Waikiki Monarch Hotel

Getto

It was close to food and beach

Looked good in the pictures but once we arrived it was obvious that it was nothing like the photos. Paint on the walls were patch jobs with different colors and can't even properly patch a hole in the wall. Floors were gross and stained.

Decor was outdated for the price being charged

On the upside the AC worked well and the view from the room window is great.

There were cockroaches in the room when we walked in, everything was dirty, and we waited over an hour at the front desk when we arrived for someone to find the person to check us in and give us a room key. Their website says that there's WIFI but you can only use it in the lobby (no in-room WIFI). Charges more than the advertised price when you arrive (they add an "amenity fee"). Drunk people were wandering about everywhere from the nightclub downstairs. And employees at restaurants near the lobby heckled anyone who walked by.

booked rooms for staff of my company. they came in late, gave my name. hotel insisted on calling me to verify their reason. then forced me to log into booking site to change names of guests. at time of booking, this should have been an option. the whole things wasted a lot of time late at night before an important day. very frustrating and ridiculous.

Functional, convenient, no-frills

Economically priced with only a short walk to the beach. Excellent French bistro on ground floor serves unique breakfast and brunch. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean, bed was firm, and amenities were functional.

Hot tub was broken, though staff thought it was open. Room was small with outdated décor. Toiletries were limited.

parking was outrageous, no one cleaned our room. no maid service

you have good view of the city and and the mountain. staff is great and helpful. security is good.

I didn't have any problems checking in or out. Things were easy.

The room I was staying in was very close to the room next to us. Walls were thin and we could hear everything. The interior decorating (painting) at the hotel is poor and seems very old.

Service, good beds

Room 2316 (or 2416?) was a shocker for noise - the elevator created an intermittent metallic clang each time it was used throughout the night.

Helpfull staff, good room, clean enougth, many utilities in room (Microwave, refrigerator, cafeteria, TV, hair drier).

Half the rooms in the hotel are apartments that people live in and the other half is for hotel purposes.

I like that it was clean and that you didn't have to walk far to your room. I like that this hotel had a pool. Not all hotels have pools. I like that you didn't have to walk far to get to the elevator unless you wanted to and that you needed a key to get into the elevator and up to your room. Security in that sense made me feel safer, especially when you're traveling alone.

I do not like the parking charges. It is crazy enough that you have to pay for the room. The hotel should make parking for guests staying at the hotel free or very nominal. $14 a day is a pretty high parking charge. If you're staying for five days, the parking can exceed the price of one night's stay. That's rediculous! Also, the check-in for guests is not accomodating to guests. I did not like it that I couldn't pay for the parking charges with my room charge. I had to find a place that would give me cash at a time when banks are closed. I did not have a debit card with a pin number and I couldn't use my credit card to pay for parking. I was tired and I just wanted to lie down and relax but I had to run through hoops first. blah
