Amazing experience at this hotel. Lovely staff. Ben (the bartender) was super helpful and gave me so much advice as a first time Oahu visitor. I was about 1.5 hours early to the hotel, and Linda, the receptionist, was able to check me in and get me a room. Even met Mike, the owner, who was super friendly! Not a single complaint so far.

The property was nice and the staff very friendly, however you could hear everything from outside and they didn’t have an elevator when you first get to the property, just a long flight of stairs, my bags were to heavy to carry up so I had to put them in a storage area.

Affordable accommodation
We stayed at hilton beach for 3days enjoying the resort then we move to his hotel located right next to it. Equus was a perfect for us. We rented a car and traveled around the island visiting all the amazing sights. The room is cleaned every third day, so keep that it in mind if you are staying for less. Friendly staff and affordable accommodation
