Vagabond Inn

Did not like how the office did not open until eight in the morning. I feel like we should be able to get there early and have somebody waiting at the desk. Also parking lot was difficult to get around.

We stayed for a Saturday night while attending a race at Laguna Seca and it went as expected. Nice enough hotel at a good rate. Clean enough, though the room could have used a more thorough cleaning in the corners. Minifridge was handy. The parking lot is quite tight so if you have a large vehicle like a full-sized truck you may want to park on the side street. No breakfast provided. It's just under a mile to the waterfront and through a plenty safe neighborhood, so it was easy to walk to dinner and drinks.

We really loved our stay here! Right off, the person at the front desk was very friendly and even gave us a free upgrade. Complimentary coffee in the lobby and the room, a refrigerator, microwave, and fireplace were nice amenities. Our room even had a distant view of Monterey Bay. The hotel is located less than a mile from Fisherman's Wharf, and we walked there in about 20 minutes. The condition of the room was mostly very good, but the shower head looked like it needed to be replaced and there was about a 5 inch crack in the ceiling over the bathroom sink. We would definitely stay here again on future trips to Monterey.
