 | |  |  | Four Points by Sheraton Quito: Thank you, American Airlines Compare Rates NEW! | Satisfaction:  |  |  | |  |
Well, when I boarded my American Airlines flight on a Saturday morning, I thought I'd lay my head on my pillow in Philadelphia that night, but when they started offering free vouchers for volunteers to get off the plane because of too much weight, I decided to jump at the chance. I ended up with a $700 voucher and a free night at the beautiful Sheraton Quito. This hotel is first class and my stay was very pleasant.
It's what you'd expect from a Sheraton. A very comfortable bed, clean and spacious rooms with nice linens and a full bar, high-speed internet connections in every room and all the expected amenities. There are two restaurants and a lobby cafe here as well as a business center, conference rooms, a full breakfast, room service, laundry facilities and a full gym with a spa, jacuzzi and steam room.

| | | | Hilton Colon Quito: Probably the best in town. Compare Rates NEW! | Satisfaction: | | | | |
We were put up here for one night after the flight we were booked on to was cancelled. It was the best place that we stayed in whilst in Quito, without a shadow of a doubt, but I have to say that there was absolutely no way we could've afforded it ourselves. The room was huge as was the very comfortable bed. The bathroom was well kitted out and it even had potable water! Usual extras included TV with sattelite channels. The service was excellent and we were made to feel incredibly comfortable in the short time that we spent there.
It's location isn't too bad idea, being on the edge of the new town, near the museum of the national bank and South American Explorers club house. It's also only a short walk from Gringolandia, with it's internet cafes, travel agents and restaurants. Having said that, if you can afford to stay here, you may not really be looking to check out the local backpacker trail! :)
It has a fantastic view of the park and has the usual impeccible service that you would expect from the Hilton brand. It has a pool, casino and fitness room, if that floats your boat.

| | | | Hilton Colon Quito: Average Spot to Sleep | Satisfaction:  | | | | |
Exterior:
The Colon (I'm not making the name up...)is a towering structure sitting on a main street in Quito with many banks and businesses nearby.
Lobby and Check-in:
Check-in was quite slow at this hotel and the staff in general seemed to be in no hurry to complete things for us.
Rooms:
The rooms at the hotel were typical for an average 3 star hotel, fairly clean, with TV, bed, dresser, and small bathroom. I have to say I wasn’t overly impressed, the bed was firm, and pillows seemed cheap, and there was a fair bit of street noise (including intermittent gun-fire from the street below a couple times).
Amenities & Restaurants:
The hotel restaurant served tasty and relatively inexpensive meals, and I ate most of my meals here. Unfortunately about 2 days after returning I came down with some sever bug and I tend to attribute it to my meals at the hotel.
The hotel also has a large casino in the basement and drinks tend to flow free while you gamble. I didn’t partake but some friends did and the odds seem fairly standard.
There is also a rooftop pool, which is excellent for working on a burn, which happens quickly close to the equator (experience talking). The pool area is nothing spectacular and in fact I felt somewhat bare and deserted in the sea of concrete.
Check-out:
Check-out was a painfully slow, perhaps the slowest I have ever experienced. Granted we were a group of 12, but it was akin to pounding out the bill on stone tablets, time-wise.
Location:
The area is primarily a business area and restaurants/bars are a 5 minute walk. Crime is a problem in Quito so be careful of straying off the main roads. There are also tons of street vendors throughout the day and you can get great deals on wool sweaters and such.
Service:
Service was fairly poor/indifferent overall.
The hotel is near some smaller market type areas, but nothing of great import stands out in my memory. Like I say...pretty average. Leave a Comment Theme: HotelPrice: US$80-120 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Amazonas 110 Y PatriaWebsite: http://www.hiltoncolon.com/

Good service and very friendly. They have loads of local Ecuadorian roses lining the lobby. Located across from a huge park with lots of local shopping markets.
