for a place to stay and the price of this Inn seemed reasonable. Despite the hour and half drive for 3 days from Indio to Hemet, it was great to know that we had a decent place to sleep and shower.
The bed was big enough for all 4 of us to sleep sideways. Showers were clean and water was working just fine. Only thing is that there’s no vent in the bathroom, so if you’re taking a hot shower or taking a crap, open up that window in there lol. The bathroom window was a little dirty and broken. Wooden floors, no carpet. The A/​C worked just fined, especially after a full day at Coachella. Made us sleep-​in a little because it just felt so good sleeping with nice, cold A/​C. Nice 40-​in. flat screen TV with Directv. Also, there’s free WiFi! Can’t go wrong with that.
Staff was nice and a friendly Indian family.
A lot of places to eat, gas stations, and there’s a Walmart Supercenter close by!
Besides the hour and half drive from Indio to Hemet, overall this place is nice and quiet. I had a great experience here! Would I stay here again? Maybe. If nothing close to Indio is available.

Yuck this place is gross. dirty and creepy. Bad place to stay with your family… Or a single woman. idont know if this is the bad part of town…

The accommodations at this inn are what you would expect at an inexpensive motel, very basic and minimal. The bathtub and shower were very run down and the hot water was not always consistent. The furniture was in average condition. The tv and mini fridge in the room were a plus. Sheets and towels appeared clean. The fire detector in our room started beeping, I assume because the battery was low, at 5AM which was an annoyance.
The reason I am giving a two star review is not because of the condition of the room, it is due to the service. Upon check-​in we were told that we booked a smoking room, which was not the case. My husband showed the woman who was helping us a print out of our
reservation. The print out clearly showed that we booked a standard, non-​smoking room. There was a picture of the universal symbol for «no smoking» (a red circle with a slash over a picture of a lit cigarette) rather than the words «non-​smoking» on our reservation. The woman insisted that this «no smoking» symbol meant we booked a smoking room. After treating us very rudely she reluctantly gave us the non-​smoking room. I have never been treated so poorly at hotel check in, it was a real turn off.
I am sorry to say that we will never be staying at this hotel again, nor would we ever recommend it to any of our friends.

This place has to be hands down the most disgusting ‘hotel’ I’ve almost stayed at… I say almost because I could not stand the room long enough to sleep in it. Let me name each amenity:
Unidentifiable stains ALL over the duvet
Murky water in a clogged sink
Moldy towels
Carpet mysteriously removed in one corner of the room
GROSS! I didn’t bring my hazmat suit so I couldn’t stay! The worse part — the manager refused to refund my money.
Take my advice: Save yourself a few bucks and just sleep in your car

This was the worse experience at a hotel/​motel I’ve ever encountered .We (me and three friends) decided to stop by and pay a visit to a friend that we hadn’t seen in awhile and did know that he had been ill, so we stopped by the Vagabond and was told that they couldn’t have visiters and was asked to leave the property. I had never heard of a hotel/​motel the didn’t allow visiters and the scroungy looking guy that told us to leave was an reflection on the overall condition of the Vagabond based on other reviews posted, since you can’t give a quarter star it gets nothing
ps I had to give it at least one star to save and post

This place has to be rated based on what I paid and what I got.
5 star just for the price
2 on cleanliness, after staying here I need to get a check up.
4 They have a nice flat screen TV and microwave with mini fridge
3 A nice continental breakfast
To sum it up its not a bad choice if you just need a place that has all you need cheap.

The Vagabond is your typical seedy motel– clean enough, convenient enough, whatever. For that price I wasn’t expecting a fantastic place. I was even resigned to the guy with a hooker next door (paper-​thin walls, btw). But the guy running the place (the night office, at least) was ri-​DIC-​ulous. The night office was absolutely crawling with bugs. Flying ants, mosquitos, little gray crunchy bugs with white spots, etc. They were literally everywhere– couldn’t step w/​o crushing them, counter was covered (don’t put your purse down), and I left that room w 3 in my hair (shudder!!). BTW, checked for bed bugs in our room & it was clean.
But back to the customer service– we booked using priceline, but when we got there the guy acted like he (or maybe didn’t) hear/​understand. We were in that hot, buggy room for 26 minutes trying to check in. I still don’t know if he charged our card again, since he didn’t care that we booked on priceline, and we couldn’t hear a word he said behind the thick glass w no speaker. He had a bit of an accent, but whatever– it was less that & more that he was slurring. Or maybe he wasn’t, and we just couldn’t hear through the glass… Anyway, it was awful, and he was the least helpful person ever. I would have preferred the «Comput
