Get+a+hotel+for+the+night?

We were really tired and didn't really feel like another bus ride, especially because we didn't know where we were going. We got a cab and asked him to take us to a hostel for the night. We had no idea where one was or if he even understood what we were saying, but after about an hour of driving around we found one that was open for us to get a room. We got a room and dropped all of our stuff off, but now we were hungry. So we went walking to find food. We stumbled upon a little restaurant that was still open at 12:30 AM so we got some food and we were happy. The waiter knew English and we got to talking and he asked us how far we had to walk to our hostel. We told the waiter it was about 12-15 blocks and he gave us a very concerned look. He said, "You guys know that this wasn't a very good neighborhood, and that Guayaquil is one of the most dangerous cities in South America." He suggested that we get a cab to take us back. What did we do?

A) Walked back to our hostel? B) Got a cab.
