Great rate for location. Rooms are small and a little dated but very clean. Best quiet bar in Waikiki. Drinks are hand concocted, no bar mixes in sight. Bartenders are friendly - and the morning bartender makes the best bloody mary's - that and a piece of toast will set you for the day!

We had a short night so my review is probably not the most informative. Loved the hotel, the bar area, the food, the room! We were able to walk to plenty of places from the hotel. There was live music in the evening but the bar area was packed so I wasn't able to sit and enjoy. But I listened from the walkway above - great band!

GREAT low key mom and pop hotel in Waikiki. The last family owned and operated hotel in Waikiki. Nice bar - Matt is a wonderful bartender with lots of knowledge of what to go and see and where to find things while on Oahu. Lincoln and the rest of the front office make you feel like family. Just a warm fun place to stay!!

We had a good experience at Equus. Lincoln and Linda at the front desk were great and offered a variety of good restaurant options. Matt the bartender made a great Old Fashion and was very knowledgeable about the Island and where to visit. We would definitely come again. Parking around the corner at Discovery was only $15. Say Hi to Kim there too.

We didn’t like needing to haul luggage up steps to get into the hotel nor did we like the slow single elevator but it was clean and comfortable. The location is very convenient and the staff is friendly. For this area, it is reasonably priced though be aware that they will add a resort fee even if you prepaid and will not use the small pool.

Overall the stay was good. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Rooms/hallways could definitely use some updating (chipped paint in a few spots etc). Easy walk to Ala Moana Mall and Beach. Very helpful that they stored my luggage on checkout day as I checked out at 11am but my flight wasn’t until 11pm.
