Vagabond Inn Bakersfield North - Motel in Bakersfield - 6100 Knudsen Dr, USA

I do not know who is writing all the positive comments but if you’re traveling through do NOT stay here. It seems like all these raving reviews are from people who use this hotel as extended stay and have no where else at all to go. If you can, go camping before you stay here. The room seemed clean but smelled AWFUL and strange. My spouse soon spotted several roaches and found that they were swarming behind the bed. So the terrible smell is likely roach killer. It’s a shame so many people have to breathe that in all night but we did not. As soon as we saw just how many roaches there were EVERYWHERE we left. There were SO MANY. On the WALLS and all OVER THE FURNITURE. They were even coming out of the outlets. This place was absolutely disgusting. I don’t care how curt or polite staff was. This place is a HEALTH HAZARD. Do NOT stay here. We saw the room and left immediately. Nobody should have to be exposed to a place as roach ridden as this. Did not eat breakfast, do not care how yummy some people say it is. With this many roaches in the room they’re probably dancing in the waffle maker. I wish I got photos. But the severity of the infestation was too real and all we could do was get the heck out of there.

What its shown in the pictures does not match the reality. The rooms are very dirty and smell extremely bad despite of we demand a non-smoking rooms. Microwaves are not working properly and there is no running water in the shower. We paid for breakfast but they didn’t serve any. All of these happens in three different rooms. Bad experience, NOT RECOMMENDED!!!

Clean, great priced, and front desk Megan was off the charts with customer service. Very sweet and attentive to our needs. Made us feel very welcome!

So I gave it one star 🌟 because it's not letting me put no stars. This hotel is completely disgusting from the moment that you're driving up in the parking lot. You can see. That is surrounded by homeless people. And probably that would not be the problem if they maintain clean the premises, but everything is filthy. Stains everywhere. The smell was unbearable when I came in approach at the front desk about the incident of the smell of the room. They affirm to me that no one ever complains about the rooms. I do apologize, but whatever you guys have posted on the website, it is nothing compared to the reality of what you guys are really offering to the people. If I would had seen these pictures before, I would not ever had booked the hotel, Since I utilized a third party for the booking, they were not able to issue my refund or cancel my reservation directly. So that was a whole other story. The manager was great enough to agree on. Refunding me the money of the next nights. Reserved now. The purposes did not go there while I was in the lobby. Train to get another room because my room was stinky. I'm disgusting. There were other patron complaining about finding blades in their room , If you go on the video, you are able to see how the roaches are happily living in there.

I've stayed in some pretty grungy hotels in Africa but this one took the cake. For the first time ever we went out and bought clean sheets to put on the bed. We were warned. When we got there a woman was complaining about the stained sheets on her bed and the manager was arguing back. The shower was mouldy and consisted of little more than a hose with a shower head mounted too low on the wall for anyone but a midget to bathe under. For some reason the back of the lock on the door was missing. Put bluntly, it was filthy.

DO NOT BOOK UNLESS IT IS THE ONLY THING U HAVE ENOUGH MONEY FOR‼️ My sister rented this room and told us to come swimming (mind yo she’s not the sharpest crayon in the box) any who when she checked in it had NOT been cleaned. Cigarette butts and ashes all over the night stand and bed. Trash all over the floor inside as well as outside the room. Come to find out after the last person checked out it had not been cleaned. But even after it was cleaned it was still the nastiness room I’ve ever set my eyes on. It’s was disgusting. Like it literally needs to be shut down. I was there literally all of 5 mins and I rushed room to shower because I felt so nasty.

Had a great time but Mrs Vianey, our housekeeper, God she was so wonderful. Polite and welcoming. Room was nice and clean decided to stay another week. Love her. She was so sweet. Pool was wonderful if u can get it without the sun melting you lol

DO NOT STAY HERE! My husband and I came here to have a fun stay and just swim around… WRONG! The pictures are lies. The pool is tiny and filled with dirt… there was literally dirt piles at the bottom. We requested a non-smoking room and when we walked it, it smelt horribly of smoke, the bed wasn’t even made, there were no bed sheets, no towels, no toilet paper, garbage in the garbage can and on the floor. The bathroom and the room was crusty. Inside the fridge smelt like a mix of peanut butter and windex. There was also homeless people EVERYWHERE! They were up and down the stairs, sitting outside of rooms, and it made us mega uncomfy. 10/10 would not recommend… it’s worth the extra money to stay somewhere else
