We had a great time in Terry’s studio, located in the Waikiki Monarch.
The location is perfect, if you don’t mind walking short distances to get to the beach or city. Next to the hotel there is a 7/11 which is very convenient, and there are two car rental companies located at the lobby level of the hotel.
Check in is after 4pm, which is a little late in our opinion, but they do offer to store your bags for $5 per bag, so you can explore the city and check in later. Only thing we didn’t find convenient, is that they only issue one keycard. So if you and your partner have different plans, it’s hard to get back into the room with only one keycard.
The cleanliness of the apartment is what we were disappointed in. We found hairs from the guests before us and especially the bathroom could use some extra attention and a deep clean. Moldy spots all around the shower. The floor throughout the studio was also dirty.
The studio looks bigger on the pictures. The AC cooled the room properly, but made a lot of sound, so impossible to sleep with the AC on.
To conclude, we think, you get what you pay for, applies to this place. For the price it was okay. If the apartment would have been cleaner we would definitely consider coming back next time we are on the island.
