Vagabond Inn Exec Pasadena, Pasadena

This was our 3rd time staying here. Essentially, we stayed here because the location and the price were good. However, as usual, the air conditioners are terrible here. They run for a short time and then they turn themselves off. Efforts to adjust them are of no avail. The HBO has had to be re-set almost daily. The carpeting in the hallways could use a cleaning or replacement. Many times when you call the front desk there is no one there. When I made my reservations, they conveniently neglected to inform me that they would be working on the roof during the week time period we were their. At approx. 8 a.m. the banging started. Management said it was ONLY for two days. We checked out early and went to the Ramada down the street and was even less expensive AND the air conditioning and HBO worked! Dom Leos

We stayed this past week (thankfully after the New Years craze) and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We were informed by the friendly staff that they had just gone through an extensive remodeling job and I could see that everything was to me and my family's liking! The lobby was clean and though connected to the area where you eat your breakfast, it had an air of professionalism yet still maintained a friendly atmosphere throughout. The maids were a little slow but we had our new towels in a timely manner so overall it was ok. The flat-screen TV was cool and I could smell the fresh paint. The pool was heated (it sucks to not have a jacuzzi though) and overall we enjoyed our stay. We will be back!

We were relocating and needed to find an hotel in the L.A. area during our trip. We have an 80 pound well behaved Labradoodle and kept running into weight limits for pets. Checked the AAA book on "Traveling with Pets" and found the Vagabond Inn Pasadena. $10.00 fee and no problem. Hotel was under reconstruction and the hallways were a bit dirty but not the rooms. Very nice and an excellent/friendly and attentive staff. Great location. Would definately stay there again.
