Romantic accommodation in Downtown Sacramento

I booked a stay at the Vagabond last year because there was a concert and nothing else was available. I was surprised - it was an updated room that was clean with friendly staff. The breakfast was good too. So I rebooked this year for a conference. I arrived. I waited in the lobby for about 10 minutes before any staff came in to check me in. I was given a room that might have been cleaned. I noticed shoe marks on the on the floor in the bathroom, some "cream" on the shower walls, and everything in the room was dated - including the chipped counter tops in the bathroom. The entire property is being renovated. Most of the rooms are being gutted. Drywall dust is everywhere. There was construction equipment outside of my room. Waking up on Sunday morning to the sound of electrical saws and hanmers was a bonus feature not listed on the Expedia website. You could definitely charge more. The included breakfast was a bagel. They may have had bread. I don't remember seeing a toaster. There was coffee. Hot water for tea. Nothing else was available. No cereal, fruit, milk, juice...nothing. The highlight of the stay in the Vagabond was a plate of cookies in the reception area and I happily took a handful. I hope they are able to sell the location and someone else takes over and improves the facility. The site location is amazing and it's really disappointing that we don't have more options in Sacramento that close to Old Town.

This property has trash everywhere. Homeless people are walking around on property while security is on grounds. The bathroom smells like mold. Carpet is filthy. Cracks are in the hotels room walls. People can be heard fighting all hours of the night and the staff is not welcoming.

Stayed here due to the proximity to our wedding ceremony location and the staff is friendly, helpful & the hotel has wonderful amenities.

Parking was pretty easy!

It was an interesting stay. It is a convenient location and the area very walkable. Walked to Old Town and to see an Athletics baseball game. So it worked for that. Parking was difficult on the first day so I parked at the parking facility next door. Spots opened up on the second day and was able to park on the property. Carpet was particularly worn. We were on second floor and police knocked on the door at 1 AM to ask questions about someone who apparently died outside on the edge of property. Breakfast was barely adequate. Overall it worked but……

Did not do breakfast parking was safe and easy.
