You cannot go wrong with choosing this location as your place to stay. In my opinion this was the best spot in Waikiki, and had amazing amenities to offer, and the rooms were great. Yes it's a little old school in terms of the design, but rooms were spacious and well equipped. Service was excellent, the front desk staff were a pleasure to work with. You are in the heart of Waikiki with walking distance to both the beach and other amazing venues in the area. Beach towels are provided and Drop off of the towels were simple and easy. Security of hotel is top notch as well, with key card entry only to get to elevator. Parking situation is a bit annoying, as you have to pay $30 a day for parking, and is connected to the building, but only a specific elevator goes to the parking. If parking was a bit cheaper and more convenient I'd say this was above a 6 star rating location. The rooftop pool was absolutely beautiful and well worth it for the non-beach goers. Beautiful views all around. I enjoyed every moment at Pacific Monarch. They also had a kitchen in the room, and other amenities that made you feel at home, which really made the stay all the more better. I will most definitely come back to Hawaii and stay at this location again. You have a lifelong customer Pacific Monarch! I can't wait to stay with you again. My experience in Hawaii was elevated due to my stay with Pacific Monarch. Thank you for making my stay all the more enjoyable especially during my birthday!
