Transit Motel is close to the Airport. They have a van that drives the customers to the airport. They now have a restaurant that offers decent menu for the hungry traveler. It is far from Apia where most of the action is. It is what its named for which is a place to transit before the next destination. It is s peaceful place to rest, relax, and get a good warm shower before heading to bed and recharge.

Staff were friendly and helpful - they very kindly organised dinner for me, and I was the only one in the restaurant but portion sizes were great and well priced. Room was very basic but clean, has strong AC and hot water. It wasn’t the quietest hotel in the evening but its proximity to the airport was what I needed, and I had a very early start anyway. Airport transfer was included in my room rate which was great!

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.

Aircon was perfect, opposite the Samoa Beach Resort, close to airport, wharf, shops, restaurant's and etc Their Restaurant cooks beautiful dinner, staffs were brilliant especially that palagi and the staff from Satapuala at front desk, more shops at Mulifanua. Rooms were clean except one shower due to insects can access inside the rooms. Car park was good but people don’t know how to park. They are building the swimming pool hopefully it will be ready soon. There’s wifi at reception and restaurant area.

September 2025 I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional service provided by your transit hotel during our recent stay. The receptionist was extremely courteous and accommodating, offering us a refreshing drink upon arrival and allowing us to extend our stay until 12noon on the same day. This flexibility was greatly appreciated, as it enabled us to relax and prepare for our onward journey. I also noted that your hotel offers airport pick-up and drop-off services to Mulifanua, which is a convenient amenity for guests. The receptionist's professionalism and friendly demeanor made our stay very comfortable, and I regret not catching her name to express my gratitude personally. Please extend my thanks to her for her excellent service. 🌟

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.
