"I expected more for the price. There wasn’t any amenities except breakfast which was subpar. Staff was friendly during check in, but that was it. The location is on a hill. Not fun with the high altitude."

I loved the city and feel I only scratched the surface on what there is to do around there.

Mostly felt safe. Great Metropolitano hospital treated my partner for injuries. Lots of taxis. Some turn off meters late at night and try to overcharge. Nice national museum.

Quito was a great place to visit. We liked the customer service experience as they did not make us feel like they were doing us a favor for doing their job, like we have experienced in other countries. We look forward to returning.
