When we head north or south on I 5, we usually choose to make a short side trip off the freeway to Los Banos. Los Banos is typical small town USA, suffering economically a bit, but still a charming little place. This hotel is an excellent choice. The rooms are clean and spacious, the pool and jacuzzi attractive and well... More

We've stayed here frequently over the last couple years on our way to the coast. We learned they had jacuzzi rooms so decided to make this our destination this trip. We spent a couple days exploring the San Luis NWR. And had a great and relaxing time and didn't break the bank! They did upgrade the TV system which is... More

Staying at the Vagabond-Inn Executive in Los Banos was the best choice we could have made. Danielle provided excellent customer service to our staff and students. The hotel was clean and the check-in process was quick and organized.

This is a solid mid grade hotel, a big step up from budget, and a really nice property. It is definitely worth the (less than 10-minute) drive off highway 5 to save $30 compared to the Santa Nella options which are not as nice. Check-in was friendly and efficient. The room was very clean, no bugs or weird smells, and... More

Upgraded on arrival. Reservation requested quiet room, but was in room overlooking adjoining business with trash bin noise evening, and Trash Truck next morning. Mattress had major slope to it, and at Check Out, Luci, the Gen Mgr, had no comment when I mentioned it. Recent Auto break-in put guests on edge. Clean, but very Average lodging.

We usually stay at the Best Western when bird watching in the area, but decided to give Vagabond Inn a try. Danielle on the phone and at the front desk was very cheerful and made the last-minute reservation easy. In the room we realized there was a little problem and Danielle immediately took care of moving us to another room.... More

We were traveling back to Washington state after sending the holidays in SoCal. We needed reasonably priced, pet friendly lodging and the Vagabond Inn Exec in Los Banos fit our needs. We were pleasantly surprised to find the hotel to be much nicer than we were expecting. We did have two issues that were addressed by the hotel staff to... More

The indoor pool was so nice for the kids after a long car ride. The weather is a big problem in the winter stopping off the 5, having that lovely pool and spa made our day. The rooms were clean and they had free movies up front for the kids to rent and make your own waffles in the morning.... More

What a pleasant surprise. Friendly staff, clean room and bathroom with nice linens, a safe and well lit parking lot -- we felt safe getting stuff out of the car in the middle of the night -- and next door to a very good and reasonably priced Italian restaurant full of locals -- always a good sign. There's a clean... More
