Eat & Drink

Spencer Makenzie's is right around the corner from the Vagabond Inn Ventura.

“For a simple stay, this spot holds its own with clean rooms and accommodating service; I appreciated the upgrade to a larger room. The dated exterior is easy to overlook once inside, though a slight odor issue in at least one room needs addressing. Overall, a decent option if you value functionality and location over aesthetics.”
