The Equus Review

Formerly the Hawaii Polo Inn, now under the management of Aqua Hotels and Resorts, this small boutique hotel has been renovated and upgraded into a very comfortable inn within walking distance of the Ala Moana Shopping Center, Waikiki Beach, and the Hawaii Convention Center. All but one of the modest-sized rooms are shower-only, and studio suites are proportionately small but have microwaves and hot plates. A few years ago, the management added additional studio units (with kitchenettes, two-burner stove, dishwasher, and microwave) next door at the Aqua Marina Hotel. Warning: Ala Moana Boulevard is very noisy; ask for a room in the back or bring earplugs. Also, the neighborhood can be a little dicey after dark.

Facilities:
Tiny outdoor wading pool

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
