On the outside the Equus Inn is a solid block of grey and red, however inside the hotel boasts modern renovations and exceptional comfort. Greatly enjoyed my stay.

Good:
Room was clean and quiet. Desk staff is friendly. Grounds are well kept.
Bad:
The coffee they serve with breakfast is awful. I would have no hard feelings if ya'll get a decent espresso machine and charge by the cup.
