Nice hotel for a little getaway
It was nice stay. The hotel was clean and the location was great. Still on the boardwalk but not down in the crowded area. We were within walking distance of plenty of restaurants. Common balcony was a nice area to sit a people watch on the balcony both day and night.

Room was extremely clean and the beds were super comfortable. Check-in was super easy and parking was convenient. Only negative is that the hotel and rooms could use aome upgrading. But overall for a hotel right on the boardwalk it was perfect for us.

Get new mattresses.
I stayed w my family . The three of us two double beds . The room was small which was manageable , we just had to maneuver around eachother. Being right on the boardwalk was verey convenient for us and the beach. Coffee was availiable all day. Comfort was rough. Beds were old woar out spring mattress and despite a/c in room it was terrably humid. We did not come for the room but a descent night sleep would have made a big differance. None of the rooms have balconys. But each floor had a shared balcony whith a beautiful veiw of ocean and boardwalk which was a bit decieving in the description. Are 2nd time staying here due too convenience and availiability. But will probably be are last due too the miserable night sleep. Alot of people whith pets. Verey animal freindly. Daily housekeeping. 3 stars only for conveience, freindlyness, availiability and clenliness. Price felt a bit much guess due to being right on boardwalk.

Although I only stayed one night due to getting ill on my trip, the hotel is older but the staff and owners were very accommodating and wonderful!
If you need a spot right on the beach for a good price, the Safari hotel is it.
