The Equus Hotel Review
This small hotel has been completely renovated with a Hawaiian country theme that pays tribute to Hawaii's polo-playing history. It fronts busy Ala Moana Boulevard, on the ewa (west) end of Waikiki, and is one block from both Ala Moana Center and Ala Moana Beach Park. All rooms are equipped with refrigerators and coffee makers; some have balconies and partial ocean views. The hotel grounds feature a swimming pool and free Wi-Fi. The front desk staff are happy to assist with driving directions to the polo playing fields at Mokuleia and Waimanalo, where guests receive free tickets in season (April through September).
