So convenient to and from the airport. Not fancy but more than adequate for travelers looking for a good value and pleasant experience. I stayed extra days due to business in Dar before departure to Mbeya. Friendly and helpful staff. Shopping for essentials nearby as well as English language church on Sunday. I travel to TZ every year and I will stay at this Hotel from now on. Asante sana Transit Motel Suites!

The hotel is very convenient for the airport and is a good option if you just want a bed for the night. Rooms are simple but clean. Staff were helpful with my luggage as there wasn’t an elevator. Free transport to and from the airport was excellent.

So much to say here. Not a bad place tbh but a few things really need to be worked on; hot water in my room just trickles, toilet did not flush or refill completely after each flush, had to ask for towels, etc The airport transfer is really not free. Four guests were going to the airport; 2 were put in the van but my partner and I were put in a random driver’s car who demanded an exorbitant payment on dropping us off at the airport saying he had no business with the lodge.
