“Equus Hotel”

Reviewed 12 June 2013

Very friendly staff. Friendly atmosphere, close to shopping, and a short walk to the beaches. Staff was very knowledgeable about the area, and advised us on places of interest to check out. I would visit this place again.

I was told that they could not cancel my reservation since I did not have one. I checked on the credit card used to guarantee the room and found out that they are... More

Based on other reviews, I stayed here for 2 nites in late May, 2013. It is clean, the staff friendly, but it is a 2-star hotel. It has no unloading area. The small 7-stall parking area is open (re; subject to break-in). You have to haul baggage from there and up a steep flight of steps to the hotel's single,... More
