The Equus

Location, value, staff, easy access to beach and all Waikiki has to offer. Nice to have a cute little cocktail bar on site as well.

The bed was the best part! Very comfy mattress and pillows, and the sheets were amazingly soft! Breakfast was good

This hotel has so much character especially in a place full of soulless mega resorts. It’s equestrian / cowboy themed and you feel like you are having a unique Hawaii experience when staying here. The rooms are well appointed and fit the theme with wooden furniture and horse-themed decor. The staff were extremely kind and accommodating. We used the beach towels, chairs and hospitality shower during our stay, which was very convenient. There was also live music one night we were there and it was perfect to accompany a drink at the bar. It’s located close to a few more local beach which was perfect, and just our speed. That being said, it’s easy to walk into Waikiki or to Ala Moana. There are a few coffee shops and an ABC store nearby too.

The staff, Lincoln, Renee, and Wilfred were the best with regards to hospitality. Good energy, mannerable, and responsive. Took care of hot water issue, carried and stored .y luggage, gave me extra cookies 😋. The hallway lighting was poor, especially for the safety of women and singles. Rooms on first appearance are esthetically appealing, but the furnishings are worn and dated. However, it did not detract from my comfort. Mattresses could also be upgraded. Only stayed one night, so it's not bad for duration and value.

The position was great for car rental and public transport with CBD so handy for a stroll. The bed was the most comfortable on our trip to the two islands we visited. What really impressed was the atmosphere created by the helpful staff and being helped manage bags up the entry steps from the roadway to lobby by a gentleman we later found out was the owner.
