Everything started fine, very friendly staff, quick check-in, convenient location and a shuttle to the airport. A nice meal from the restaurant too. It's when I woke the next morning and there were 100's of little black flies in the room that made me disappointed. Also when I took a shower the water sprayed everywhere, after which I discovered it was flowing into the bedroom! Just as well I didn't have things on the floor. Anyway get those things sorted and I would be happy to stay there again.

I guess the price was a guide, but we wanted somewhere close to the airport on our last night in Samoa, for an early morning flight the next day. The room we were given was near the back of the property and the wi-fi didn't reach that far back, so no wi-fi. The room was very basic with no tea or coffee making facilities, no TV, one bath towel, no hand towel, and one pillow each with one of them so lumpy my wife used some clothes as a pillow. We did ask for a second bath towel. We ordered coffees in the restaurant and received beverages which tasted like they were made with instant coffee and sweetened condensed milk. They were so sweet they were undrinkable. Needless to say, we skipped the restaurant for dinner. To top things off, when were arose at 4:00 am to prepare for our flight, there was no hot water for a shower. When we complained of no hot water on our departure, there was no apology, no offer of a part refund, just a blank stare. The hotel served a purpose, but we would never stay there again.

Unfriendly staff at the reception. I respectfully inform them that I have an extra person and one fruit cake staff came with his price $200 to pay for the same room I slept with my sister and my dad. The fridge was dirty, and the air con was even working. Do better next time especially the customer service.

Thank you, Transit Motel, for always accommodating us. The location is perfect when flying in late to Faleolo International Airport and needing a few hours of rest before connecting to Pago. A special thanks to Pa’u and Faletua Gloria for your warm hospitality and friendly service - it always makes the stay feel like home.
