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.

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.

A very pleasant safe quiet stay.

It was a very pleasant short stay of about 9hours. My flight arrived pass midnight and the staff were very kind to allow me an extra hour and forty five minutes stay pass checkout time. My next flight check-in time was midday. I actually slept comfortably. Transfer to airport was great too. Clean and neat room with essential amenities available and nice cooling AC. WiFi is free and with excellent speed. Friendly staff and quiet safe environment. I would definitely stay here again when I needed to be close to the airport.

Pleasure to meet and greet with the amazing owner of Transit Motel. Gloria Samana Ausage and her team were very helpful and friendly to our family. We were able to check in early without any issues. Even though the room was not ready for us due to the previous guests were still checking out. Gloria and team were able to accommodate our last minute request. Thank you Gloria and Transit Motel for your generous hospitality and great customer service. I recommend this place to anyone visiting Samoa.

Don’t stay here unless you have an early departure

Staff was very unfriendly. There was absolutely no Internet! They requested to hold my passport and then forgot to give it back to me when I left! Had to travel an additional 25 minutes back to pick it up! Located in the middle of nowhere - so don’t expect be able to pop into a restaurant! There are absolutely no beaches anywhere nearby. It was $25 more expensive than a really good hotel in town. It’s only redeeming advantage, was that it was close to the airport.
