1. The only downside was parking, which was $18/night I believe but you're going to see that with virtually all the hotels in Waikiki.

"Decent hotel for the money " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/1/2012 Vote

2. The only downside of the Equus was the trail riding that was supposed to be inclusive of our stay; the Hotel did not inform us that we needed a rental car to participate.

3. Overall we enjoyed our stay at the Equus and the benefits far outweigh the downsides.

5. Surprisingly the hotel also had a mini pool but on the downside it closes at 7pm.

"A clean hotel with great staff, but NOT within walking distance to beach " Read full review on TripAdvisor 12/14/2008 Vote

6. The only things on the downside I can think of are; an elevator that could be updated and an $18 a day parking fee but I understand that resort parking fees are the norm in Waikiki.

"Very Pleased With The Equus " Read full review on TripAdvisor 3/2/2008 Vote

7. The only other downside I can think of is that we had to go to the Aqua property next door to do our laundry but housekeeping was using all the washers and dryers to do the sheets and towels so they should really have separate facilities for guests.

8. The downside is parking is expensive and will have to find a side street to park on.
