Frankman hotel — Hotel in Tabora Region

BEWARE!!!!! On 02/28/2020 My laptop, an HP Envy and two cameras a Nikon D750 with a 70-200 VR lens attached and a Nikon P1000 were stolen. Our door was an electronic locking system. We are convinced the robbery was an inside job. The total value of the items was over $7,500 USD not counting the information on the laptop and the priceless photos captured on two cameras. The owner was to come and talk with us -- he never showed up. The police stated that the hotel is in violation of their camera surveillance laws. No cameras in the room hallways.

The personnel's unfriendly attitude made...

We were there for 9 days and on the last day our laptop and two very expensive cameras were stolen. We were at breakfast, in the hotel, when the theft occurred. We asked if the hotel had surveillance cameras and we were told "NO." The owner was to come and talk with us and never showed up. The daily rate may be cheap but the overall cost was very expensive. Over $7,500 USD value was stolen. I do not recommend this hotel. Laptops and cameras can be replaced, but the priceless images are lost forever. Additionally, the hotel's FREE WiFi was virtually useless because of its spotty...
