It was very quaint. Staff was friendly. The road noise was loud and there is no elavator from the street to the motel. So we had a friend that had both knees replaced so it was tuff on him getting up the steps and it was quite a few (I didn't count) and you had to carry your luggage up and down. They did get a staff member to help us get them up but leaving a guest helped us.

I really enjoyed my stay at Equus, staff was really friendly and felt like a family oriented hotel. They came everyday to clean our room and restock our towels. I definitely recommend the city view. Also Matt, was a very friendly bartender who helped up go to great places to eat and visit.

Rooms were clean and pretty nice. Beds are very soft. We had a little trouble with the AC it said it was on but it did not feel like it. Parking is a little weird they were under construction so there was only a limited amount of spaces. It’s also super easy to miss the pull in for the parking lot. Staff was AMAZING super friendly and accommodating. The bar was cute and very busy, food and drinks were great. My favorite part was the pool. It’s small and super cold. Like ice bath cold therapy cold. I loved it. We will most def be back next year!

The hotel was in a great location and very clean. Construction was happening in the morning according to a form left in the room, it should start at 8am. At 7:20am there was a worker trying to get into our room despite having the do not disturb sign up. When he couldn't get in, he went next door and started using power drills. We get construction has to happen at some point, but at least stick to the times you alot for it and give them a list of what rooms are occupied.

Convenient and comfortable.

The hotel is older and on a busy street, so it's not quiet. But they great you with a welcome drink at the bar, and the bed is comfortable. We only stayed one night due to flight delays, but the staff was friendly and it was totally sufficient for our needs.
