Nice hotel with Average Facilities very close to Arusha Airport
Pros:

The Hotel building was nice, with Greenery totally around the building. The hotel was close to Arusha airport, just 10 minutes drive

Cons:

The Hotel facilities were basic - like no Fan or AC in the room, it will be extremely difficult during summer for someone to stay. The hotel was completel empty when I went so it was a bit scary. The food - Dinner/breakfast was very very average. The pictures & facilities shown on Booking.com did not match what the hotel actually offered.
