Good place to stay, quiet
The check-in was quick, the room was comfortable as was the bed, but there wasn’t enough hot water for my shower on two minutes… at 6:15 in the morning on a Sunday

Favorite for over 40 years
Quick check in, comfortable bed, very clean. We have stay here for over 40 years and have seen this place go through ups and downs. They have made some much needed upgrades and it’s great!

Vagabond, a Great Choice in Bishop!
Our stay was great. No problems checking in, no loud patrons and restuarnts in walking distance.
Parking was very good as well.
Also the continental breakfast had various choices and great coffee.
The beds & pillows were very comfortable & the air conditioning was great in the August heat. My only complaint was that it was hard to maintain hot water in the shower but other than that our experience was positive!
The staff was very professional & polite!

I will stay there again.
Great location, they had a room with the ice machine washer dryers a freezer to store your fish and outside of that room they had a fish cleaning counter with s sink and granite. Nice pool and hot tub and just a nice place for a family to go. I thought the price was reasonable for Bishop. The location was great. Next time we go to Bishop, we will stay there for sure.

Hard as a rock mattress
First room, they gave us was smelly and right by the laundry room. Every day the room was open like they were trying to get rid of the smell. The second room was a handicap, and the bed was hard as a rock.

Everything about the room and the hotel is just fine (well, the pool needs to be redone before next season). Staff members were all friendly and helpful.

my stay at the vagabond
the room was clean and quiet. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were hard. Spent the afternoon at the city park with my dog. Nice park. It was enjoyable
