Great spot close to both Ala Moana (think Teppan Yaki close by, great shopping) and the Waikiki strip. Hawaii Monarch Hotel (which this was a part, 7th floor) is a date property -- 1979. The interior was clean and good. Bed a tad small for 2 people if you are used to Queen, but doable.Elevators slow, but stairs a viable option, especially going down. Parking very good up to floor 4 with elevator stop there also. However parking steep ($35/day doubled our rental rate) as one can expect in Waikiki. Recommended for longer stays. For those looking for a convenient Waikiki weekend, I would recommend Waikiki strip locations and not this "Ala Wai" side hotel. It worked for us however.
