Any current updates on airport hotels? It seems that at least motels are available close by http://www.transitmotels.com/googlemap.html Tripadvisor suggests it is not all that bad. Clean room is important, air conditioning is desirable, the rest doesn't matter much for a few hours stay.

I am about to take TK flight at 4AM after arriving from Zanzibar. It is too long to wait from last ZNZ flight 9pm until 4am in the airport. It is also a bit risky because it leaves no alternatives to get to DAR before TK flight. I would rather consider flying earlier flight or taking a ferry.

Transfer expenses from and to airport would make it $100-150. Advice on cheaper yet still reliable transfer for a big white guy would be greatly appreciated.
