To begin with, and thankfully I did read this BEFORE I came to Ecuador. The Hotel has absolutly NO sign that read Equador View Inn. There is a very small blue sign near the faded out address sign that reads: FLACSO RESIDENCIA. No one has any idea in the world where it is. The taxi drivers dont care about the street names or addresses, they just drive aimlessly. Even printed out the driving directions from the airport, they didnt even look at it! Finally found it at 2am, pitch dark, gate locked. I rang the bell as Ireached through the gate till some angry man came and opened the door rubbing his eye(I woke him). I tried to give him my reservation and he didnt even want to see it. I am pretty sure there were NO other guests in the hotel. he carried my bag up three flights of stairs we walked through an unlit hallway, he open the door dropped my bag and began to walk away(angrily)I stopped him and told him Ineeded a taxi at 7am. He only said ok and quickly left me. The room was to be a queen bed(NOT) it was a smaller than a twin, hard as a brick of a bed!! Ther were two pull down shades in the corner windows. The room was about 8x6. The shower was 3 square feet but I did NOT get to take a shower because there was NO hot water!!! There was no alarm clock. PLEASE Do NOT GO THERE. EXPEDIA needs to know this and take them off their list of hotels!!I am a single white woman. VERY SCARY!!!!!
