Reviews for Safari Inn, a Coast Hotel

Review 1:The walls are thin and the guests in the room next to us kept us awake on our first night there. Other then that it was quiet and enjoyable.

Review 2:The rooms were clean. There was an elevator, plenty of parking and a heated pool. It was centrally located to everything we wanted to do in and around LA.

Review 3:Had a little mix-up at check-in, but the receptionist was very pleasant and it was taken care of quickly.

Review 4:The staff were very nice. Location was good for our needs, the room was clean and the beds were comfortable.

Review 5:The cooling system. Air conditioner went off everyday in the early evening. It was hot and sleeping became a problem.

Review 6:It was a beautiful remodeled hotel. There was dining available.

Review 7:The parking spaces are tight for larger vehicles, but was not a problem for a small car.

Review 8:Second time staying at this property. We love the convenient central location. Beds were comfy and the room was quiet. It's nice you can easily walk to get donuts or McDonald's for breakfast.

Review 9:Furnishings, carpet and beds have not been updated in 20 years. Could not keep temperature consistent in the room due to ancient air conditioner

Review 10:Location is good

Review 11:Lovely Motel with views of mountains, Very comfortable room & bed with bonus of a swimming pool. Close to Warner Bros Studios. Had a superb evening meal & breakfast at Coast Hotel next door

Review 12:Minor ~ coffee maker was broken. I reported it to the front desk when I left and they apologized and indicated they would fix it.

Review 13:Great welcoming front desk staff. Very nice updated room.

Review 14:Just that we didn't realize access to that cool top patio closed the same time as the pool...we would've gotten up there for the sunset and views earlier that evening if we had known. (Our bad - we should've read the sign)

Review 15:Loved the retro look!! Thank you for keeping it up and honoring the original looks! We always seek out the non-chain places to stay for their uniqueness!

Review 16:Bracket for box spring was not pushed all the way in which caused ankle bruise.

Review 17:Room was very clean, and was quieter than expected. Great location, providing easy access to Universal City.

Review 18:Despite the fact that I indicated I would be there early, and that the place was fairly empty, we still had to wait over and hour and a half after a long drive to have a room.

Review 19:Like the location, friendly staff

Review 20:The parking lot is very tight, not a 'didn't like' but a really small lot. I remember the room interior being more Tiki and in line with the theme, I was a little disappointed they weren't.

Review 21:The exterior was as I remembered. Cleaner now though.

Review 22:It took a bit of extra time to get checked in. room was not ready but we went across the street and had a cocktail while we waited.

Review 23:Great location for our plans. Room was very clean, comfy bed, safe neighborhood. Nice staff.

Review 24:They do not have breakfast. I typically choose places that do, simply because if you are spending all this money to sleep somewhere, it seems logical to get fed in the morning. They don't advertise having one, so do not misunderstand. I am merely commenting that that was the only thing I could see to make it better. Loved the place. Would stay again, as I said. :)

Review 25:The room was large and comfortable. My boyfriend and I really liked the decor - it was fun! The bed was very comfortable (a bit on the soft side, for those who like harder beds), and having two sinks (one inside the bathroom and another outside) was most helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again!

Review 26:Wifi was just average, it was a bit slow and disconnected randomly. Very thin walls and you could hear all the noise from the parking lot if you're on the first floor.

Review 27:Great location, good value for what you pay, plenty of space in the room, and it's a fun place if you're a True Romance fan. Also the staff are very friendly and accommodating.

Review 28:Morning lady was rude, wifi disconnects. Sheets, pillows, comforters don't have a pleasing smell. Room service came too late. Lotion and face wash don't smell really gross! You have to ask for toothpaste!

Review 29:Evening lady was very helpful, clean room, complimentary coffe/tea inside room and some good tv channels.

Review 30:I am upset that you would't credit me the first night's stay when I told you we couldn't get out of the airport due to a ticketing issue. I had to pay for a hotel near my home airport and get up in the morning. If you add in this expense it makes the Safari Inn very expensive considering it doesn't have many ammenities. I think it's your job to advocate for your customers and I think you could have done more.

