Pros:

Hotel con struttura in stile anni '50 ben conservata. Camere pulite, spaziose ed arredate in stile. Punto forte la piscina immersa nel verde intorno alle camere. Peccato solo per il bar della piscina che abbiamo trovato chiuso.

Cute, clean, spectacular service.
Pros:

Love the retro vibe. Room was well appointed and clean. Staff were all polite. Lots of spots to eat nearby, and front desk staff had great suggestions for things to do in the area. A little noise from the pool area but overall a quiet stay. This property feels like a private oasis.

Just WOW!
Pros:

The Original Historically Renowned Rat Pack Hangout in Miami!

We've stayed at The Vagabond Motel pre-cruise the past 2 years. What a find this was! And, it's close to both the airport , cruise port, and many restaurants within walking distance. The rooms are fabulous, fun & very retro if you like that vibe! The pool is huge & the entire property is beautiful and immaculate.
The property was originally a popular hangout for the Rat Pack (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr.) in the 50's & the remodel mirrors this era in a fun, relaxing, retro vibe.
The Vagabond Motel was added to the National Register of Historical Places in 2014. A placard is prominently displayed near the front of the Motel with a brief history of its architectural style and relevancy in Miami's evolving deterioration and rebuilding of the MiMo area through community support.

I really liked it there. Not sure about location but the pool was nice and the room was great.
Pros:

My shower was brilliant. The reception staff were so nice and friendly. Room was big , clean, comfortable, lots of channels and a dehumidifier. Nice touch

Cons:

Pool bar was beautiful and so sad it wasn’t open?! That would have been a real sweet place to hang out. Coffee should have had real cream or half&half and possibly a non dairy creamer instead of powdered creamer.

Excellent stays at the Vagabond Motel
Pros:

We have stayed many times at the Vagabond Motel over the years visiting our daughter and grandson in Miami. Many of our family have also had excellent stays at different times at the Vagabond. The pool is clean and lovely with comfortable lounge chairs around and beach towels provided. The rooms are quiet and airy, and the decor is beautiful. The staff are always very friendly and helpful; highly recommended. Excellent restaurants and a great bakery are just a few steps away.
