The water doesn't run in shower. Water coming from top and bottom. Very dirty everywhere we looked. Had to remove night stand and it was very filthy. Homeless and drug addicts walk through the property. As soon as I parked and got off my car there was throw up on the floor. The trash cans were full and the kind of people staying at hotel (more like a motel) were not decent looking. I regret not paying a little more to stay at a good place but I got mislead by the nice looking pictures they show on line. Nothing like it! Save your noney go somewhere else. The only good thing was the manager's attitude. Indian guy in probably his late 50's.

I work in housekeeping in Vegas, so I got there and started checking. Sheets were not changed on both beds, bath tub had hair, the floor had dirt. Had to ask for sheets to change them myself.

This had to be one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed at. You get what you pay for I guess. The room was non smoking but smelled HORRIFICALLY like smoke. I had to air out the room with the AC on and the door open. I noticed an ant infestation in my room on the bathroom counter, coming out of the broken cracks in the wall. I went to the desk and asked them to spray but the problem continued, and I also discovered other bugs crawling over my bed. The sheets were not clean, and had yellow stains. The bedding below the sheets was so shredded it wouldn’t even stay on the bed. There was a phone in the room but it had NO CORD and was covered in some red and purple sticky substance. The walls were filthy and looked like they just painted over all of the issues. Do not stay here, it is not worth the cheap rate. I have submitted a claim with Expedia for a refund and will update my review as that happens.

Meh. BUt what do you expect?
Was going to a musoc gig at the observatory with my wife so we stayed a couple nights. Checking in was a breeze and only a 50$ deposit either cash or card. Room was pretty beat up tiny table with a broken ass chair and smelt like cigs and burn marks on the toilet. Bed mayress was springy as hell but we were expecting all that at a vagabond. Sketchy lookin tweekers yelling at all hours of the night. But whatever. We just got drunk and played some tunes in our room. The pool was nice.

Worst hotel
We only checked in to leave our bags, attend the oc fair and when we came back no one wanted to stay due to roaches and ants in the rooms. It was so dirty looks like they were in a rush to clean the room. We checked out that same night and left to another hotel.

It's still a good property for the price. Cleaning staff does its job not enough. Also strong smell can bother you a lot. Pool area is good but start working later morning. So, you cannot refresh you from the morning. BUT Reception staff is very helpful. We appreciated her for the great assistance. Thank you

The outside was clean and decent but the rooms were not. I had my own pillows and blankets thank god. The pillows were stained,The floor was extremely dirty but you get what you pay for and unfortunately they need to work on cleaning and updating the property. The people who worked there were really nice at least.
