Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at the Safari Boardwalk Hotel for the Fourth of July week. The staff was friendly and accommodating throughout our visit. The location right on the boardwalk couldn’t have been better—super convenient for everything we wanted to do. The hotel was clean and comfortable, and it was exactly what we needed for a relaxing beach getaway. We would definitely stay again!

Great value, wonderful stay!
Pros:

I had a wonderful stay. Everything was exceptional and the staff went above and beyond. From upgrading our room to allowing early check-in, service was top tier. The beds were comfortable and I loved that the shower had good pressure and flow. The hotel is right on the boardwalk and has shared balcony access!! Zero complaints, I'll be back!!

My new favorite go-to place to stay in OC!
Pros:

I had such a fantastic experience from start to end - the staff are so kind and accommodating, the location is absolutely perfect, just a couple steps from the boardwalk and beach, free and private parking, very clean rooms, and a bunch of great little extras like coffee and cookies in the lobby, an ice machine, etc. I will definitely be back - it’s my favorite place to stay in OC by far!

Cons:

N/A - everything was honestly great

Staff and everyone there was super nice!!! This was my first time staying there and I will be booking there again! Amazi
Pros:

Close to everything!! The huge balcony on both floors and that at night you can’t get into the hotel without a key card which I felt very safe there🩷
