I was looking for a decent place to stay for 2 nights on my way to the Florida keys that wouldn’t cost me an arm and a leg. This place was a real surprise. I could not have been happier with the room, staff, location, breakfast and price of the junior King room. I used to stay strictly at Hampton but they have out priced themselves. I highly recommend this hotel!

Surprised but pleased

My initial encounter was not quite pleasant with the young man who checked me in. Superficial. But Ms Kim made up for it. The kitchen staff was very pleasant. Good breakfast.The pictures you see are real. Nicely renovated beautiful courtyard, comfortable beds, clean, I like the laminate floors. My only downside was, there were tournaments going on and the children got quite noisy at night once they returned. But my second night got better when they were asked to silence the noise. Very nice hotel for the price compared to the nearby brands. I would visit again but making sure no group activity is going on next time.

Great 2 night stay on business

I loved the Equus Inn for my 2 night stay. It was comfortable and had good amenities for the price. My ONLY complaint is that the TV buffered the whole time so it was hard to watch much. I'm guessing it was a WiFi issue since they are smart TVs.
