Safari Inn

Great hotel! Service was good and room was perfect. Shuttle ride to and from universal studios was great!

Safari Inn is part of Coast Hotels. I liked the retro look. There was ample parking close to room. It was located on busy street but the noise didn’t bother us. Maryann was a very nice desk clerk, pleasant personality. She switched me to a ground level room due to my bad leg. Pet fees were reasonable. The room was clean. Didn’t try the pool but it looked clean. There was minimal cable tv service with no movie ordering capability. It was connected to Olive’s Bistro. We had outstanding filet mignons, mashed potatoes and fresh steamed vegetables. Also fast room delivery service. Overall very satisfied

Stayed here for one night while going to universal studios, and it was a bit pricey for what we got. The rooms smelled a little like cigarette smoke at night because people would stand on the balcony and smoke cigarettes and there was a strip of space between the door and the floor. The staff was nice though, the pool was not warm at all so I can’t tell if it really was heated or not. There was a bunch of hair on one of the double beds but the other one was very clean. Mattresses were fine and they offer complimentary shuttle service to and from universal studios and free parking– sure beats paying $ 20 to park at universal studios

Great place to stay! The beds were comfortable. The rooms were sizable & the showers were hot. I’m glad this motel is still around. And the neon sign is pretty awesome too! We had no problems with parking. It’s in a nice neighborhood and you can walk to the car rental place, which is about a couple blocks away! Would definitely stay there again.

Very cool retro place. Check in staff very nice and accommodating. The double full bed room is very spacious with coffee maker and fridge. Parking while free, is very tight. Pool being redone during visit late March 2016. No reduction in room rate offered. Mattresses need replacing. Traffic noise can be annoying. McDonalds, CVS, liquor store, donut shop and property owned Olives Bistro within walking distance. Bring your own toiletries-​while there is shampoo and body wash in large pump dispensers in the shower, it smells awful. Terra cotta, Olive Branch and Earth Tempo smell better.

After having to leave my apartment in Hollywood due to Black Mold with my kittens this past Saturday… I ended up at The Safari Inn via
…and thank GOD that I did… having one of the worst days of my physical health I approached two Oasis’s of Women working the counter at the Burbank Safari Inn, Maryanne Barrett and Gloria of the front desk. These 2 women have restored my faith in that some humans STILL understand REAL CUSTOMER SERVICE! They made what was turning out to be a very unpleasant day go SO MUCH BETTER and with ease, personality, compassion and RESPECT! $afari Inn HAS THE GOODS!!! Sincere people, REAL people… people from the CORE!!! Come here with Respect… you WILL get it back!!! Thank you SOUL Much, Maryanne and Gloria.

Good place to stay

A very friendly and quiet place to stay with good dining options close by. The room was impecable and spacious, the bed was comfortable and we loved having a ‘normal’ coffe maker (not those pouch-​only ones you find everywhere). Even a live plant to make it cozy. I love the ecological accent of not having plastic bags in the trash cans and encouraging you to save water. Way to go!!! The parking is not the most convenient but enough and free.

This was the worst place I have ever stayed. There is a 2 inch gap under the door. The motel is located on a busy street, so the traffic noise is horrible all night. The room looked like it had not been updated since the 80’s, including the matresses.

Just spent the weekend there because we had the house tented for termite fumigation, ugh! Everyone was nice and accommodating and the location is perfect. Close to restaurants and all. The room was clean and spacious. Will stay there again if something else pops up in the future!

Worse hotel I’ve stayed at in think EVER. They stuck us at a room near the office which happens to also be near where the maids get their cleaning stuff. All you hear starting early in the morning is them talking and slamming the door over and over again. There’s also tables and chairs in that area and people will sit there late at night and drink/​smoke while you’re trying to sleep. Don’t stay here!!!

