We thank goodness for the day we had a horrible experience at a "resort" down the street from The American Safari in 2008. Talk about a great place to stay - this can't be beat. Heated pool, laundry facilities, planned activities throughout the season and a convenient, yet quiet location. If you want to relax, be comfortable and have a... more

My Husband, 4 year old and myself just returned from a 4 day stay at the American Safari.I was slightly concerned after reading the wide spectrum of reviews, mostly bad.

From the friendly check-in to the excellent housekeeping services, this place is great. Rooms are adorable and very affordable. The pool and barbecue area are icing on the cake. The location of the motel (close to boardwalk, beach, and great restaurants) make it a one-stop park & walk vacation. We'll be back again next year. more

Visited the motel just past the peak season couple of years ago, it was priced just right and quite enough to kick back with our older parents. Both us and them loved the pool and its design. It was clean and attractive looking, love the palms and chair setup. The room itself was definitely not a 5 star hotel quality... more

My family and I have been going to this motel for nearly twenty years. It was owned by a great couple for the majority of that time; they took excellent care of the motel and its customers. Then they retired and sold it to new owners. The place has gone steadily down hill ever since. The male receptionist is extremely... more

When my friend and I arrived, we both agreed that the outside of the hotel looked charming. Once we opened the door to our room, the horrible smell overwhelmed us. It smelled like mold & urine. Thankfully, I brought my own cleaning supplies so I immediately sprayed the bathroom down, remote, handles, etc. and then sprayed Lysol all over, turned... more
