The location is fantastic. We have stayed in two units at the Pacific Monarch. Ashley's unit is the larger of the two we stayed in. The smaller unit we stayed in (March 2020) did not have a patio or full kitchen, but was higher up and I think had less street noise. (It was the first weekend of March in 2020 and not as busy so that may also be why less noise).
Lines for breakfast and dinner at Waikiki can be long. In my opinion, breakfast and dinner on the patio and lunch out is a more relaxing way to go.
We will always go for the patio in the future. The hot tub on the roof is hot too!
The unit is a great value. We definitely preferred it to staying in a hotel for a quick 2 night trip to Waikiki in January 2022 (3 months before this visit).
The owner Ashley was very responsive.
