Frommer's Review
There are two reasons to stay at this hotel. First, the location: It's only a few blocks from the Malecón and close to all the major attractions in the downtown area. Second, the gorgeous swimming pool: Take one look at the magnificent waterfall cascading into the clear blue water and you'll feel as though you are in a tropical resort. It provides a great escape from the heat, noise, and pollution of Guayaquil. Unfortunately the rooms, though comfortable and generously sized, aren't as fancy as the pool. The walls are a bit thin, so to avoid hearing your neighbors as they traipse through the hallway, request a room as far from the elevator as possible. This hotel is not as luxurious or well-kept as the Hilton Colón or Oro Verde, but it does offer similar amenities, and for the price it's a great deal.
Facilities:
3 restaurants; 2 bars; outdoor pool; 2 air-conditioned squash courts; exercise room; Jacuzzi; sauna; small business center; salon; 24-hr. room service; massage; laundry service; smoke-free floors; executive/club floors; free Wi-Fi

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
