The staff are wonderful, but the property was currently undergoing some construction, so the parking lot was very restricted on space. However, I was luckily able to park there with the assistance of some amazing staff. The room was cute and cozy, and clean except for the louvers in the sliding lanai doors, which have never seen a dust rag in their entire lifespan. The top of the canopy bed was also quite dusty, and with dust allergies, it brought on a bit of sneezing that my allergy meds were not quite enough to combat. Otherwise, everything was fabulous. Again, the staff there is wonderful, and I highly recommend this place because of that.

Western Boutique Vibes

The hotel may not look like much from the outside but it has a western boutique feel to it. The room is nice but the main touched area in the room could be cleaner. You can hear the vehicles passing by during the busy hours but we weren’t in our room much during the day. I would definitely stay here again and the bar below is nice especially the evening/night bartender.

LOVE The Equus!

Had a fantastic 4 night stay at The Equus! The staff is amazing and Colette at the front desk is so caring and SO FUNNY! 😆 All the staff were great and they go out of their way to make their guests happy. I highly, highly recommend this hotel! The location is also great, on Ala Moana Blvd on the western edge of Waikiki. FANTASTIC! Will look forward to my stay there again!
