The clerk was very personable at check in, but it turned out that they had assigned me to room 1801, which sits beside an active elevator shaft! In addition to hearing noises all night, I was forced to contend with a non-flushing toilet. I tried calling the front desk to report it, but the phone didn’t work.

Great spot, amazing views. The staff was exceptionally friendly, the little karaoke restaurant and bar was a lot of fun and the burgers were good. It is not the Marriott, it’s a different kind of nice. It’s a conveniently located hotel that’s across the street from a bunch of food trucks and it has one of Waikīkī’s best kept secret a traditional French restaurant open for brunch. The biggest problem we had was the hot tubs were not working on the pool deck. My husband was born and raised on Oahu and we lived there together for 10 years and we plan to return again. The Waikīkī Monarch is the perfect stay for holoholo and where we plan to stay at for all of our future visits.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The check in clerk seemed poorly trained and Unprofessional with his “Trump” gear. I really don’t want to know the politics of someone working at a hotel. The restaurant area was very loud even with only 4-5 people there. We left and had dinner at another place. There is no real lobby. We’ll never stay here again and would discourage others from staying here.

Roch Motel not It even a Hotel do not stay here!

There was a rich in the elevator first impressions! The room was old, dirty nothing modern. I was afraid to put my luggage on the floor thinking a roach would crawl in it. I did not stay overnight! I checked out before morning demanding a refund due to poor conditions!!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The check-in impression should have been the first clue when no one was there at 4:30 pm, then the gentleman was rude and seemingly annoyed by having to perform a check-in service. We got up to the room and it looks NOTHING like the photos online other than the white linen on the bed. It was DIRTY in the room. Everything costs extra- like using the gym, putting your luggage in the storage room the day of check out if you need it secured for an hour or two. The only time I encountered pleasant staff was when my hotel key card was not working and I had to come all the way back down from the 24th floor, wait in line and then have it turned back on, for the hot elevator ride back up to the stinky industrial carpet palace. I wish I had looked at other review sites on this place first. Oh and if you need parking the gentleman at the desk has nothing to do with that and will tell you very quickly...and it is $50/day, cash only. Enjoy.
