The staff was very friendly, courteous and helpful also the of the hotel was very close to the beach and being located in the heart of downtown Waikiki made it close to shopping, dining and just walking around town.

Aloha zhaofu,You will be relieved to know, after you checked out, the exterminator deemed your room pest free. Also, there were no reports before and after your stay.Mahalo,Team Pacific Monarch
Minutes from everything, we enjoyed the roof top pool & hot-tub, great game of pool in excellent common room. It had it's age & expected wear & tear but location & amenities are A . Add lovely front desk staff, Christieann, EXCELLENT cleaning crews... we will be back!

The pool was great. The staff super friendly and the room was more than adequate. Unfortunately, there was construction going on while we were there and that decreased the pleasure of the view from the balcony as well as the quiet in the mornings.

It’s definitely an outdated hotel and something I would not recommend. There is no a/c in the main bedroom, only in the living room. The showers were dirty with only cold water, the curtains had stains, the elevator kept getting stuck. Very poor maintained hotel which needs a major renovation. If it wasn’t for the location I would’ve scored lower.

Two short blocks from the beach. Room clean and spacious. Outdated but functional. They allowed me to check in very early - so was able to enjoy the beach all day. Roof pool and sauna were good perks.

We've been to Oahu 3 times and this place was the best so far! Only a 3 minute walk to Waikiki beach and restaurants and high end shopping ( if thats what your after) and a nice roof top sauna . hottub and pool. Balconies are wide but narrow but the partial ocean/ city views were great!! It was clean and the staff very friendly!

Good value for money, near the beach and in the center of it all. On a bustling street with some street noise. An older building (older furnishings and AC), but we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay. Parking was on site, convenient, in and out privileges and $35 / nt (relatively inexpensive for the area).

The property was outdated. Like the bathroom was in poor condition though on the upside it did work. The tub was dirty and needed replacing. I was too scared to touch the sides of the tub it was so dirty. Carpet was coming up in areas. The outside deck table had dirt and grime. Couch looked dirty and old.
The pros was that it was well stocked. Had extra pillows. Had cutlery and dishes. It had toaster, microwave, fridge, and electric stove with oven. Had a table to eat at.
Now the desk service was terrible. They hide behind the desk with their computers and never greeted guests. The complimentary lemon water was empty and the desk service was like ok. She acknowledged it but made no motion to assure that it would be filled soon. They did fill it eventually.
There car situation was ok. So if you aren’t bougie and ok with a hotel that isn’t super pristine and up to date then this place is for you. Fits a lot of ppl and has a big balcony too.

The room was cheaper and bigger than some of the other hotels in the area. The kitchen was stocked and clean and the there was a variety of places to sit. The currents were old and had holes throughout and were NOT blackout curtains. The balcony was amazing, with gorgeous views of the city, mountains and ocean.
The "hot" tub was more like a Luke warm bath. They ran out of gate cards for the garage so we had to keep getting out to go to the front desk and have them open it which was annoying. The tile flooring was filthy and our feet were black from walking barefoot on it after only 1 night.
