Loved the Vagabond!
Pros:

The Vagabond Hotel was amazing! The room my friend and I shared was spacious and clean. The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. Although there is no restaurant on premise, we received an extensive list of restaurants within walking distance from the hotel. The Vagabond is situated in the MiMo section of Miami - which is the perfect place to retreat from the hustle and bustle of the downtown area. I highly recommend the Vagabond; it was fantastic.

A Great Escape to this Historic Gem!
Pros:

Cute clean rooms, great service, Beautiful pool area (with lively but chill music), fun neighborhood (but inconveniently located for hot spots). Pool bar was closed which was disappointing. If pool bar was open would five 5 stars. Hope it and restaurant bounce back because otherwise it’s a fabulous place!

Hidden Gem! We love this lovely, well maintained old Florida Icon! The management and staff are excellent. Very clean!
Pros:

This hidden gem is located in a great spot within walking distance to quite a few restaurants. The motel will surprise you with its special touches. Like robes, which you would not expect from a motel. Lovely staff, well maintained rooms and it is extremely clean. The pool area is serene with nice lounges and beautiful well maintained landscaping. Great place!

Consistently Excellent Stay
Pros:

I've stayed at Vagabond Hotel multiple times, and it remains one of my favorite places in Miami. Recently stayed again and had another great experience.

The room was clean, comfortable, and well designed. The location is very convenient, and the staff is consistently friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The grounds are beautiful, and the retro, mid-century vibe gives the hotel so much character and charm.

It’s a relaxing, stylish place that always feels special. We’ve had nothing but positive experiences here and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommended.

Authentic Retro Miami at an Unbeatable Price
Pros:

The Vagabond is my secret go-to spot with 5-minute access to the beaches, fantastic, clean, renovated rooms, a quirky, retro vibe, and super friendly staff that treats me like family. The pool area is fantastic – well-maintained, great for cooling off after a beach day, and has that vintage Florida motel charm that’s impossible not to love. If you’re looking for authentic Miami vibes, great value, and a place that feels like a home away from home, book the Vagabond. Just… maybe don’t tell too many people. 😉​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Nice, clean, well maintained
Pros:

Was recommended by a friend that had stayed there whose son lives nearby so they'd stayed there a lot. It's a classic 1960s motel, complete with retro signage. Rooms and property all updated and modern.
