I have stayed at the Safari Inn, a classic roadside motel, many times while building a house in Joshua Tree. Friends and relatives visiting the National Park (only a few minutes away) have also stayed there. It's right in the "town" of Joshua Tree, walking distance to its few restaurants and the local saloon, National Park Visitor Center, etc. The... more

This is my first time writing a review, and I'm doing so to basically thank the owner and his wife for their kind service. I didn't expect much for a $44 room, but I was pleasantly surprised to find the room clean and neat with a microwave, frig, and cable TV. It's obvious that the owner and his wife really... more

This place was built in the 50's and still had the original tile in the bathroom. The way the rooms are set up, we only heard noise from the hwy. We had a king that was comfortable and the room was not too small. I'll stay here again. more

True, this is not the Ritz, and does look a bit weary from age (it reminds me of the places our family stayed as we traveled across the country in the '50's) but it is very clean, the beds are very comfortable, extremely quiet and right outside the park and we couldn't find a better price in the area. We... more

On arrival we knew that the building was in need of renovation and we did n't get a great vibe from the surrounding area. Boarded up Windows on the house opposite, on check in the owner was sitting behind a security partition like in a bank !! There appeared to be a mixture of tourists and long term people staying... more

You get what you pay for. Not so clean, and refrigerator needed to be plugged in. The pool was scuzzy. But on the bright side, service was friendly and the location was very near the park entrance (though not walking distance to food or drinks). Would have been much nicer if there were a place to sit outside. more

This was our first trip to the desert, and coming from a big city it was a huge change. It felt almost eery how quiet and how relatively few people occupied Joshua Tree. If it weren't for the wonderful service from Safari Motor Inn, it would have been a stressful trip. I never had to worry about my belongings or... more

We stay at Safari Inn 4 to 5 times a year. The service is always great and we love the proximity to Joshua Tree National Park where we hike. The hotel doesn't have dogs barking or kids slamming doors. It's mostly adults enjoying the outdoor life in Joshua Tree. We stayed at another hotel in the area once because Safari... more

Found this place online and wanted something local to the Park. The facility is in need of some work. Rooms are small, old, poorly appointed and smell. The bathrooms are outdated and the old tile grouting is moldy. The reception area has several notes posted from previous visitors saying how great the place is. They are all from at least... more
