Pros:

Nothing really to like.

Cons:

It was cold....it gets quite cold at night in tanzania.
It wasn't very clean. There was a lot of noise most of the night in the immediate area so we didn't get any sleep.....we had to be up early next morning for our safari. We paid $20 each for dinner which was totally inedible. My other have had beef steak and it could have been used for shoe leather. It was just all awful. The staff did apologise that the food was not good and in the end we had a plate of egg and chips. Now, we both love trying out food from different cultures but i think some of it was growing different cultures. We didn't bother with breakfast next morning. We had a room booked the for the night after our safari before catching our flight back to zanzibar next day....I cancelled the room and we found a nice hotel in arusha. Warm and food was great.

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.
