  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I like the location and its history

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We love staying here for the convenience of the shuttle to take us to Universal. It also has great surrounding places to eat and shop. The only downside was our bathroom had a leaky ceiling that we notified to maintenance and the tv oftentimes glitched.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Pleasant, convenient, welcoming and (for the area) affordable accommodation.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Misleading info on Expedia. Doesn’t have shuttle to LAX.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Fabulous motel near Universal Studios that has old Hollywood vibes. It’s well-maintained, beds are comfy and rooms are clean. Additionally, there’s an awesome coffee machine in the lobby that makes good complimentary lattes and hot chocolate! That’s a definite win:)

    The hotel is very nice and well maintained. I love the vintage design and how well they have managed to continue to its original look throughout the years. My room was nice and clean and have no complaints other than the location of the room being close to the elevator and wish the front desk had told me that when checking in. The sound of people coming in and out so early was a little unpleasant. But other than that I did enjoy my stay. I definitely will return, just in another room.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Such a wonderful stay. From check-in to check out, it has become my favorite place to stay. Will definitely be returning. It was clean, in a great area, with a shuttle and the staff were so friendly.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Our first floor room was clean, with newer floors. The staff and shuttle to USH was great and easy to use.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Clean and great stay

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    What a pleasant surprise to find this iconic motel! vintage vibe with modern rooms, we would definitely book again. Room 225 was super quiet and away from elevator and pool, but Room 218 for my travel partner was next elevator and was noisy through the night and early morning so I would avoid that room.

    Classic roadside American Hotel but super clean looks very updated and so quaint. Staff is extremely nice. Would stay again

    A wonderful piece of movie history, with courteous staff and clean rooms. Centrally located in Burbank.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    This is an older property, but that's OK, as it seemed to be very clean. The staff was very friendly, but we ran into several disappointments. Check-in time is shown as 3 p.m., we arrived at 3:30 pm and had to wait an additional 30-40 min. for our room to be ready. Two days before our arrival, we received an email that parking was $25/night but there is a shuttle available to/from BUR as well as local attractions, so we decided we would just use the shuttle. It turns out that the shuttle has to be booked 2-weeks in advance (for every trip needed) otherwise it's not available. Maid service was indicated to be every two days. We were there Monday-Thursday. On return to our room Weds pm, the room had not been serviced so we asked when our room was to be serviced. The initial response was that housekeeping would be there shortly, then a little while later we were informed there would be no housekeeping as they were short-staffed. The light in our closet went out on our second day, and we were informed maintenance would take care of it right away. Maintenance never showed up.

    Great stay! The room was clean and comfortable, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was very convenient. Would definitely stay here again!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great stay at Safari Inn Burbank-Universal, a Coast Hotel. Clean rooms, friendly staff, and a very convenient location near attractions. Would definitely return.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Housekeeping was great The inside of the room is old and the bed is very old and hurt my back badly. The coffee machine is terrible and you have to use cheap plastic as a filter. The A/c unit is extremely old. The fridge is old and stank. There were no cutting board knives or pans or cooking supplies. The Stoves are all old. There’s no breakfast and the coffee machine at the front desk was broke down the whole time except one day of the four I was there. The pet cost of $35 per pet is expensive but at least they allow animals. The charging of $25 for parking per day is extremely greedy. The front desk lady is nice yet out of touch with the fact this hotel is over priced and in desperate need of renovations and a lot of the things I mentioned wouldn’t even cost that much extra to renovate.

    We were hesitant to try the Universal shuttle as it wasn’t a guarantee that we would get on the reservation time picked. The staff were polite and helpful. The room we stayed in was spacious and clean. Close to universal and plenty of food options. A restock of the kitchen utensils and just putting the A/C on a few hours before our arrival are the only suggestions I have. Overall we had a great experience and would stay again.

    We liked the pool and the location. There was no breakfast but there was a yummy donut shop close by!
