Hotel Francisco

I arrived in Manta without having any idea where I was going to stay or what I was going to do in Manta. Hotel Francisco is located right near the Reina del Camino and the Flota Imbabura bus stations and I found it as I was walking around looking for a place to stay. The second I walked through the door I was greeted with warm smiles and very helpful staff. The price was incredibly reasonable and the rooms were clean and spacious. They had free hot coffee and snacks in the mornings and great wifi. The staff members made sure that I was not ripped off by taxi drivers and they were very knowledgeable about Manta and the surrounding cities/beaches. They also helped me find a cheap place to go paragliding and they arranged everything for me. Staying here was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is in Manta and when I return, this will be the only hotel that I will stay in in all of Manta.
