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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Awesome as always ❤️

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
