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.
