History
In 1958, Vagabond Motor Hotels, Inc, a California corporation, opened its first location in California. From the outset, Vagabond Inn was geared towards the value-conscious leisure and business traveler.
In order to offer business travelers in urban markets upgrades and more amenities, the Vagabond Inn Executive tier was launched. Vagabond Inn Executive locations typically feature upgraded rooms with more amenities, exercise rooms, and all offer free expanded continental breakfast.
In 1994, Vagabond Motor Hotel, Inc. and Imperial Hotel Corp. merged and branded the combined group of motels with the Vagabond Inn name. The motto of the Vagabond Inn chain is “Great value. Friendly people.”

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The principle office of history I take to be this: to prevent virtuous actions from being forgotten, and that evil words and deeds should fear an infamous reputation with posterity.”
—Tacitus (c. 55–117)
“In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“A country grows in history not only because of the heroism of its troops on the field of battle, it grows also when it turns to justice and to right for the conservation of its interests.”
—Aristide Briand (1862–1932)
