Aloha everyone,
We are staying at Mercure Hotel Quito. It is a 4 star business class establishment and the 3 of us have two large suites with fabulous mountains and city views.
Hotel laundry services are for convenience of guests. My quick calculations based on their list which charges $2.00 per pair of socks, it would run to $100 for the first week of our stay.
Thankfully Jeff is a lot more proficient using mobile apps. He found Lavandería Mr. Jeff, where they can do pick up and delivery services to our hotel. To establish our account, Jeff & I took two bags of clothes. The clerk weighed the bags and charged $12 for washing, folding and delivery within 24 hours.
BTW, Ecuador is one of the several countries whose official currency is US dollars.
Aloha -- Cathi
