We stayed at a superior king suite from June 5-12. The GEM of this 5-star hotel was the STAFF. They were genuinely friendly, never hesitated to help, and were very professional. Transport service from airport was arranged by hotel and was reasonable ($31 one way per shuttle). The facility was very clean and our suite very spacious and comfortable. Hot breakfast was included and provided wide selection. I wished the hotel had AC but fortunately, Quito has "cold" weather this month, so, opening the windows helped (we
were on the 5th floor). The hotel is walking distance to the La Mariscal craft market, Plaza Foch, El Ejido
park, and Santa Clara market. There is quite a lot of restaurants, coffee shops, and groceries in the area.
Taxi to Old town was about $3-4. One strange thing we observed in Quito was after 8 pm, the streets were devoid of people and hotel residents were not encouraged to roam the streets bec of perceived danger. But during the day, the streets were vibrant. My wife and I enjoyed our visit to Quito.
