"Great room comfy and clean"

Vagabond is really good about giving me a ground floor room when I request it. This time, I got a double room with comfy beds and great pillows. The bathroom and shower were clean and everything worked properly. I really like their discount deal with Denny's, too. Would highly recommend.
