Holiday Inn ties Wyndham, and it’s the pick if a pet is coming. IHG lists a free shared airport shuttle, an outdoor heated pool with a whirlpool, a restaurant and a pool bar.
The shuttle needs a reservation and is subject to availability — so book it with the room, not at the desk at midnight. The spa and gym come from a photo caption, the thinnest source on the page.
Ask about breakfast when you book. IHG doesn’t mention it.
Book it if
- You want a free shuttle and an early night by the airport
- You’re traveling with a dog or a cat
- You want check-in times in writing
Look elsewhere if
- You want breakfast confirmed
- You want a night in the old town

Landing the morning you fly to the islands? The TCT counter and the bag check come before airline check-in, and Quasar suggests at least two hours if you buy the card at the airport; the airport page has the landing check.
Which terminal
UIO domestic departuresThe morning job here is a flight, not a gangway: the Galápagos Transit Control Card counter, the ABG bag check, then airline check-in, all at UIO before you fly. Holiday Inn is about 2.4 km from the airport in a straight line, measured to Wikipedia’s airport coordinate, not the terminal door. The Quito departure guide has the order of the counters.
