We had a really lovely stay in our cozy room. It was very clean and comfortable with lots of towels and little things (utensils, water purifier, a small refrigerator) that came in handy, and the views of the canal are really spectacular. Hao was the highlight--super prompt and communicative. The might be a little cramped if you have kiddoes running around but for four adults it was totally fine. Make sure to wear earplugs if you're a light sleeper as the walls can be a little thin. As for the building itself: the Hawaiian Monarch is a gently aged building with both residents and mostly guests (airBNB and hotel) overlooking the canal (not the beach); the best part was the little bakery full of coffee and treats open really early if you're on your way out to a sunrise walk or an early airport ride (say hi to Marc who's up early each day to bake). Street parking can be difficult, and we did cave in and pay for hotel parking at one point, but the street right across from the hotel occasionally has parking (just need to get out at 6am) and you can usually find street parking within 25-30 minutes away from the hotel. We'd definitely stay here again and fell in love with Oahu! Thanks Hao!
