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 history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
“No one can understand Paris and its history who does not understand that its fierceness is the balance and justification of its frivolity. It is called a city of pleasure; but it may also very specially be called a city of pain. The crown of roses is also a crown of thorns. Its people are too prone to hurt others, but quite ready also to hurt themselves. They are martyrs for religion, they are martyrs for irreligion; they are even martyrs for immorality.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“American time has stretched around the world. It has become the dominant tempo of modern history, especially of the history of Europe.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