Review 31:I do wish there were individual microwaves in each room, rather than just one community oven in the laundry room. Also, as the nights were starting to cool down in September, having the pool heated just a smidge more would have been very pleasant for evening swims. Even so, there's nothing to complain about. It was a good stay, and we're happy we chose the Safari Inn.

Review 32:We needed a place to stay on short notice with our cats while our house was being fumigated for termites. We opted for the Safari as it is near my husband's office, and they had a very accommodating and reasonable pet policy. The room was clean and comfortable, we appreciated the charm of the 1960s neon and the pool, (particularly the little upper deck which overlooks the pool, with its little tables and chairs was quite sweet), we felt very safe, and the staff was friendly and supportive. It's not a "destination" hotel, but it's a great little spot all the same. Because I needed to be with the cats most of the time, I appreciated the many restaurants, manicure salons, massage places that were only a short walk away. A good experience, for sure.

Review 33:The location is a let down. Nothing close to walk to and no atmosphere whatsoever. If you need somewhere to sleep after a full day at Universal it's fine.

Review 34:Clean rooms. Good price for what you get

Review 35:The bed was disappointing. Not very supportive and wasn't up to what I expected for the price of the room.

Review 36:The room was very clean

Review 37:i guess rooms are not sound proof, because we could hear people from downstairs .

Review 68:Everything! What a great place to stay. Can't wait to come back!

Review 69:Staff did not know the layout of the hotel when we checked in. When I checked out the desk clerk charged to the wrong card (I used one to make the reservation and wanted to charge to another on check in.) My bank statement shows a different amount than the check out print-out. Billing is poor.

Review 70:Good location. Easy to find. Near restaurants and stores.

Review 71:I asked for another night and unfortunately it was higher price $40 higher I was dissapointed

Review 72:I felt very comftorble had a great night sleep, it was very clean just had a very good feeling about it!

Review 73:Bed was not very comfortable, and the only rooms that offer a single king bed are the smoking rooms.

Review 74:The room and hotel grounds were clean, location was decent, AC worked well.

Review 75:The lack of varity on the TV viewing options. Also, teh chair and ottoman were badly stained and dirty.

Review 76:I especially liked the full kitchen in the room. The overall room was comfortable.

Review 77:The clock radio did not work very well. Wi fi was a little iffy, butnot awful.

Review 79:A little noisy outside on patio due to traffic

Review 80:The people were very nice. We had to cancel one room at 5 AM on the day of arrival as one in our party was sick. They allowed us to cancel without a penalty. The rooms were very nice. The area outside is a bit noisy due to traffic, but it is very close to restrooms. We had a real nice time.

Review 81:Suite room is great with full kitchen. Regular rooms are ok too butnothing special. Old style TV's and no microwave. Small refrigerator,but not very cold so hesitant to store food there. The staff members arepleasant and very professional. That is a big plus! I've been here forabout a week, and they have been immediately responsive to all my needs(extra sheets, batteries for the remote).

Review 82:Room very clean and pets allowed

Review 83:one of the desk staff, not friendly or accommodating on check-out

Review 84:This is my 2nd time staying there. I come down to spend time with a friend and the location is perfect for where his job is located. They were very accommodating for an early check-in.

Review 85:Usually I am up earlier than my partner and enjoyed sitting in the sunshine on the patio with my toast and coffee. I do miss the complimentary breakfasts. A small price to pay in relation to everything else.

Review 86:This was our third visit to Safari and we intend to return. We feel comfortable, safe and homey and the location is great for airport travel and near our relatives. This year, we also discovered the convenience of the nearby subway station.

Review 87:wi-fi is messy

Review 88:Location, near Universal studios, easy access

Review 89:Bed awful, walls very thin. Everything was bad from A-Z. Motel 6 would seem like the Four Seasons.