Stayed here last year and it is an iconic, well maintained and clean place to stay near all the studios and life in Burbank World. My daughter and husband live about 6 miles away, and we have stayed at several other places over the years and this one is our favorite. Very consistant quality. They are owned by Coast Properties I think. (Sorry the review is so late, I did post one on another site but I have decided to use Unilocal for all my reviews now since they seem to be the most stable in terms of Account Management. Travelocity and Expedia cant even find my account anymore and I havent changed my details for 10 years)

I booked 3 rooms totaling near $ 5k for 1 week through
for my consultants traveling to California from out of town and was COMPLETELY disappointed in the results.
The rooms were paid for in full and upon arrival each of the guests were subject to a $ 250.00 charge for «incidentals». This required deposit was not indicated on the Travelocity website, nor was it explicitly explained on their website.
The verbiage used on both the Travelocity confirmations, website and Safari Coast Inn websites are misleading and cause confusion.
There were ants in the room and the overall experience is not one to be repeated.
If you are a business traveler and are looking for a nice place to stay while working on the road. Do not stay here.
While the staff was pleasant over the phone. They did not seem knowledgeable about the services and pricing listed on the third party websites they advertise through.

I’d give negative 1 for the rude way that I was spoken to when I was trying to make a reservation over the phone. I’m an AAA member who has credit cards thank you very much so don’t argue or condescend to me about whether or not it is or isn’t over the phone. Never ever have such crappy customer service handling your calls. I am a Burbank local who was trying to find a last minute hotel after a very confrontational argument with my soon to be ex husband. Next time you’re rude you might want to mind your manners because you never know who may call or show up in person to book

Stayed here this past weekend for our annual girls trip to see the Dodger and Giants. Not super fancy. Could use some updates but our room was clean and the staff was nice. I forgot my toothbrush and they had one for me.
Housekeeping was nice. Asked for them to come after 3PM and they did. Asked for extra towels and had them quickly.
Would stay here again for sure.

Great hotel and great location. I know it doesn’t look like much outside but the rooms are worth it. They are big clean and you get two sinks. The staff is friendly and they don’t rush you out for checkout. I had a great time there and will definitely go back again.

Really liked it. We stayed here 3 nights for a family visit to Universal Studios. Location was great as it has reasonable proximity to various places to visit in LA and a relatively decent neighborhood. we actually enjoyed driving up Olive Way over the freeway into downtown Burbank.
Wi-​Fi worked but seems to have a sort of odd interface, where we could log on and have it free, by entering our room number and last name (this seemed to be needed to be logged into daily) or for $ 5/​day, we could get «premium wi-​fi access».
Otherwise, really liked it for the price… we happened to have received a great deal, where the hotels dot com website was able to match the triple A rates I could have gotten otherwise, using our triple A membership.
Parking is a bit cramped… that’s about the only «con»…
FYI…2 adults/​2 kids

Wouldn’t recommend staying here, house cleaning can not be trusted. My bad, i checked out and forgot a pillow and a garment bag full of clothes, realized it half way home to the bay, we called the hotel right away and was informed the head of house cleaning would be there at 8 the next morning to call back. Called they said they had it, i told them i would pay for shipping. First the box took forever to come back then when i received it the only thing in the box was the pillow, management tried blaming the post office for tampering with the box and stealing the clothes inside, which was a bunch of crap. To bad it has come to where people are just shady and can’t be trusted.

Rooms were clean, the air conditioner had some unnecessary rattles but it did the job. Pool was awesome slightly warm could have been a little cooler being it was so hot outside already but it was still nice. Nice little sun deck. They have shuttle service and can take you anywhere in Burbank. They gave us a ride to universal studios and back. Friendly front desk they helped with printing out tickets, calling taxi, even getting a toothbrush and paste. I would come back its really a cute place.

I stayed one night at the Safari Inn in Burbank due to its close proximity to my apartment after returning home Monday (after a long weekend away) to find my bathroom had flooded thanks to backed up toilet. (I’ll spare you the pictures; the word «mountains» should convey to you how bad the flooding was.)
Expedia found a room for one night at the Safari Inn for $ 135. After taxes and fees, it came to $ 149.
I checked in around 6:30 and found plentiful parking in the tiny lot. My room was clean and comfortable. The beds were made nicely and it wasn’t too hot or too cold. The next morning I woke to find a cockroach (like, the size of those seen in Men In Black) in the tub. After catching said roach and releasing him back outside, I rinsed out the tub, showered, and checked out.
Overall (cockroaches aside) it was a fine experience. Bonus point: I realized afterward, the exterior of the inn was used in Apollo 13.
