About The Equus

Equus Hotel has a unique history that gives rise to its name and equestrian theme. Unlike any other hotel in Waikiki, it is rooted in the elegant and exciting sport of polo and inspired by Hawaii’s fascinating paniolo history.

Through the hallways of the hotel, guests can get a glimpse of paniolos in the old days through vintage family photos.

The hotel is owned by the Daileys, a local family with equestrian roots. Mike Daily was born and raised in Oahu surrounded by horses and polo culture. The history of The Equus dates back to the 1950s, when Mike’s father, Fred Dailey, built and opened the iconic Waikikian Hotel.

Back then there were only a handful of hotels in Waikiki.

On the heels of World War II, Fred helped revive the sport of polo in Hawaii from its war-time pause by forming the Waikiki Polo Club in 1956.

The Waikikian was a major sponsor of polo in the 50s and early 60s and hosted all the visiting players and teams, including Great Britain’s Prince Charles.

Meanwhile, Fred had a role in building the Old Driftwood Hotel in the mid-60s. When the Waikikian was sold in the late 1970s, the polo connection with a Waikiki hotel was lost until Fred’s son, Mike, assumed ownership of the old Driftwood Hotel in 1990.

After multiple renovations and the care that only a family-owned and operated business can provide, the hotel was re-named The Equus Hotel. The Equus was lovingly designed by Mike’s wife, Becca Dailey, who created the distinct flavor and charm of the hotel.

Becca received the BIA Renaissance Building and Remodeling Award for the redesign.

To this day, Mike, Becca, Devon and Mariah Dailey continue to operate The Equus, which still serves as the headquarters for the Hawaii Polo Club.

Each year, The Equus hosts a variety of visiting teams and players from around the world and shares the history of the inspiring paniolo with its guests.

With a stay at The Equus, you'll be centrally located in Honolulu, a short 6-minute walk from Ala Moana Center and 11 minutes by foot from Fort DeRussy Beach Park.

The Equus Hotel is a unique boutique hotel in a good location. We chose it as our before and after lodging when we took the NCL Pride of America cruise around the Hawaiian islands. Check in was easy. There is a bar on site that also serves breakfast. Most of the bartenders were friendly and competent. A unique perk is free tickets for a Sunday polo match. I'd stay thee again.

Enjoyed the three night stay off the main drag area. The bar was a nice - a local area hang out. Good music and great coffee ☕️ served in the morning. Easy walk to nearby ABC store and Hilton Hawaiian Village - plus the mall. I recommend for a short stay. Mahalo

Great place to stay definitely an older hotel on the strip but owned locally which is nice to know. Loved the location and would definitely stay here again, only thing was you can tell they mainly do spot cleaning for what can be seen, losts of dust and debris behind our beds and on AC, didn’t bother our stay at all though!

For a boutique hotel this place was great! The staff was amazing! Everyone I encountered was friendly, helpful and really made me feel welcome! Room was clean, comfortable and quiet. Love the hotel bar! It’s the kind of place you hang out in and chat with other guests. Prices for food, drink and lodging are all reasonable. The only down side is parking. Only 17 spaces available on site, otherwise you have to park across the street in a garage. If you don’t mind not being right on the beach then this place is perfect for a Hawai’i visit!

This was a small hotel located west of the Waikiki Beach. However, if you are doing any boat related adventures, it's the perfect location. Also, walking distance to the Ala Moana Mall. Eggs n things is around the corner, Goofy's is across the street. The Hilton Hawaiian is across the street and has all the things you want.

The room: I had the executive King one bedroom. The hotel is older and there are some repair needs, but everything was perfect for a place to relax in between activities. I highly recommend the bus Holo pass and catch the bus everywhere . The bus stops right by the hotel.

The cafe, delicious grilled cheese and ham and cheese croissant.. available up to 10 pm! Delicious coffee drink ( iced latte) too.

Staff, friendly. Lincoln did greet us oddly by saying, Good luck to you today, your room might not be ready yet... But, overall a pleasant staff.

Cleanliness, okay, so yes there's a little dust, yes it has an ocean old age smell, yes the paint is peeling in some place, and the pool was a little murky. But...... It is so quaint and you're not spending all day in there. I was so comfortable and felt like I was in a home away from home. Hawaii is a tropical paradise, enjoy a local feel.

The bed, it's was so comfortable and soft. They cleaned my room everyday. It was the perfect place for our vacation.

Cheryl was super helpful at check-in! Lincoln was great when I had an issue! The guy at the bar; I think his name was Val or something was rude!

I definitely would NOT stay here again! If you’re looking for a cheap place to stay, by all means make that reservation.

The hotel is very conveniently located and there’s an ABC store on the corner. You can walk to the beach and the Ala Moana Center in less than 5 minutes!

Room extremely comfortable and very clean. Staff is the most helpful staff I have ever had in a hotel. Came in after multiple layer overs and late running flights. The staff helped me with luggage both taking it to my room and to the car the next morning. By the time I reached the hotel I had either been sitting in an airport or flying for over 24 hours. Did not have any breakfast, too tired to think about eating.

