Hotel Gran Quitumbe — Hotel in La Ecuatoriana

TL;dr Clean hotel with strange policies and staff.

This hotel requires you leave your passport with them to receive the key, unsettling. The staff told me I could only order in food due to health restrictions and it being past 7 on a Sunday. I easily located an open dine in restaurant a block or so away. I’m pretty sure I was the only guest here and was asked to leave at 10:59am one minute prior to checkout... as a Hilton and Marriot diamond traveler for years this was by far the most prompt and least relaxed check out in my life.

Pluses: Location is the best. Metro, bus hub, airport bus. Hot water in the shower is ok Room overall is ok There are some small shops, google it. Not very near but you can find.

Shower in my room was broken, all floor in the bathroom was full of water, there wasn’t drain for water to go. But I believe, in other rooms could be much better. So I am not taking away a star for this. Overall room is good...

There is nothing to do here. Add $10 to the alleged price of the room. They charge you for everything. $2 per person to use the wifi. They charge for shampoo. No smoking anywhere on the premises and it's a dangerous area. The rooms are cold, the shower is lukewarm. Walking distance to the bus station, which is the only place to eat. They have a mini bar in the room with chips & sodas. I ate a bag of chips and left the .75 cents, which they squabbled over at 5:30 am saying I didn't leave enough change. Ended up giving them more change just to get out of there....
