closest hotel to the new airport in Quito

[CHADA BALTRUSCH]

We are flying into Quito and are fling out to Manta the next day. Where is the closest hotel to the new airport? What are the transportation options to and from the airport?

Hi Chad, I posted in this forum about this a couple of weeks ago — let me go back and find the info and copy it for you here…

Chada, here you go:
For those of you traveling into Ecuador via the new Quito airport (which opens Feb. 20), there are a couple of options I’ve learned about for accommodation near the airport. While I wholeheartedly recommend spending time in Quito (you’ll find Quito hotel recommendations in the travel section on this website) I realize some of you may have early morning connecting flights to Cuenca, Manta, Loja, Galapagos, etc.
I am not endorsing these places as I have not stayed in any of them yet, but you can try:

http://www.rincondepuembo.com/ (This one looks as if it may be the closest to the airport.
I’ve also heard that a place called La Marmite may have some rooms — I can only find a website for their restaurant. You can email them for information at marmite@uio.satnet.net.

Thank you for your response. Do you know wht the driving time is from Manta to Jama? and from Manta to Salinas?

From Manta to Jama, I’d guess about two hours or just a bit more. From Manta to Salinas, I think about 4 hours maybe…

By the way, there has been a lot of rain and flooding on the coast recently. I don’t know when you are coming but if it is in the next two weeks you might want to check on the conditions along the coast.

Quito Airport Suites http://airporthotelquito.com/, it is supposed to be just 2 blocks away.  Just opened a week ago.
