Safari is a nice old fashioned motel, right in Burbank, close to all the studios. It's clean and comfortable, but can be a little noisy. Staff were friendly and helpful, but if you don't have a car, it's not the place to stay. They note that they have a shuttle to the airport, but they don't really - they use... More

Good location for family visit, we didn't stay a real long time but this Motel was just the the thing we needed, clean, affordable, and retro charm. Not knowing at the time I heard a lot of old Hollywood stories can be told of the Model. We didn't use any of the services so we cant comment. More

I was anxious about staying here having read some unfavourable reviews. Perhaps it was my low expectations, but the Safari Inn was fine. It's a budget hotel/motel but is clean, tidy and well maintained. The 'retro' feel rooms are a bit dated, but adds to the fun. I think the rooms are getting a revamp. While we were there, our...

I chose the Safari Inn for the location, near meetings on a two day business trip. And because it had a full kitchen in the Jr Suite. A restrictive food plan makes having a kitchen a real boon these days. But, for $145 plus a night I expect more than this place offers. Noisy neighbors were intrusive at night -... More

If you want to spend about $100 a night MORE than what the place is worth, this is your motel! My nightmare began when I was told that using a Visa debit card to pay for my room would result in an additional $100 being withheld for my room. In other words, this room was now going to cost me...

The room was dirty, towels were threadbare, carpet and bench was stained. I paid a discounted rate, but even that was too high for a property that obviously is not keeping their rooms in shape. I had called down when making reservation and requested a king size bed as the reservation did not give me an option of selecting a... More

This is a boutique motel, if there is such a thing. It's 2 level, with a pool and an upstairs terrace overlooking the property. It's not in a tourist-y location, so everywhere you'd want to go is a drive. Rooms are decent size but outdated. The TVs are not flat screens and don't expect anything else for the tech savvy....

I stayed here with my husband, my sister, & my dog. We chose the hotel because it was a pet-friendly hotel with good reviews & was cheaper than many of the other hotels in the area that we were considering. The hotel is right by the NBC & WB studios. The room wasn't very fancy, but it was nice &... More

Good location at a reasonable price. We've stayed a number of times with better than average results; however, this time the room I had was in need of repair--lights, bathroom and closet door. This room unfortunately had closet in bathroom. Bed and pillows very hard. No more free breakfast. The pool is still lovely. More
