I stayed at the Safari Motor Inn for 2 nights to visit the Joshua Tree National Park. What stood out for me was the wonderful customer service by the Manager. I was offered a bottle of cold water on my arrival which was great as it was a hot day in Joshua Tree. He recommended many restaurants, helped me find... More

Booked this place last minute. It was in a perfect location right next to the Joshua Tree entrance, within the heart of the small town. You could walk to nearby restaurant and saloon. The room was nice with a fridge, microwave and cable TV. The air conditioning worked well (a definite plus). Although I didn't use the pool, it looked... More

Stayed here for 3 nights while hiking in Joshua Tree National Park. The room was basic, but clean and comfortable. The owner, Ravi, was so nice and helpful. He set us up with maps, restaurant suggestions, and extra pillows when we asked. He was even nice enough to call after we had checked out to let us know we had... More

After arriving in Joshua Tree in a hail storm, we opted to spend the night in a Hotel instead of camp. We headed to a local cafe where the waitress suggested the Safari Motor Inn. From the outside it looked very unassuming. But once we checked in, the owner was friendly, helpful and happy to chat! Our room was pretty... More

Great place with a very friendly and caring owner, good walking distance to the local breakfast joint- country kitchen and the saloon. If you want good value, a caring, personal approach in a great location. This is your choice.

We stayed in January to hike in the park. Very welcoming management with good restaurant information. Room was basic but very clean and great bed/shower. Slept well. Would definitely recommend and return ourselves.

We stayed here for 2 nights in February. Very friendly welcome during our stay. Owners very conscientious. The bed was comfotable and we slept well. The room and bathroom are clean. Very good value. Great location for Joshua Tree Park. The fridge is handy for stocking food if you're planning on doing some hiking. Joshua Tree Saloon, a 5 minute... More

All the motels in 29 Palms were "No Vacancy" the first time I stayed at the Safari. This was May of 2K10. But, I have stayed at inns in 29 Palms before. Totally overpriced and full of Marines in party mode. The Safari was not that way at all. I'm sure, however, that campers to Joshua Tree Park do show... More

We stayed here passing through Joshua Tree and found it to be a great stopover. Rooms clean and functional. Owner was really friendly and helpful, telling us where local eateries were. The cameras mentioned elsewhere are to keep parking area secure and are not in any way obtrusive. Good value too.
