My boyfriend and I are a dual military couple and he suprised me with a vacation to Hawaii. We arrived in Honolulu to find that our original hotel was not fit for human occupancy. We called about 15 other hotels and they were all full. We stumbled upon the Equus on the internet and Clinton was able to accomodate us... More

When my wife and I read a bunch of reviews of this hotel we were skeptical. Some people were complaining about the bugs, noise of traffic and how the rooms were inadequate. Truthfully we found The Equus to be a bit better than average but does not get the "Very Good" rating. There was nothing that made this establishment stand... More

Let me recommand the equus hotel in Honolulu, because it is out from the center, It is comfortable and clean, the personal is exceptionnal, more friendly and opened in comparison to other hawaiian hotels, we have been. We were satisfied about the price and the breakfast was a nice buffet, but sometimes a lot a people rushed to it. Rene... More

THE MARINA TOWER IS NO LONGER A PART OF THE EQUUS. CONS- When we arrived we thought that it didn't look very nice. You have to walk up a flight and a half of stairs to get to the main lobby. The elevator is right when you walk in so it felt like the staff doesn't have to communicate with... More

This is a very well run, clean, comfortable small hotel located close to the Duke Kahanamoku Beach and the Ala Moana Centre end of Waikiki. A fruit and pastry/ toast, coffee, juice breakfast is perfect for us, a middle aged couple. Each room has a small fridge handy for drinks, fruit, etc. We especially enjoy the Hawaiin atmosphere and find... More

I stayed here with my husband for four nights in a standard King room. The room itself was clean and the pictures on the website are pretty true, except not quite as sparkling and new, and a touch on the smaller size. However, it was great to have a fridge to store simple things like water and leftovers, etc. The... More

We were booked at the start into the Tower (through some error on our part) and after a brief friendly chat with Rene we were changed to the Equus. Our room was cozy and clean. For the price we were paying this was ideal. The staff are really friendly and helpful and always seemed to walk around with a smile.... More

We stayed on the 4th floor, it was clean, bathroom is clean to a 2-3star standard. We had a hairdryer and no bed bugs. Interior of the rooms are boutique style cane furniture. Good if you are on a budget. Car parking is average, as most other hotels charge car parking as well. For the closeness to Waikiki and to... More
