The staff were very friendly but not efficient. We asked to have our room done abt 1 pm. Upon our 6 pm return it was not done. We asked to at least have more coffee & cream pods. After dinner at 8 pm we had to go to the desk and ask again. They gave them to us and we took them to our room. As for the room itself, it was nice but outside traffic noise was loud as was a local rooster who crowed abt 5 am.

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.

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!!

The staff at Equus is top-notch! Lincoln, Radiant, Miss Renee, and Matt at the bar were all welcoming, friendly and helpful. Made for a nice vibe and felt very comfortable during the stay. The hotel was very convenient for all we did—walkable to the beach and dining options! Would stay here over any of the other busy hotels.
