Helpful and friendly staff!

Friendly & helpful staff! If you need something, just ask them! Everyone was really polite and quick to offer help. It was nice to be close to the strip but have a quiet place to recharge! We were there to tour around the national parks on motorcycles, so it was great to have a pool, cold drinks kitchen etc. to come back to. Easy access on and off the highways. We would stay here again.

The Safari motel is one one the filthest motels overstayed at. The managers are from India which is great but they don't communicate in English very well. It was the condition of the hotel that I couldn't except. The towel and linens were dirty as well.

Room was dirty in many areas, a couple broken handles and such that are easy fixes. Hot water did not work so I couldn’t even shower. Overall the place is very neglected and I will not be returning

We appreciated being able to get a room at the last minute when our other reservation which we had made through Expedia fell through. The Safari was old and quite run down. Loose flooring, curtains hanging weirdly, etc. We were too tired to be picky. The bed was really high, very difficult for a short person to get into. We were told to run the hot water for the shower fo1-2 minutes but it was 5 minutes before it got kind of hot. We won't stay there again.

Unfortunately this property while pictured as slightly updated is far from it. Peeling paint & caulking, tub shower combo is a joke. You can’t use the tub & the shower has peeling paint on the inside, there is mold/mildew all over the bathroom ceiling. Dangling wires across the ceiling to the tv with crap channels. Beds were ok but pillows were horrible lumps. Towels did not match & were discolored. Moved a night stand to plug in my phone only to find trash & dust bunnies. The outlets were basically a joke as most things plugged in would fall out.

VERY GROSS, VERY STINKY, HORRIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE MO

The place stunk to high heaven of old stale smoke from probably 30 years ago, the place looks like a slum lord owns and operates it. The bathtub was so ugly I wouldn't even take a shower in fact no one in my family took a bath or shower the next day because it was so run down. Very poor condition, all of was good for was a warm place to sleep, the for in my dad's apartment is more comfortable than the stay at the Safari motel it was gross. I'll bet they have a coch roach problem because it also smelled of roach spray. Very stinky, very poor upkeep if you can call it upkeeping with the condition of the motel. Looks like something you'd find in a 3rd world country and the price is ridiculous with how poorly kept it is. Very unsatisfied and very unimpressed with this motel. DISGUSTING, DO NOT STAY THERE!!! With how poorly is kept they shouldn't even be on hotels.com as an option to stay at.
