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

Good hotel
Good location. Very near to the beach. The hotel provided chairs and towels. Stores and supermarket nearby. Nice room, good size and good design. Nice staff, very helpful. The only complain is the 4 percent charge on card payment.

Noisy, would not go again.
The hotel was ok. The noise was sooo loud all night long. The noise at the bar went on till 1, then there were people in the waiting area all night yelling and partying. The concrete seemed to echo the noise, and no one stopped them. It's hard to sleep with that much noise going on outside your door. The desk people were nice, but they go home by midnight I guess.

A new goto for Honolulu
I can not praise the staff enough. I had a 4am check in but nothing was a problem. Great coffee and bagel option for breakfast. Have already told colleagues to use this hotel if more than a quick airport sleepover....Super comfortable bed....all you needing the room.....and just ask for directions...restaurant options etc. Will return for similar 48 hour transits

The best little boutique hotel I’ve stayed at!
One of the most amazing little boutique hotels I’ve ever stayed in and I travel a lot. The people are absolutely fabulous.
The location is perfect.
All the people are fabulous, but Linda in particular goes above and beyond. !

To be honest I found the property itself to be quite nice, however the traffic noise was at times unbearable. From sirens to motorcycles and hot rod cars racing on Ala Moana all night long into the early morning!

The staff were wonderful. They were helpful and kind. The room was okay. Carpet and ottoman need some love (dirty), Hallway to get to room was dark- needs better lighting. The bed was almost like an air mattress. Not my favorite. The room had lots of outdoor noise. Tried to use air conditioner to drown it out. Bathroom was newer and nice. Room and bathroom were small.

I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The staff was first-rate in all respects. A little noisy with racing street traffic but that didn't keep me from sleeping. Easy access to meetings at the Hilton Village.
