Stopped here for a delightful lunch - some interesting history here with its connection to the author Somerset Maugham and his book Rain. Very generous sandwiches and drinks served by local charming folk. A step back into the 50’s with the deco and surrounds - well worth a visit.

The first room I was given (309) was infested with roaches. The second (311) had a couple of small ones. There were Raid cans in each, so the problem is known to management/staff. I used it frequently, including over my bags which I kept zipped up at all times when not retrieving items from them, and toughed it out since I was only staying a few days. Also, the WiFi was quite poor, even at their sister hotel Sadie’s by the Sea.

After a brief tour around Pago Pago (correctly pronounced Pango Pango) we were both hungry and thirsty. Avoiding the big M on the other side of the street we decided to try Sadie Thompson’s. It was very busy but with a brilliant atmosphere with a mix of locals and tourists. After a couple of ice cold local beers we ordered some Samoan bar snacks – these turned out to be a large, very hot, fresh loaf and a bowl of delicious dipping oil. Superb! A great place to soak up the local colour. A quick tip – the only reliable wifi was from the local company – search for a network, log on, pay $5 via Paypal and you are away. This proved far easier than trying to find a reliable (or free) connection.

I made 2 separate bookings so we were moved into a new room on the 2nd night. The rooms were very similar. Firstly, the decor is dated. But as a place to stay it's perfectly OK. The bed was comfortable. The air conditioner is new and worked well. Amenities such as tea, coffee, cold water in the fridge were fine. The cable TV has plenty of channels. The wifi access was a little disappointing. Very, very slow but unlimited access. OK for email but not much else. But that just meant more time for relaxing! The hotel restaurant was very good. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The noise from the bar below one of the rooms was a bit loud. It was a good place to stay.

There is minimal parking but the hotel only has about a dozen rooms. It is one of two Sadie's hotels located about a mile from each other. You can charge things at both with your room key for either. The staff is absolutely delightful. They are there to assist your visit in any way possible. Sadie Thompson Inn only has limited lunch and dinner hours. I arrived after a huge storm had knocked out power on the island and some services were not up to par (television). They have an airport shuttle that greets you at the airport and takes you to you hotel and when you are schedule to leave the island it returns you to the airport.

First, the hotel is overpriced for what it is. The rooms have seen better times, and if this was anywhere but this remote island, they wouldnt warrant half the money they cost. Location is right across McDonalds centrally located, but you really do need a car to get around the island. The staff was helpful, and nice, the food in the restaurant decent but pricey. The bar has a pool table. They strictly adhere to the 3pm checkin, and if you are there before, on a Sunday, there is no staff period.

We stayed at the Sadie Thompson Inn for 2 nights. We also enjoyed the restaurant for dinner twice and lunch once-the menu was lovely and provided lots of options for us to choose from. Our room was cozy and the tea/coffee bar was an added bonus! We enjoyed our comfortable stay at the Sadie Thompson Inn!

Sadies Inn (by the streets) is the only restaurant in AS you can get a good ol' Tomahawk steak. Their prices are a bit steep, but I've enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinner there. Shout out to Barb for being an excellent waitress. I could not have lunch there for a year and she would know exactly what I want from the menu. 👌🏾

This charming old Inn has retained its character, whilst ensuring guests are comfortable in well appointed spacious rooms. I was fortunate enough to be in the Sadie Thompson suite, and made a point of re-reading Somerset Maugham's short story, Rain as I relaxed in my sitting room overlooking the busy harbour. Very romantic! Sadie's staff were all incredibly polite, helpful and friendly, going out of their way to ensure we enjoyed our stay in Pago Pago. The free transport to and from the airport was an added bonus. Breakfast isn't available at Sadie's Inn so we strolled down to Sadie's by the Sea where we could charge our food to the room. Excellent service, with generous portions. All in all, a very enjoyable 2 day break in American Samoa.

Large clean room, strong air conditioner, central location and a decent restaurant on site; what's not to like? Was fortunately in town during the Flag Day celebrations and this hotel was a good central location for being able to see the different things going on.
