Guiyang Airport is to the west of Guiyang city, on the toll road to Kaili (and eventually to Hunan).
Arrival and departure are straightforward and easy: it is a small airport with few facilities, but the upside is that it has yet to develop the "talk customer service - rip-off passenger" mentality of most other Chinese airports.
Note that if you are heading east from Guiyang (to Kaili, for example),you should be able to avid going into Guiyang. I undestand that there are coaches eastbound from the airport but I do not know where they stop. (I had a car)

Bloody hopeless. The two taxi drivers I have come across today (at the airport and downtown) had no idea where the Howard Johnson Hotel was (I pronounced the Chinese correctly and neither could use a map. Neither knew the street either. Surprising given that one taxi was actually on it, about 1km away from the hotel)
These guys make Beijing taxi drivers look bright. (Sorry...I am severly irritated with Beijing taxi-drivers these days because they insist in trying to rip me off)
Tips:
1) take a map with you, but forget about using it
2) take the phone number of your destination. Get in the cab. Phone them and give the phone to the taxi driver. Leave the phone with the driver for the journey because he will need to make several calls.
