Nice and clean
Nice room and place, good service but a bit noisy because the main street is right across. Very good bed and ac. Beautiful shower and great hot breakfast with eggs and sausage plus waffles.

For a non-chain hotel I think the owners have done a great job. We liked all the historic house racing murals.

Great Stay!
We only stayed for a couple of days for an event, but we enjoyed our experience. The free breakfast was a plus! Only complaint, though it wasn't a deal breaker, was we got a lot of the noise from the parking lot and street.

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.

The room was amazing, very nice and clean. The issue I had was with the cable. It kept freezing on every channel all night and it was frustrating watching TV. The people were very nice and friendly.
