The staff was so friendly and nice. The property is older and needs a little love. The only breakfast choices was cereal and waffles, it would be nice to have 1 or 2 more choices like maybe yogurt or oatmeal.

Excellent and Attentive Service

The staff at this property has done a great job at establishing a culture of service. From the moment I checked in all the way up until my slightly late checkout, the office staff, the housekeeping staff and the food service staff were gracious and worked to meet every request I made. In addition, the room was clean and in good repair. Finally, the breakfast buffet was kept well-stocked and very clean. I was impressed by this Vagabond and I plan to return whenever I need a room in the area.

Front desk staff was very friendly and accommodating! Loved that they don’t take an incidental fee as well! Only downside was that the room smelled like cigarette, the continental breakfast only consisted of Tampico oj, coffee, and waffles. Also, the pool looked like a clogged toilet. The pool water was brown and filthy! Most likely will not be returning again. 3/10
