I have my dog with me & we had recently stayed at another hotel in Bakersfield. I believe in picking up after your animals. The hotel we stayed at previously did nothing to enforce this or to clean up, I had to watch my step every time I took my furbaby outside, there was that much poop every where. My stay at the Vagabond was the opposite. There were still people who didn't pick up after there animals but the hotel made sure to keep their areas clean. This was greatly appreciated! No one wants to take their dog out at 1am, half asleep, & realize you just stepped in a pile of poo! I would definitely recommend the Vagabond to anyone who is looking for a place that is cost friendly, clean, & has a courteous staff.

I checked in with my wife area was ok. As soon as we walk in there's patches on the ceiling patches in the doors. No toilet paper, looked they didn't even clean there was stains in the sheets. The toilet was running and didn't stop no fresh towels. We go back down to see if we can get a refund said we have to go thru Expedia because it was booked thru them and then nothing can't get a refund can't get credited. Nothing was resolved. I will definitely not be staying there ever again and will start using another 3rd party like trivago
