Great stay. Before we got there, front desk service was amazing with helping me set up shuttle dates and times from the airport to the hotel and also from the hotel to Universal Studios! So amazing! The drivers were so friendly and nice. The people at the front desk were always so friendly and helpful. The room was great for me and my two teens. Clean, cozy and enjoyed the pool under the light up sign! Close walking distance to CVS, donut prince and raising canes. Did not regret not getting a rental since we were only there for Universal Studios. Will definitely book again!

Stayed here with my family (2 adults, 1 child) during September. The hotel staff are very helpful and friendly. The room was spacious (we had a standard twin). The beds weren’t as comfortable as I would have liked, but it wasn’t extremely bad. My son got to use the pool which was nice and warm. I liked the nostalgia of knowing some of my favourite movie and tv shows filmed scenes here. The shuttle service was such a life saver! Just make sure you book it before hand, however they were able to accommodate for us one afternoon when we decided to leave the park a little earlier. Drivers on the shuttle are also amazing.

The Safari Inn is basic, not posh, but it does basic well. Overall very clean, although the floor could have been cleaner. Very friendly and helpful staff. Loads of outlets, which is helpful. It would have been nice to have conditioner as well as shampoo and body wash, although I appreciate the refillable containers in the tub that waste much less plastic than travel sized toiletries. The parking lot is tight and some larger vehicles made it nearly impossible to pass through it.

It was a family friendly property with attentive and friendly staff. Pool was great. Free parking a plus but the parking lot is tight and gets full of you come back later in the night. The only set back was that the first night there we were on the second floor and we got 2 phone calls from the front desk about noise that the downstairs room complained about. It is not the hotel's fault but we have 2 children and they sometimes get carried away. We told them to calm down but the two times there was complaints, it was before 9pm and after 9:30am the next day. People need to be more understanding that they're in a hotel in close quarters. We moved to a downstairs room pretty quickly and it was great. However, as expected, we did hear people upstairs. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary. So to the complaining person, ease up and chill out.

For the second consecutive month/visit in a row, I have come back to a parking lot stuffed full of cars and no place to park. There are more spaces to park than there are rooms and the clerk who checked me in promised this would not happen again when I notified him of it happening last time. This is unacceptable and aside from my upcoming prepaid stay, I strongly doubt I will be returning here. Despite noticing the mananger on duty that evening, he did not care about this issue, he was dismissive and unhelpful.

Valerie let us checked in a lil early when we arrived on 07/11/24. All the staff including the drivers were very polite, friendly and hospitable. The complimentary shuttle to Universal Studio and Burbank Airport is another reason to come back and pick the same hotel. Our room 224 was clean and bigger than Anaheim Hotel (previous hotel). The area is quiet and very accessible to all Uber ride and just close to burbank downtown. We’ll definitely come back recommend Safari Inn to our friends.
