Hilton Colon Guayaquil - Guayaquil, Ecuador     

We stayed here on our way to the Galapagos. The hotel was fine. The room including the bathroom were clean. The restaurants were average and there was really no service to speak of. The convenience to the airport must be the hotel's charm. The pool was definitely a hit with the kids.

We stayed here for one of two extra nights after a plane crash in Quito created havoc and our flight was cancelled for two days in a row in Guayaquil. I posted about the other night at the Sheraton, but made a mistake when I said we stayed at the Marriot - it was actually here at the Hilton. We had an amazing suite on the club floor which included complimentary cocktails, horsd'ouvres, and buffet breakfast in the morning. Our room was perfect - quiet and comfortable. Although we did not have time to spend at the pool, the are looked really nice and there were quite a few people at the pool area. The staff were very plesant and accommodating. This hotel is right near the airport and and mall. It is a ways from the downtown are and the malecon which is a better area to stay in if you are in the are for an extended amount of time.
