Categories

Cleanliness
7.5
Generally praised as clean in multiple reviews ("Cleanliness was wonderful", "Very clean", "room was clean"), but several negative reports (stale/musty smell, hair in the shower, lumpy mattress, soft spot on the floor) reduce the score.
Service
8.8
Staff frequently described as polite, friendly and helpful (multiple mentions: "amazingly polite", "reception staff friendly and helpful", praise for specific staff), though a few reviews call staff rude or cite slow deposit refunds and repeated front-desk trips. Overall service is a relative strength.
Location
9.2
Location is repeatedly highlighted as excellent/ideal ("Amazing location", next to gallery/shopping center, easy walk to the Galleria, great spot), making this one of the hotel's strongest attributes.
Room Quality
7
Mixed room quality: positives include comfortable beds and available fridge/microwave, but there are consistent negatives (small/dark rooms, privacy issues from glass wall, noise from bed frame, difficulty regulating temperature, humid/stale smells, pool on parking area).
Amenities
7.5
Basic amenities available (fridge, microwave, coffee, shampoo/conditioner), but limited in-room options (no tea-making facilities), pay parking, pool location unattractive, and keycard reliability issues reduce the score.
Value for Money
7
Several guests mention paying extra for parking and feeling the hotel is not worth the price in some cases; deposit handling issues and limited in-room amenities contribute to a below-target value perception.
Food and Beverage
8
Sparsely mentioned: coffee machine described as OK; no consistent food service feedback. Assigned neutral/target rating due to limited mentions.
Overall Experience
9
Despite some issues (smells, parking, occasional rude staff, room shortcomings), many guests recommend or would return, praising cleanliness, friendly staff, and the excellent location—leading to a generally positive overall impression.

Clean, polite, amazing location, you get what you pay for.
Pros:

Cleanliness was wonderful, the best was a little lumpy. The staff was amazingly polite and so friendly. Three floors tall, thank god I was on the first floor as there is no elevator. Amazing amazing location.

Cons:

There was a soft spot on the floor which was weird and creepy. There were no elevators for three floors. There is a huge window in the front of your room which on the ground floor was a little scary.

The stale, musty smell made my stay very uncomfortable.
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

The house has a stale, musty smell that made me uncomfortable as soon as I walked in. The longer I stayed, the more it irritated my sinuses.

Pros:

Very disappointing experience. Every time I stay at Vagabond, they fail to return my deposit unless I call, text, or visit them again after checkout. I have to chase them every single time to get my own money back. This is unprofessional and unacceptable. This was my last stay here. I do not recommend this hotel.

Good location
Pros:

It was clean and spacious. Location was great with shopping center and restaurants nearby and easy trip to wedding venue. Staff were helpful and friendly

Cons:

Bed was very soft and uncomfortable. Coffee, shampoo, conditioner and soap available but no other amenities. Tea was available at reception but no way to make a cup of tea in the room. Asked for toothbrush at front desk and they wanted $6 for a disposable toothbrush - ridiculous!
