HOW DOES THAT PASS INSPECTIONS?? MICE,... More

I stayed here one night about 2 weeks ago when my camping trip at Butte Recreation was rained out. I needed somewhere inexpensive and last minute. I saw the reviews, and so I didn't expect much- just a clean place to sleep for the night. I checked into the room and the smell of smoke was overwhelming. The phone did... More

I moved my daughter up to Chico in August for school and spent 3 nights at this motel. I really just needed a place to sleep since we would be runing around during the day getting her moved in to her new place by the college. The price was amazing like $42 a night, and it was close to everything... More

The rooms are clean and the fee is minimal. However, the pool was a little scary looking and I was a little unhappy that I booked the room with 3 people but only got two towels even after requesting more. The office does not open until sometime after 9, making it very difficult to get service (towels, toilet would not... More

These managers seem to not really care about the guests. They only care about themselves and their "large" property. I stayed here for a week and everyday for an hour in the morning they blow leaves, right by the room doors, waking you up. The pool was disgusting. They had 3 chairs by the pool, one of which was broken,... More

I love to stay at cheap hotels--occasionally you find a gem. The Safari Inn, unfortunately, is not. I couldn't find the place on Mapquest, which is my fault, so I called the front desk. I told the proprietor that I had a reservation on line, and asked him for directions since I had just arrived in town. He barked back,... More

This was the only room in Chico we could book as it was graduation weekend. I would strongly recommend staying in a close town rather than staying here. It is filthy and felt unsafe. The tile in the bathroom was cracked and moldy. The toilet ran all night. Don't let the outside fool you. That's by far the best looking... More

I stayed here with a few friends for three nights. We paid $50 a night, the cheapest place we could find in Chico. But I honestly would have paid a little bit extra somewhere else for some clean sheets. When we checked in the woman who owns the inn (it's family run) was rude and impatient with us when I... More

Chico has several 50s era motels on what remains of old highway 99 , most of which don’t show up on the internet. The Safari looked like the best of the lot, superficially the room looked ok, and we stayed there. We’d have been better off out by the freeway. The bathroom was cruddy. By that I mean there was...
