As Peace Corps Volunteers, my husband and I like to majorly splurge every few months to clean up and take mini-trip to the US for a night by locking ourselves in the JW Marriott. It is always worth every penny. I leave feeling fresh and re-charged, ready to take on the many challenges of living and working in Ecuador. The... more

If you have wondered what separates a Marriott from a JW Marriott, consider this hotel the JW barometer. While the differences are not substantial, they are certainly notable. From the attentive bellmen to the responsive front desk to the twice-daily housekeeping visits, the service is generous and cordial. The rooms feature flat screen televisions of monumental proportion with a broad... more

Loved the hotel. We were with a tour group going on to the Xpedition in the Galapagos. Everything was top class. Bfast room opened at 5:30a and the selection is excellent. We had a king size bed, huge bathroom, plenty of towels and hot water. Location is not very good but we were taken every place by tour bus. more

This hotel was just average. Stayed there for two nights in July. Booked the hotel with a breakfast package and they kept trying to charge us for the breakfast. I needed a needle and thread and don't carry them anymore. Unfortunately, they do not have airport pickup. The rooms are a little dark. Breakfast was very good and the pool... more

We stayed in this hotel in July, 09 for 6 nights. Over all it is good. However, they charge extra for everything. They charge more than $16 for 24 hours of internet if you connect your own computer in your room. They charge more than double for most tours. You just pay more, you do not get more, since tour... more

I stayed at the Quito JW Marriott on 2 separate occasions in June, 2009. The first prior to traveling to Otavalo and the 2nd after returning from the Galapagos. The hotel is typical of what you can expect from Marriott - excellent service and top-quality rooms. My room was on the 8th floor and looked out over the huge pool.... more

This was a near-perfect hotel experience and I would be very hard-pressed to find anything to criticize. The rooms are clean, the staff is prompt and helpful. Bell-boys are especially so. Their efficiency is beyond praise. The hotel is not far from major attractions in the city: a ten minutes taxi ride will take you to the Old Town area.... more

Rooms were exactly what you'd expect based on the name and what you see in the hotel's website. Reception staff was attentive and professional, restaurant and bar staff were friendlier. Food at La Hacienda was good, but nothing outstanding. There are enough excellent options a taxi ride away that this was not a problem. Ask for rooms that have a... more

The more you pay for a room the more they nickel and dime you. You have to pay for internet, they charge you $6.00 US for a bottle of water. The taxis and tours are triple what you can get outside the hotel. The rooms are nice and comfortable but getting old. They need to change the courtains and the... more
