She took the time to show care and concern for each guest. My boyfriend I were pleasantly suprised when we found out the room not only had a big flat screen TV but also a fridge and microwave. Very clean and well taken care of spot. Definitely will come here again!!!

Then another couple of minutes for him to find my booking because it was not coming up on his system! When I finally got to my room it was heavily disinfected with cleaning chemicals! The walls are paper thin so you can hear the conversations of guests in adjacent rooms very clearly! I also spotted a large spider on the bathroom floor in the morning! NO face towels! NO shampoo! NO fitness center! NO laundry room! NO swimming pool here! Only positives are: NO deposit required at check in! There is a vending machine at the front desk! There is a coffee maker, refrigerator and microwave in the rooms! There is also a dining table with two chairs in the room which is blocking the Air conditioning unit!

I was near the back on the upper floor, and it was quiet. I had a little kitchenette in a separate little breakfast nook, which was nice. Cue mini fridge and microwave.

I honestly wish that I could give this motel no stars. I travel often and this is by far the worst…read moreexperience that I have ever had. I stayed here based on the ratings, which is surprising that there are ratings that are positive. As a woman and a mother are those two reasons alone I would never stay here again. During check-in, another guest was overly close to me. I arrived at night and when I left the office to go to my room, this guest was standing outside, waiting for me and then proceeded to wait outside his hotel room to see which room I was entering. I let the front office now and they eventually got me into a different room that was out of this guest view this new room on the first floor and unfortunately, all three windows in the room did not lock. I tried everything and I could not get them to catch or stay closed which was super concerning to me. I had to leave for work early in the morning and when I went out to leave, I found that a car had parked perpendicular right in front of me illegally and I was unable to move thus making me late for work later that night or should I say early in the morning at 2 AM my neighbor was blasting their music. I heard the front desk come over in pound incessantly at the door and the guest will not open the door. I heard the guests in the room, but they were not opening for management. I was trying to get some sleep, but between this guest and their music and the windows, not locking and the man watching me I ended up checking out at 3 AM and went down to sleep to sleep in my car where I felt more safe all in all it was an absolutely awful experience.

Watching Simpsons on FOX and a roof over my head. Yeah, the area wasn't welcoming but I didn't care and it was the best value for my buck. Water worked. Had plenty of space for clothes and stored food in the fridge. Never had the chance to use the communal kitchen, laundromat and pool. Been 10 years and felt nostalgic to write a review. Thank you again.

So here's an honest review,…read more pros: it was a very cheap hotel and for someone like me who had to get smtg very last minute with not a lot in the bank, it was perfect, I was staying there to go to a convention down the street and it was only 10 min which was great, website says no private parking (from what I remember) but there is an area to park in the back, it's gated and you have to press a button to get in or out which me and my friend were very happy about, the fridge was pretty nice, not a mini fridge, it had two different doors for reg fridge and a freezer, lots of drawers and cabinet space, tv worked well, bed was comfortable and pillows were comfortable and the locks on the doors were electric so you need a card to get in. Cons: there were stains all over our sheets, nothing crazy but more like stuff you can't really get out (coffee, wine, etc) but one of these sheets had someone's name written on it with a pen?? To us, it looked like they just didn't change that sheet, pillows had stuff on it too, we ended up going to get pillow cases to cover them, I personally didn't see bed bugs but we did have an encounter with two roaches, one dead and one alive, they are the size of horse fly, one of the drawers had nerds clusters in it and it looked like some of the nerds were on the floor too, there was a medical cabinet that had an old bag in there with god knows what, someone got a arrested the first night we stayed there, lots of yelling and threats (also would like to add this was not in their control and the front desk did call the cops), when I was checking in, the man asked if I wanted to see the room I said yes and when leaving he asked if I was staying alone and as a younger fem presenting person, this made me very uncomfortable for a older man to ask me this, I thought it was inappropriate and made me feel unsafe before I even got the key to the room, very thin walls, we were right next to the kitchen and could hear everything, I didn't want to take a pic for their privacy but also in the kitchen there were these couches and there looked to be a homeless person sleeping on one, there is absolutely no security on the grounds aside from the cameras and the gate and for this hotel being in a "rough" neighborhood, I feel like it's needed to insure the safety of their guests and also I don't know if this is just a hotel or not, it almost seemed like it was part hotel and part apartment complex, not really a bad thing but just thought it was strange Over all, would I stay here again, most likely not. The cons outweigh the pros too much I don't think I will ever come back unless needed too, there were other hotels with similar rates nearby that I'd rather not come back to this one.

5/5 Stars My stay at…read morethe Safari Inn was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome. Everyone was friendly, professional, and always willing to help with anything we needed. The customer service was top-notch and truly made our stay even more enjoyable. The room was extremely clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. You can tell they take pride in keeping the property in excellent condition. After long days exploring Los Angeles and performing at the Comedy Chateau Festival, it was great coming back to a room that felt relaxing and spotless. One of the best things about the Safari Inn is the location. There are plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, stores, and attractions nearby, making it easy to get around and find whatever you need. The iconic Safari Inn sign adds a classic Hollywood touch and makes for some great photos as well. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable hotel with excellent staff and a convenient location, I highly recommend the Safari Inn. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Los Angeles! -- Rafael Gee

I honestly fell in love with the sign outside--it's what sold us when we were booking the room. Parking is separate, so you do have to pay $25 per car each night, which I did find a bit odd since it's not included with the stay. The incidental deposit is $200, which is a little steep, but somewhat understandable. The room itself was clean, which we definitely appreciated, and it had a pleasant scent as well. It is a bit outdated, but nothing too bad or uncomfortable. The location is also a plus--it's in a great area with plenty of food options and lots of stores nearby to shop at. The hotel does have a pool as well. I didn't get a chance to use it, but it looked very clean. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely come back and stay here again.

I travel to the area a few times a year for work so I have stayed in multiple hotels and Airbnb. I…read morehadn't seen this hotel before and it was priced right so I decided to give it a try. First of all, they are under new management. I'm not exactly sure when they took over but Sam introduced himself on the first night I was there and was really nice. We spoke several times during my 4 night stay and he shared his long term vision for the hotel, which sounds great. The location is perfect for what I needed. Close to lots of restaurants, my office, and in a safe neighborhood. They have an uncovered parking lot, which was a bit annoying since it rained the whole trip, and you do have to pay daily for parking now. The lobby was inviting and the front desk staff was helpful and got me checked in with no problems. My room was large and the bed by far one of the most comfortable that I have ever slept in. I also appreciated that they have regular AC controls and not the motion activated ones that seem to be the norm in hotels these days. My room was cool and comfortable. My only complaint was that the water pressure, specifically in the sink, was really low. If you enjoy drinks, check out the hotel bar. Dennis is hilarious and very entertaining. Someone complained about him being loud but I thought he was a lot of fun. There are locals that come in just to see him so that has to say something. Another complaint I heard was that the food was expensive. First, it is a hotel bar/restaurant in California. I though it was reasonably priced for what it is. They have a small but decent menu. Try the wings! Overall, this was a really cute hotel in a good location and I would definitely stay here again. If you decide to check it out, tell Dennis that Jenn (Yen) says hello!!
