I also posted this under the Hotel Reviews forum.... I just got back from a 4 day stay at the Vagabond Monterey. This hotel is listed as 2.5 stars. I booked two rooms for 3 adults, $39 each room. I needed one room to have two beds. When I called the hotel to request that arrangement I was told that would require an upgrade from the Hotwire price. The upgrade cost was $20 each night. I don't know if that is standard operating procedure or not. Just aware that if you need two beds in a room you will pay the $20 up charge. Location: This was great for us. It is located in a central location to the places I needed to go. Amenities: Slim, but we weren't looking for much! There is a outside hot tub that wasn't working. We didn't get to try the continental breakfast because it started at 7:30am and we were always gone by that time. The upgrade room had a fireplace. Each room had small fridge and microwave. Cleanliness: Yes, the hotel and grounds were clean. Of course, take this from 3 guys that were on a golf trip! Staff: Friendly enough. We didn't really require any help from the staff for anything. Would we do it again: In a heartbeat! I have nothing bad to say about the Vagabond other than the upgrade cost for two bed room was a little bit of a shock.
