Terry, look at the bar across the top of this page and click on Travel Itineraries for some hotel suggestions. Holidays…well you can find a list of common national holidays here: http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/ecuador/
However, every city and town has their own individual holidays, so you might want to do an online search for the particular date and locale you will be visiting. If you are making reservations in advance, no worries. But if you plan to wing it, you may want to know what your chances will be to find accommodation. In a quick email to the hotels you’re considering, you could ask about upcoming holidays and if they anticipate being full on any particular dates. May 24, for instance, is a national holiday and I’d expect that long weekend to be busy at the coast, especially, and for there to be long lines for buses, etc.
