Vagabond, a Great Choice in Bishop!
Our stay was great. No problems checking in, no loud patrons and restuarnts in walking distance.
Parking was very good as well.
Also the continental breakfast had various choices and great coffee.
The beds & pillows were very comfortable & the air conditioning was great in the August heat. My only complaint was that it was hard to maintain hot water in the shower but other than that our experience was positive!
The staff was very professional & polite!

I will stay there again.
Great location, they had a room with the ice machine washer dryers a freezer to store your fish and outside of that room they had a fish cleaning counter with s sink and granite. Nice pool and hot tub and just a nice place for a family to go. I thought the price was reasonable for Bishop. The location was great. Next time we go to Bishop, we will stay there for sure.

No Complaints
Everything about the room and the hotel is just fine (well, the pool needs to be redone before next season). Staff members were all friendly and helpful.

Consistently luke warm showers nightly. They offered a continental breakfast but was pretty sad. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable with a nice firm mattress. Quiet and comfortable stay and will return again next summer.

Best place in Bishop!
Passed by this place 100's of times in the past and we finally decided to stay here. So glad we did! Friendly girl at checkin-in, clean good-smelling cold room, comfortable bed. Close to everything good (fishing & food) AND they serve breakfast! What more could you ask for? This is now our new go-to spot in Bishop!
