The Alston Inn is mentioned in 2012/08 MrMeaner - Risky Business in Quito
quote:I landed at UIO around 9pm with no reservation and no transportation planned. Not a problem, I knew Alston Inn would have available rooms, and if they didn't there were places just around the corner. I was quoted $10 by the first driver I encountered. I probably could have paid less by negotiating or walking to the street, but I just wanted to get settled and out for the evening, plus I would only save a few bucks. My room at Alston was $19 for the night.
quote:I always stay in the Mariscal district, usually in a hotel on Juan Leon Mera called The Alston Inn. Juan Leon Mera is not the most secure street and it's the only place in South America where I've been mugged (my own fault for not paying attention after several trips with no issues), so if you're concerned about security, find a place nearby on Amazonas or in a nicer hotel, you'll be saying money on the ladies anyways.
