We loved the Vagabond! Nicely renovated, our room was in the rear against the mountains--a nice view and no traffic noise! Highly recommended!

The floors need to be swept or mopped…. More than just vacuumed. There was a lot of sandy-like dirt and dust on the floor that the vacuuming is not picking up…. so if you walk around barefoot in the room, your feet got very dirty. Also, our toilet had to be plunged as the poop was not going down after 7 flushes. The beds and linens, TV, coffee maker, lighting, air conditioning, door locks, pool and jacuzzi were all great. The women’s toilet area by the pool needs to be recaulked at the baseboards…. The baseboards were totally separated from the wall.

The room was very simple but super clean; the sink and ceiling in dressing area need to be updated. Price was acceptable but not great considering it is a motel. It fit the need for one night though.

Properties fairly large and has a very nice pool that people use and enjoy. However, the rooms have carpet on the floors which are pretty gross and the first night when I climbed into bed the spider was under my pillow… Overall, . Not the best place to stay, but if you’re on a budget in Palm Springs, it’s probably OK

This is not a hotel. It is more like a skeletal Motel 6. I had no idea it was so rudimentary. When I arrived the reception was closed. I returned later and the woman at the reception told me she had 'to take lunch, it is the law'. Consistent with the entire thing being too rudimentary!

The property is very old and needs a make over. The rug in the room is spotted with stains dirty and the room smells musky. It needs to be aired out. The toilet and sink in the bathroom are for children not adults and to make the stay worse the TV didn’t work. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
