The staff is super friendly and housekeeping did an excellent job. The room was clean and the bathroom was well stocked. The shared balcony was cleaned every morning and there is plenty of seating. It would be nice to have a few lounge chairs, though. The ocean view is beautiful and we got to see the dolphins, and it’s right on the boardwalk, so it’s close to shopping and restaurants, but far enough down from the big crowds on the upper end, but still within walking distance. We’ve stayed here many times, and will continue to visit.

The hotel (or motel) is simply furnished and clean. Although they do not come with a balcony, there is a patio at the end of the corridor for guests to step out, have a seat or coffee as well as get a good view of the beach and sea. There is a microwave and mini fridge as well and it is perfect!

When I booked the room, I believed I was staying in the building on the boardwalk with an elevator — that was the main reason I chose this property. Unfortunately, when I arrived, I learned that my room was actually in a separate building located behind the boardwalk property, which does not have an elevator. This felt like false advertising, whether on the part of the hotel or Expedia. Thankfully, we were only on the second floor, so it wasn’t too many stairs to climb. On the positive side, the room itself was spacious and clean. Housekeeping came daily to tidy up and provide fresh towels, which I appreciated. My other disappointment was with the military discount inquiry. Before arrival, I emailed about it and was told I’d need to call in. When I called, the man who answered initially said they didn’t offer a military discount, but after I mentioned the email, he said he’d call me back in 10 minutes and hung up on me. He never did!! Overall, the stay had its positives, but the elevator misrepresentation and lack of follow-through on customer service left a sour impression.

Safari Hotel was a nice hotel, but a little outdated. The front desk staff was very nice and check in was hassle-free! The room itself was cute, but had a musty smell when you walked in and air circulation wasnt that great with the AC on. It was a very damp room. Bed was comfortable and overall room was clean.

The room needs updated but it was clean. The staff were wonderful! We had an issue with our beach cart. The manager on duty came out along with another guest. With their help it was fixed so it could fit into our car. Check in was also good, we were allowed to check in early which we really appreciated. I'll be staying there again.

The whole staff was friendly. From time of check in to time of check out. The cleaning staff always checked to see if we needed anything and I know we didn’t make it easy, just didn’t want our little dog to run out. The owner seen me in the parking lot and checked to make sure I was ok. I was with my son in law and he probably thought I didn’t know him. That made me feel comfortable. I’ll stay there again on my next trip.
