- Find out what had me quoting 80's hair band "Whitesnake" at this budget border hotel in the town of Macará on the Ecuador Peru border! Hotel aside, this may be the easiest Ecuador/Peru border crossing.

I’m trying to like your video but can’t for some odd reason this morning, TH-cam won’t register them since yesterday. Its fantastic to see you two again 😊
Thanks a million for tuning in and for always being there to support us H In The Groove. We're fairly sure your Like has gone through. We really do appreciate it. 🤗🤗
Man that’s the best deal ever
Hi Allen. It's so lovely to hear from you. There are some great budget deal hotels out there. For us travelling is a great way to spend our Leader Creek bucks 😉. We hope to see you at LCF again this summer and we hope you're keeping well. Happy New Year Allen 🎉🎊.
Keep tilting at windmills dear Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. Adorable.
Thanks a million Chicken. Right now we've been battling fog and cold for almost 2 weeks and... it's all too real! Oooooodles of Love and Hugs, Fi and Jerry xx 🥰❤️🥰❤️
One concern I would have is who the neighbours would be at that price point. I would worry about sketchy residents. (I once ended up in a crack motel in St Petersburg Florida - one of the worst nights of my life).
You mentioned researching hotels - if they aren't on the booking sites, where do you get your info?
Indeed, I [Jerry] worry about uncouth and/or boisterous neighbors at hotels. We've had some doozies in the USA as well - a lot of flop house-type hotels and motels over the years. Having said that, they all haven't been bad.
Like we say in the intro, _many_ of the hotels we stay at aren't on booking sites. Some of them are, like the one we're in at the moment. We researched a few booking sites which featured this hotel, browsed photos and reviews, noted the online rate for the particular type of room we wanted and then walked in off the street and were quoted a lower rate.
We also use Google Maps to research hotels by hovering over the map, clicking on the pink hotel icon and browsing photos [often from the hotel _and_ guests] and guest reviews. Sometimes a hotel will link to its website [if it has one] in the google maps info section. The photos we find in the info section are given rough timeframes as to when they were added - a week ago, two months-ago, 2018, etc. These timestamps, along with the photos, are invaluable information. With google maps we can often take a street view of the hotel, with a month and year timestamp on those images. This gives us a sort of glimpse of the neighborhood and what kind of shape the outside of the hotel may be in. Still, a crumbling hotel and/or a dodgy neighborhood may not deter us!
We take some online reviews with a grain of salt - they are sometimes added to plump-up a hotel by owners/friends of the owners or used by competitors to smear a particular hotel - these reviews are often very easy for us to spot, The more genuine ones can be just as easy to spot and are filled with tidbits of helpful information which we use to decide whether or not to pursue a hotel on the ground.
What do you do with your Alaska gear when you travel to a different climate?
We're very lucky in that we get to keep most of our Alaska gear up in Naknek and we're also able to keep the rest of our gear at our long-term house sit in New Mexico.
@@ACoupleofDrifters Thank you for answering my question.
Happy to see you again. I really enjoy your hôtel 's review. I will be in Mazatlan the 15th of January. Looking forward to view more of your vidéos. 😉
Hello Marthe. We hope you had a lovely Christmas 🎄 and a Very Happy New Year 🎉🎊 to you. We 're very glad to hear you're escaping the cold and heading back to the warmth of Mazatlán and catching up with old friends there. We're sure you're looking forward to the break and the comfortable temperatures. Have a brilliant time in Mazatlán. Thanks Marthe for always enjoying our videos. Safe travels. 🥰🤗🥰🤗
Have you ever thought about buying a showerhead and taking it with you? 😅
We can't believe we've never thought of that, but we like your way of thinking. That really is a brilliant idea. Thanks Donald. 😊😊
Well, Hello You Two, This little room reminds me of some I stayed in the interior of panama. Very small and only cold water. But, I still miss them. Thank you both. Take good care.
Hello Roy!
Indeed, Panama features some great budget hotels - we miss them, too. 🥰🥰
