NOT WORTH THE PRICE

The room is disgusting. If we werent traveling so late i would have left already. You could shower surez but if you touch anything in the room then you need to take another shower. Yeah you save a couple dollars, but it is NOT WORTH IT!

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.

Needs some better care.

I would give this place a better rating, but the condition is so poor. Nothing that creates a problem, but just in poor looking condition (very poor patch jobs, paint peeling, curtains that are wore out, missing light bulbs, etc.) Other than that, it was a good stay, Beds are great, cooler worked fine, so we were comfortable.

The Safari was medium priced. The room was absolutely atrocious. Walls were filthy. Floors were filthy, light bulbs were missing, and the lights didn't work at all. The towels were grey and tatty. The fridge top was broken. The curtain to darken the room looked like it had been used for target practice. The ceiling had tiles that were torn up. The safety latch didn't work. UGH

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I haven't been to a hotel that has been so poorly taken care of in my life! There were patched up holes all over the room and some that were not patched up at all. The sink in the bathroom was cracked, the tub was painted in spots, the bar of lights in the bathroom and the back of the room only had one light bulb out of 4 in each. There was no outlet in the bathroom and no mirror other than in the bathroom, so it was difficult to do my hair. The flooring in the bathroom, tile, curtains, pictures on the wall were at least 40 years old. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone.
