Vagabond Inn Bishop

For 150/night, the room was not good. A/C didn’t work like it should have. Room was stuffy the whole time. The the cleanliness was not good. There were ants all over the place. In the microwave, fridge and towels. The manager told us it was ant season and there was nothing they could do. He gave us some ant bait stuff to put down. It worked but brought out even more ants. They need to exterminate. We ended up cutting our vacay to that area

The Vagabond Inn is one of the many motels on the main drag through Bishop. The best thing about the inn was that the rooms are located far enough from the road that road noise was not an issue. Otherwise, this place is a typical older motel. It has been somewhat updated. The breakfast was premade everything including waffles that could be reheated in a toaster. We had a room issue upon check in and I had to go back to reception to deal with it. Christian was such a big help - he went above and beyond assisting us with the room issue. He made a great impression as a representative of this inn. Actually, all of the staff seemed to very friendly and helpful. The staff is the best asset of the inn.

I stayed here for the first time recently on a friend's recommendation and I was happy with my experience. The location was fairly convenient, though it's way on the north end of town and about a 20-minute walk to dining spots near the center of town. My room was good-sized, with large windows. There was a desk counter with chair plus a comfy chair in the room, and the TV was large, with a good channel selection. There was a separate vanity from the bathroom area (shower only, which was fine for me), plus a mini-fridge (though it didn't include a freezer compartment), microwave, coffeemaker, iron and board, and hairdryer. The bed was comfortable for me - not too soft. The weather was warm enough for me to use the A/C, which was quiet though not that effective - I had to open the window and door in the evening to cool off the room. Like a number of motels, the wifi was pretty good at times when fewer people were probably using it (like early morning) but just ok during the evening, though the regular cell service I was able to get there was fine. My room was pretty quiet at night. The included breakfast options were fairly standard but fine for me - coffee, tea, juice, cereal, mini-muffins, bagels, toaster waffles, hardboiled eggs. My room appeared to be clean and well-maintained. The staff was friendly and efficient and I felt it was a good value - I'd certainly consider staying at the Vagabond Inn again.

Basically a solid, clean hotel. When I checked in I was told that there were two bookings. We clarified on site that only one booking was correct and the second booking was deleted. After I left, however, I saw that 2 nights had been charged to my credit card. Of course that's not right and I complained. To this day I haven't gotten my money back, which is a disgrace.
