We came and did not expect the location would be in the residential area with a narrow road. I was lucky since I have a good friend that picked me up and dropped me off at the hotel. Other than that, the staff was really kind and there are several small shops where you can buy more water and snacks for your stay. However, you will need shillings (Tanzanian money) for shopping in small shops. I suggest booking the hotel shuttle if your flight is early in the morning.
