Mr first I was very surprised when I saw my room was perfectly organized and at first I wasn’t sure what or who did organized and cleansed it. Then a day later, I saw one of the workers told me that it was her routine to do some cleaning to make sure the customer was needed. And I would say that is a good service way to go.

This was an interesting property, it is horse/cowboy themed. The staff was very friendly and helpful, greeted with a free drink and has a small selection of food for convenience. Check-in and out was easy, (fee) parking is easy, located close enough to the beach with a short walk. My room was clean and comfortable.

Great location in walking distance of Ala Moana Center and numerous beaches. Hotel entrance is up a flight of stairs with no elevator from street level so beware if you have mobility issues or lots of luggage. There is one (slow and small) elevator from lobby to rooms but it is used by guests and housekeeping so waits can be quite long. Large guestroom had comfy beds but bathroom was tiny with a spartan shower. Our room had an underlying smell of mustiness and furnishings were outdated and worn.

The staff and the Aunties was real life local style, we loved staying there and will definitely make that place a regular when staycationing. The ambience was very soothing and the staff was really kind from the valet parking to the Aunties on the front desk. Also just knowing the history of the place and how that this is one of if not the only hotel that is family owned was very great. Really loved the clean rooms and freash coffeee not to mention the complementary drinks it was awesome thank ypu Equus.

Good location, walking distance to both Ala Moana and Waikiki. Twin rooms are big, clean, and with good amenities. Staff are helpful and friendly. Sound proofing could be better, a lot of road noise heard in the rooms. The single elevator for 10 floors is old and creaks. Property has no driveway, just a street level garage and you have to carry bags using outside stairs to the lobby.
