What guests think

At Vagabond Inn Executive San Francisco Airport, travelers praise the convenient bayfront location near SFO and airport shuttle, while noting older, basic rooms with thin walls, aircraft noise, and varied maintenance and climate control performance.

Many guests find staff friendly and check-in smooth, though reports of rude interactions and inconsistent housekeeping appear in some stays. Cleanliness feedback trends positive overall, but several reviews cite odors, pests, worn furnishings, and dated decor. Waterfront rooms with patios or balconies offer plane-spotting views, yet noise and thin walls can affect sleep. Overall, expect a budget, no-frills stay that trades modern polish for convenience and views.

We stayed here due to it's convenience to both the airport and where we rented a car. The shuttle service schedule to the airport is merely a suggestion, as the shuttle arrived at the airport at least 15 minutes late. Still, the times we stayed the rooms were nice.

Good value for the money! It’s 10 minutes away from Terminal 1, the shuttle service is reliable and comes on time. And they have delicious complimentary coffee beverages at the front desk and extra drinks and snacks for sale. I only had a few hours between flights and it was a nice place to crash without spending a fortune. Very friendly staff.

But the room 102 smells terrible, walls and paint in the restroom and shower area it's in bad condition. Plus i didn't know that we have to make a deposit of $150. Hope they return it. Bad experience, bad costumer service.

If you want to stay in a room with a mosquito infestation then you found the right hotel. There were 40-50 mosquitos flying around the room all night. I killed 20 but they still kept coming up. Im allergic to bug bites. When i told front desk they told me, “we will let maintenance know”. No apology, no type if refund, nothing. They were all over the room, beds, bathroom toilet. Stay away from this place. It is disgusting.

I tried to check in and get my room key when I arrived a bit early because I had some place to be til late evening. I was told there would be a free of $25. Came back late and checked in. Room was a basic hotel room. But the floor was sticky. The bathroom vent/fan was stuck "on" so I had to keep the door shut. I went to put my left over dinner in the fridge but it was full of precious persons food. It wasn't cleaned out! It was convenient to the airport. But not much selection in places to get food. Bed was comfortable but pillows were too big/thick for my liking.

We loved the view behind the Vagabond Inn—watching planes land was surprisingly peaceful! The coffee machine was solid, and the shuttle was convenient (though be ready to get squished—it serves multiple hotels and seatbelts weren’t an option). We didn’t get room service, but we found the laundry room and scored some fresh towels. That was about it for amenities. There were some dead bugs, patched-up walls, and you could see daylight through the door. The “occupied” sign kept falling off, which felt metaphorical. A hot breakfast was advertised, but nope. We had to buy overpriced microwave meals from the snack bar (more expensive than airport food), and when we asked for utensils, we were told to buy more food. So yeah—utensils are rare treasure here. We walked 45 minutes to the nearest grocery store. The fridge and microwave worked (freezer was too frosty), and the heater was loud but effective. Thankfully, earplugs were provided since the walls were thin and we were next to the lot. We were charged $20/night for my husband’s service dog, but the room was never cleaned. We were gone from 12–5 daily, so time wasn’t the issue. Front desk was phone-absorbed, but the laundry staff was kind and helpful. Grateful for the view and earplugs, but we’ll pass next time.

The stay in general was ok, the photos on here probably oversell the place. It wasn’t exactly as I expected, but saying that I would stay again. Having a room with balcony was the best part and the saving grace for the stay, as could sit outside looking out across the bay, ok the airport is out there, but there was no noise. The room in general was clean and bed comfortable. The bathroom was adequate, needed some updating and cleaning, but ok for a 1 night stay.

I recently stayed at Vagabond Inn Executive San Francisco Airport Bayfront, and I must say that my experience was far from satisfactory. Despite having enjoyed previous stays at this hotel, my most recent visit was marred by an extremely disappointing check-in process and the unprofessional behavior of the front desk clerk, KIMBERLY. From the moment I arrived, it was evident that Kimberly had a rough demeanor and displayed a lack of courtesy. Her dismissive attitude and rude remarks made me feel unwelcome and undervalued as a guest. Although I initially brushed it off, assuming she might have been having a bad day, the unpleasantness persisted throughout our interaction. Moreover, when I requested an additional room key, Kimberly's response was both unhelpful and condescending. She seemed to disregard basic customer service etiquette and lacked the professionalism one would expect in the hospitality industry. As someone who works in customer service myself, I was appalled by her unapologetic behavior and her refusal to acknowledge the impact of her tone of voice. I believe that a hotel's front desk clerks are the face of the establishment and play a crucial role in shaping guests' experiences. Unfortunately, Kimberly's conduct left a lasting negative impression on my stay. As a result, I now find myself hesitant to consider future stays at this hotel and hesitant to recommend it to others, despite having done so in the past. I would never hire and employee like her.

We had the best person at the front desk. We were traveling with our daughter who was staying in a separate room. The woman made sure we had adjoining rooms without us even asking. She was very nice, she also pointed out the schedule for the shuttle to the airport. The hotel is older, but has character and is situated in a great location. It has a great feel about it. In the morning I shared the elevator with a pilot, so you know if folks from the airlines are staying there it’s a fine establishment. Overall we had a great time. We would stay again.

After a long bit of traveling and being around a lot of people, I wanted some solitude. It was a plus to be near the water. I didn't need much and this was just right. I had a ride to SFO in the morning. There was free coffee. The room looked and smelled clean. I enjoyed having a place to walk while the sun went down and when it came up again the next day.

Great place to stay for a few nights after arrival from the U.K. before hitting the road in our RV into the Rockies. Staff were excellent, free coffee in reception but no normal milk just the flavoured stuff , not for me, coffee is coffee flavour and not tasting like soda! Coffee was good though drinking it black. The area is safe, walk along the bay path. Food wise, if you like Chinese then you’re sorted, if not then there’s a place called Max’s around 10 minute walk south, very nice with a bar. Breakfast, we walked to Millbrae to the north and went to Pete’s cafe, very good.