Friendly and helpful staff - both on the phone pre-visit (to me) and then, as I observed, helping another guest with activity options....
Rooms are more than adequate - comfortable and as needed. Hotel is within walking distance to plenty, yet away from main crowds....
Second time I have stayed there, and plan to stay there again.

For anyone who wants a taste of the old Hawaiian style Waikiki, this place is for you. Locally run with a staff that exudes ALOHA!! Convenient location to shopping and sightseeing. Walking distance to most locations. A hidden gem! Great little bar and hang out spot. Will definitely stay here again!

We absolutely loved our week long stay at the Equus. Their location and price are just unmatched and all the staff were extremely welcoming and pleasant to deal with. Supporting a local boutique hotel over one of the large chain resorts is a huge plus.
We stayed in the queen room which came with an unexpected balcony, the bed was soft and comfortable and the airconditioned room made for a undistrubed sleep.

It is important to note that the hotel is right on Ala Moana Blvd, so you will experience traffic noise, however, this did not bother us at all and the sliding door did a good job of keeping the room quiet.
The parking lot is small and can be difficult to manuever in so if you are renting a car keep this in mind.
Our TV also seemed to be in store preview mode, so there was random spec graphics showing on the side of the screen periodically. But who goes to Hawaii to just watch TV in their hotel anyway?

Overall this hotel is full of charm and character! From the freindly hotel bar staff creating a pleasent environment to enjoy a drink in the open air patio, to the creaky elevator and the equestrian styling throughout.
The Equus can certainly be a mixed bag if your expectation is for a white washed, pristine, resort vacation. But if you are looking for a charming place to hang your hat on your island adventure, the Equus cannot be beat.
We hope to be back again.

So this property is advertised on Expedia very nicely. What they don’t tell you is that the parking sucks. Having traveled by myself; I didn’t appreciate that as the parking lot that I ended up in was across the street next to the red lobster. The one right next door that they advertised was not available. This was especially frustrating when on the very first night this caught me by surprise and I didn’t get any help from the receptionist as he had hip surgery and could not walk down. Also need to note that I was glad that I didn’t have my handicapped husband with me cause there were stairs and no way to get to elevator to get to room.

My partner and I were in town for a convention and stayed at The Equus for a 8 nights. The building is a bit older/outdated, but everything was functional and clean. We had a lot of luggage - the staff was kind and accomodating helping us arrange deliveries, as well as help carry our boxes up the stairs to the elevator. They were accomodating at every turn, truly helping us enjoy our stay in Honolulu. The bed in our room was soo comfortable and we slept soundly every night. The housekeeping staff was also very nice and our room was well-equipped with everything we needed (towels, fridge, great AC).

This quaint hotel is well managed and it’s a great value considering other more “luxurious hotels” offer some better accommodations but for a ton more money. Staff was excellent and helpful with locating tourist spots nearby. Easy walk to one of the largest malls with never ending stores and places to eat. Easy to get to cruise port and on a Main Street which has a lot of options for getting around via local transit. It’s old but the charm is unique. I would stay there if the opportunity arises.

This is a charming boutique hotel that offers a quieter, more simple experience without a lot of extra amenities. While the property is a bit older, it is very clean and well maintained. What truly makes this hotel stand out is the staff—they are incredibly welcoming and go above and beyond to help with anything you need.

The pool area is beautiful, although it isn’t heated and can be a bit cold. That said, my son didn’t mind at all! The rooms are somewhat small, and the beds are on the firmer side, which may not be for everyone. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this hotel and would happily stay here again.

The first thing that went wrong was the room key. It was one of those tap to enter rooms and it was very difficult to get it to open. The second thing that went wrong was the air conditioner, it was very weak. We complained to the front desk and they told us that that’s just kind of how most of the units are and you have to keep it at a certain temperature and it should improve after 15 minutes, well it didn’t improve. The third thing that went wrong was the shower was clogged. The mini fridge was also dirty. Another thing the window covers were broken. The room service was not that good. They didn’t really vacuum and they didn’t really clean the room. This place is very expensive and for the money we paid we were expecting better room conditions and better service from the front desk. The front desk was not very helpful. They were nice, but you can tell they didn’t want to deal with me and I was being very respectful. We got lucky that the room door broke and they couldn’t fix it, so they were forced to give us another room, which was slightly better because the air conditioner was working in that unit stronger than the first unit also because we didn’t have a balcony. It was a little bit more spacious. I recommend trying another location before you come here. The only good thing about this location is that it had a lot of good stuff around it. It’s close to a lot of restaurants and stores and close to that huge shopping mall.

The hotel itself was excellent exactly what I wanted not in the Waikiki area a little more off the beaten path close to beaches shopping food Etc. The welcoming and front desk staff were wonderful. Housekeeping on the other hand needs remedial work. Six out of 10 days they didn't even make our bed. Didn't replace toilet paper so we had to use tissues. When they did bring us more toilet paper on the next visit they put it up on the shelf and didn't fill the empty roll. We found wadded up receipts from 2 days before we arrived on the floor aside the bed, indicating to me that the room had never been vacuumed. They have a coffee machine in the room and refilled the coffee the first three days, but didn't refill it after day three so day three through 10 we had to go out and buy our own coffee. The bathroom floor was never swept or washed in the time we were there, and the bathroom shower and bathroom sink were never wiped down during our whole 10-day stay. This could be a great place if they get their housekeeping up to Snuff.

