Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near plenty of restaurants, though the proximity to the restaurant was a bit too close. The raindance shower and hosed shower added a nice touch to the room. The service, especially at the motel and restaurant, was very friendly, although there was an issue with finding the room key. The Mimo district location was unexpectedly great, offering a variety of dining options nearby, but it might be better suited for those with a car or using transportation services. The breakfast, consisting mainly of bagels and cereals, was average, but having the option of homemade yogurt was a nice touch. Overall, the Vagabond's facilities provided a comfortable stay, despite being away from Miami Beach.
The hotel offered newly updated rooms with great showers and beds, although the proximity to the restaurant made it a bit loud at times. Brighter lighting would have been appreciated during my two-day stay. Overall, a cool and comfortable experience.
The hotel offers spacious and well-equipped rooms with a nice view of the pool. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, ensuring a kind and accommodating stay. The location provides gorgeous extras, but can be a bit far without transportation options. The dining options are basic but sufficient, and the facilities are well-maintained.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms, although relatively spacious, had a slight damp smell which was a bit off-putting, but they were perfectly sized and the shower was nice. The service couldn't have been better with a welcoming and sympathetic staff who were accommodating and kind. The location was good with some nice restaurants within walking distance, but it turned out to be a bit far from certain attractions. The dining experience was a mix of good and not-so-great, with some dishes exceeding expectations while others fell short.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel for 2 nights. It's conveniently located near restaurants and walking distance to attractions. The rooms were spacious, but the lack of mini-fridges was a downside. There was a slight odor in the room, yet the fully open plan bathrooms added a roomy feel.
