The Vagabond Inn is not the fanciest place to stay in Whittier but offers solid motel-style amenities at a fair price: fridge, microwave, wi-fi, tv, comfortable bed, attractive decor, clean room and bath, hospitable and responsive staff. On the usual downside: lackluster "continental" breakfast, noisy air unit. Overall, no complaints (well, maybe the gross old boots that sat on the... More

We must have been given a room that was in the process of renovation. (Room 306). The room was very musty when we arrived, but we just opened the (what seemed to be new) window and turned on the pleasantly quiet air conditioning. The smell dissipated fairly quickly. The light on the phone was blinking upon arrival (we expected the... More

Really, at this price point, it is better than would be expected. Recently updated rooms and clean, which is my most important criteria. Only complaint would be that the nice man at the front desk had no clue as to the area. The only places he knew to eat at were Polly's (which despite being obviously closed due to a... More

Basic chain motel...clean, but with awful continental breakfast. Coffee in room, free wifi, etc. I'd stay again, just because it's cheap. Relatively quiet despite being on major street. Try to get a room on top floor and away from elevator to avoid being disturbed by late night arrivals.

I have stayed here several times over the years. Continues to be a good priced room, clean, safe parking lot. This is right on Whittier Blvd -- very easy to get to many things. Rooms for two people are a little small -- but furniture is nice, bathroom/shower is nice -- just a real good place to stay.