I have stayed here 5 times in the past and always loved the small boutique. I even recommended it to others, but this time it seemed like a low-budget motel. The bathroom was dirty, and there was sand in the shower on day 1. We complained, and then it was cleaned on day 2. After we came back from being out all day on Day 3, we came back and it looked like someone had been lying in our bed after it was made. I told the front desk and she said, \"I was just lucky to be able to come to Hawaii because not everyone is as fortunate\", and said she would let the boss know. The parking was difficult this time also because if you don't get there by 6 pm, they make you park in the condo parking lot next door. Just inconvenient and time wasted for all these things. I have always been able to park in their spots, but now they oversell spots and it's impossible to park with a line of cars in front of the parking spots. I tried but didn't want to scratch my car or anyone else's. Their answer to this was, \"Oh, you don't know how to back into park?\" I said yes I do, but I can't curve in if there is a car in front of me too.

There was no boss to talk to, but the lady in the morning returned our last two nights' parking, and we had to find parking elsewhere.
Needless to say, I'm very disappointed and won't be returning or suggesting this hotel anymore.

Beds were clean and comfortable as we remembered. Unfortunately our room was dark and dingy this time. The room we had was good but could use some upgrades. Toilet and shower did not look clean most likely because of their age. Some new paint on the walls and updated lighting would improve the experience.

This is one of the last Kama'aina owned hotel. Older but so much charm. Pub food with coffee and limited breakfast options. Everything is really tasty. Lincoln and the rest of the staff were so wonderful to us. We felt like family not customers. Right next to the Marina, walking distance to tons of shopping. Close to Queen's medical. This is my new go to hotel when staying overnight after getting healthcare. This is the 3rd hotel I have tried in this price range for overnight stays. This by far the best one. Smaller pool right nest to the bar and pub food. So well thought out. Just loved the place.

This hotel is wonderfully no-nonsense! While you won't have a five-star spa and Michelin-starred room service on property, it's clean and comfortable with basic modern amenities (WiFi, cable, parking) and the staff are courteous. The decor is unique, the bar & cafe at the pool has a good variety of drinks and fare. The pool is crystal clear, albeit cold (it's not heated and because the buildings are close to each other, the sun doesn't hit it). Shell out the extra dough and get a suite with a balcony or on a higher floor.

This hotel has a unique layout that starts with a stairway up into a bar area and a lobby off to the right that is more of an office. I have stayed here twice. It has enough comfort, location, and safety for the price. It is in between Waikiki and Ala Moana mall area. I was only in town overnight so price was more my concern than frills.
I like it fine and will stay again on one of my layovers.
The only hiccup for me was the hotels.com price was supposed to be inclusive of all fees and taxes and I got dinged for a $25 resort fee. I came in at 11pm and didn’t want to argue the point so I will see what hotels.com says and hope for the little refund. It is a good place if you are a walker as it is on the edge of two good walking areas.

While the room was clean and fairly quiet, the carpets really could use a deep clean. We were surprised to come back after a day out to discover our bed had been made, something we haven't experienced in quite some time, so that was nice, and fresh towels were provided when we left some for cleaning on the following day. Most of the staff were quite friendly, with the exception of the bartender who provided our \"welcome\" drinks on our final evening, making comments about having to fix \"the most difficult drink\" of the free options for me and just generally unfriendly compared to the other terrific bar staff we had encountered during our stay. Biggest complaint is the parking. Expedia's listing makes it sound like there is on-street parking close by which is completely inaccurate and misleading! There is no such thing! And The Equus has very limited parking available. We were \"lucky\" enough to secure their last available spot, at $30 per night. After traveling to Oahu I get that parking in the area is at a premium; however, I don't appreciate being misled and having to fork over more money than expected.

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the multiple check-in issues and poor service I experienced during my stay at the Equus Hotel for 5 nights

My stay consisted of three separate bookings for a total of five nights:

Booking 1: Original booking for 3 nights.
Booking 2: Added 1 nights .
Booking 3: Added 1 more night

On 1st night, I called the hotel at approximately 1:26 p.m. to inform the front desk that I would be arriving that evening and consolidating my bookings. The day-shift staff member confirmed that this was not a problem and assured me I would be checked in for all five nights upon arrival.

However, the check-in process proved to be highly unprofessional:

First night Check-in: The night-shift front desk associate only checked me in for a single night, forcing me to return the following day to check in again.

Second days Check-in:The same front desk associate questioned why I had multiple bookings and again attempted to check me in for only one night. When I requested to be checked in for the remaining four nights, she asked, \"Why are you being difficult?\"

This is an unacceptable level of service.

No guest should have to check in daily for a continuous stay. The associate's hostile and unhelpful attitude was inhospitable and created a deeply frustrating experience.
