Google Maps was wrong when we booked this. It showed this hotel right in the middle of the Old Town (Centro Historico). We booked from the U.S., and were very surprised when we arrived. It was a long way from anything that a first time visitor to Quito would want to see, to my eyes. The staff, though limited English, was very nice. At least one of the staff (owner?) already seemed to be aware of Google's error when I showed him the map, which was disappointing. The hotel was nice enough, I guess, though the halls and room were very dark. We checked out virtually immediately, and did not stay the night. I do not know, as yet, whether they charged us for the room. We had initially booked two nights through Expedia, and when we discovered the location, we changed to just one night. We only did this because we were waiting on lost luggage from LAN (another story). An hour or two later, we decided to leave anyway, told LAN of the change, and booked at the Hotel Patio Andaluz (nice) right in the historical center.
