You are not allowed to park in front to take you bags out, the front door parking ONLY FO HOTEL’s shuttles, very stupid and they actually asked you to park down the hill. Horrible front door service, people are very rude not well trained or educated.

Sheraton Guayaquil Hotel
Wonderful. Clean. breakfast was fantastic. Close to the mall and airport. Only thing is shuttle is every hour and you have to schedule it, so we had to take uber to get there ($5) and then we scheduled free one for next flight.
