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.

The place is ok for transiting in a matter of hours but won’t recommend for longer stays. There were mosquitoes in the rooms and the wifi went off after our first hour of checkin. I would suggest having adapters or SIM cards/lava spots for guests and to keep money in this family business maybe open a mini convenience store because shops around the area usually close early or are inaccessible. We do want to thank the staff for allowing early checkin and providing drop offs to the Faleolo International Airport early in the morning. For the price we paid, I guess it was worth it but if you’re looking for comfortability and good experience I would not stay here.

An awesome place to stay when arrive in Samoa. Close to the airport and the wharf if planning on going to Savaii. Good comfort food with big servings. Staff are very accommodating and I love how they have a service to the airport and to the wharf. Keep up the good work and keep on doing what you’re doing best
