An old hotel but you can see an effort to upkeep it like in most Waikiki, what's outstanding is the friendliness of the staff overall which makes you forget about the old facilities.

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
