This is by far the best hotel I have ever stayed in. From being greeted with a glass of ice cold pineapple juice, to being served a plate of fresh cut pineapple when I got to the room, to the friendliest staff ever, I had to double check my reservation to see if I had paid for an executive suite!!...

Jackie was so helpful in everything we needed she was on top of everything she went above and beyond her job duties to make us feel at home! She was so friendly and welcomeing as well! She is a keeper for sure we will go back just to visit her and stay at this hotel again because of her!

Linelle was so very helpful, welcoming and super friendly. She is a keeper. I had a few basic needs before a night out and she not only got me a sewing kit but provided some wonderful conversation and some wine for my husband and I as part of happy hour.. She is a bright star here at Equus.

Very comfortable beds, nice rooms, clean rooms and bathrooms. Good location just 5-10 mins walk to Waikiki beach. All amenities around hotel. Only downside of this hotel was breakfast nothing really to eat in the morning. I have stayed here for 6 nights. Staff and service very good.

This was a beautiful little hideaway. The hotel was well kept, clean and comfortable and the staff was outstanding. Haunani was gracious and all of the staff was friendly and helpful. I loved that this was a small, unobtrusive hotel compared to the overbearing high rises surrounding it. Thank you, Haunani for a beautiful staycation!
