Springhills is the small, cheap-shuttle option, and the listing is all we have. Hotels.com lists a shuttle at about US$8 a car, free continental breakfast and extended parking at about US$3 a night.
We couldn’t find the hotel’s own site, so none of that scores; it earns 22 on distance.
Landing late? Tell the hotel if you’ll be after 22:00.

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. Springhills is about 6.7 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.

~6.7 km, straight lineAbout 6.7 km from UIO domestic departures in a straight line between our map pins. That’s a ride, not a walk.
Airport bus
Not statedThe hotel doesn’t say where the airport bus stops. With Galápagos bags, a taxi or a shuttle is simpler than a city bus.
