About Vagabond Inn Oakland
Vagabond Inn is an upper economy and mid-priced chain of hotels headquartered from El Segundo, California. With more than thirty locations in major cities across five states along the West Coast of the United States, it caters to those who want a higher level of comfort at a reasonable price. Their hotels are strategically located near markets, popular tourist destinations, or major airports for maximum convenience.
Vagabond Inn started off around 50 years ago in California as Vagabond Motor Hotels. Now after a merger with Imperial Hotel Corporation, it is now owned by Vista Investments and had expanded across the West Coast with their brand of old-fashioned, Western hospitality through their slogan “great value, friendly people”. Aside from catering to the value-conscious leisure-seekers (and their pets as well!), it had also expanded to meet the needs of the cost-conscious business travelers, with its Vagabond Inn Executive brand, mostly within California.
Vagabond Inn takes pride in being green, and had been extremely successful with it. In 2011, Vagabond Inn was ranked as the Most Energy Efficient Hotel Chain in the U.S., besting 46,000 other hotels, according to a study by Brighter Planet, a leading sustainability tech firm. That is an achievement even big hotel brands cannot follow.
