Top hotels in San Francisco
Hilton Colon Guayaquil
Great hotel, great staff really good location. We unexpectedly got a complementary upgrade to a suite which made it even better given how little we paid for the room. Even without the upgrade if I were going back to that area, I would stay there in the heartbeat.
