Excellent stay in Quito at JW Marriott. Check in was very efficient and our room for three was large and nicely appointed. The spa and fitness area was one of the best I’ve used in any hotel. Breakfast buffet excellent. All in all a very nice and relaxing stay.

ibis Quito
Easy check in. Great price for the location and fantastic staff. Breakfast is very good but fills up quick. My only comment is that the staff in the restaurant wasn't very attentive and usually on their phone. But overall I'd come back here in a heartbeat.
