The motor hotel has an excellent location for a visit to Joshua Tree National Park. The rates were very reasonable and the service by the owners was excellent. We left some items in the room which were promptly mailed to us at an inconvenience to the owners. Would stay again!

If you arrive after 9.30pm when the office closes they won t be able to give you keys and your room. I have asked one day before for a late check in and it was not possible. I arrived late and I had to find another place to sleep and pay twice the night!!!

When staying in Joshua Tree, you have three options for accommodations. Fancy expensive resorts, camping or a selection of small motels in the heart of the city. If you wish for something affordable, in the center of town, the Safari Motor Inn is THE BEST. It's important to understand this motel is nearly 70 years old, so please manage your expectations but I can assure you as of 2-1-25, this motel is clean, well appointed and you CANNOT beat the absolutely amazing customer service. The employee I dealt with was SO kind and helpful. I will be staying here one weekend a month indefinitely. I can't wait to return!!!

I came for Bhakti Fest which is quite near, and also had a little time in the Park which is very nearby.. Both were excellent experiences, and the sanctuary of aircon and pool and shower when otherwise beleaguered in heat was fabulous. The place is older, and has it's wondrously kitsch aspects, but it's sincere and the owners are kind. I Slept well, the bed was huge, the mattress new, the place felt clean and welcoming. I look forward to returning!

Beds are uncomfortable and room looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in who knows how long. Furniture was old and dirty too. A/C & heater unto in window was loud. There were hairs in the bathroom and dirt in windows, window sills and corners of rooms. Shower entrance is narrow so if you’re person of size you may need to enter shower sideways. Also closing the shower curtain restricts light from bathroom so makes it kind of dark. My daughter who stayed in separate room said theirs was the same condition and commented that toilet paper is probably not even one-ply. Definitely not staying here again and would not recommend. They should spend some money in renovating the rooms even if one at a time and replace driveway, too. Has potential but, again, will stay elsewhere next visit to Joshua Tree.

The Safari Motor Inn is from an age when rooms were smaller. We stayed two nights, in June 2023. The room was clean. The sheets, pillowcases and towels were very clean. The bathroom and shower, likewise, were quite clean. Our stay was pleasant and more personal than at a large hotel. This Inn matches the tone and nature of the town of Joshua Tree. Our sleep was good, with the mattress medium firm: no back pain. Breakfasts and dinners were a couple of blocks walk, and were very excellent. Cactuses were many and varied in the pool patio area. Many security cameras ensure your safety. We will come back to Safari and Joshua Tree National Park.

I have been staying at the Safari Motor Inn for one or two nights a week when teaching a class at the local community college. My room has always been ready, perfectly clean, quiet, comfortable and allows me to quietly grade, prepare for class, and have work space that is suitable for my needs. I, when weather allows, enjoy the inner garden with the many light show arrangements that have been set up in the garden. It is also a good place in the morning to read the paper and enjoy a cup of coffee. Clean, comfortable, close to several interesting places to eat and near the national park. Seems to be a perfect place for a good night's rest.
