Vagabond Inn Costa Mesa

Close to the freeway and to fast food places

This was the best rate 1 night stay I can get short notice. Overall it was a comfortable stay. However the overall condition of the room is poor: permanent marks on the bathroom floor, area around sink has a lot of debris. Also noticed two termite sized cockroach-like bugs, first when I first went into the bathroom, then another one climbing on the curtain. Maybe this is the best that a cheap motel can do but it needs to be known.

There is nothing good about this place. 45 min for check in, keys did not work, replacement keys did not work, had to change rooms. Dirty, everything broken. Unsafe for people.

Leaking water from bathtub faucet. There is not a thermostat to manually adjust the room temperature. Cool all night.

Cheaper price but older the room smelled moldy and the microwave was dirty. There was several transits were cutting through the parking lot at night.

The place was clean however the internet was horrible/ not working. Also room smell smoke even though non smoking room.

Room was so cold. Heater did not work, we request two blankets but still so cold, could not sleep well.

It was close to the freeway, but the rooms need some work, there was roaches in our room.

The room seemed clean enough upon initial inspection. However, we laid down for a nap and noticed several hairs that belonged to none of us underneath the pillows in both beds. There was no AC in the room so it became humid and hot very fast (even in November). The *****ping around the doorway was gone, so bugs were able to come in. Pretty sure we saw some kind of ********* in the parking lot AND the stairwells. The worst of it was the roaches. Roaches on my pj's that I put down on the table by the microwave just to use the bathroom. Roaches in the bathroom. Roaches in the nightstand and in the plastic protector over the lampshade. Roaches on my pillow. The one good thing I can say is that the pool looked nice (we didn't stay long enough to swim) and the front desk people. They did not seem surprised that there was a roach problem and offered to switch us rooms. With the drop ceilings and forced air vents, we knew the problem was going to be widespread. We declined moving rooms and they gave us our money back without hassle when I told them we would like to cancel the rest of our reservation.
