We had a very early flight out of Quito and needed a hotel fairly close to the airport just to sleep for a few hours before taking off. We booked Ilalo Garden Hotel because it stated it was ”7 miles from Mariscal Sucre Airport.” We trusted that this information was accurate, however it ended up being more like 15-20 miles, about a 30-40 min drive depending on traffic, which is why I docked them a point. Aside from this, the hotel itself was nice. It is located in a residential area and family owned. Very modern, clean, and safe. It offers a restaurant and little shop to buy local natural goods. We did dine at the restaurant, and while decent, the language barrier created a bit of a confusion and we ended up with items we didn't order, and some incorrect modifications, but I really can't hold this against them. Nice large selection of items though, including wine and beer. The rooms themselves are great. Modern, with very comfortable beds, Tv's, and a safe. They offer a little coffee and water station on each floor which is a nice touch. Bathrooms are spacious with nice high pressure showers and local products for use. My only complaint with the rooms was the plumbing. Our neighbor was taking a shower around 9pm, and it was extremely loud in our room. My guess is the pipes might not be the best, as I have never really encountered this issue in a hotel before. Wifi here was the fastest we encountered in Ecuador, which was a huge plus. Staff was friendly and accommodating. They were nice enough to arrange a driver for us at our 3am departure to the airport. Overall, I would recommend this hotel. Nice, modern and comfortable with good service
