Cons:

SO UPSET I HAVE A ROOM THAT THE NEXT DOOR SUITE CAN SEE INTO MY ROOM!!! LITERALLY MISSIJG A PIECE OF THE WALL.CAN SEE RIGHT INTO THERE PLACE AND VISA VERSA!!!

CAUGHT HIM LOOKING AT ME THROUGH THE HALF INCH WALL MISSING NEAR WINDOW!!!

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSABLE REASON OR ALLOWENCE FOR THIS HORRENDOUS HOTEL TO ACCOMMODATE ANYONE WITHOUT SENSE OF SECURITY AND PRIVACY!!

TRIED TO CHANGE ROOMS THIS MORNING THE FRONT DESK WOMAN SAID, 'NO! THEY ARE FULLY BOOKED'

DISGUSTING TO LOOK OUT MY WINDOW AND SEE SOMEONE SPYING ON ME ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING!!!

IM ABOUT TO LEAVE THIS AWEFUL ACCOMMODATION AND DEMAND A REASON WHY THIS WOULD EVEN BE ALLOWED TO EXIST FOR ANY GUESTS SENSE OF PEACS AND WELLBEING !

SUPER DISGUSTING TO KNOW THE WHOLE TIME I WAS BEING WARCHED!!!

I STRONGLY SUGGEST ANYWHERE ELSE IF YOU CAN AFFORD AN EXTRA 20DOLLARS/NGHT !!!!

HORRIFIED THAT THIS IS WVEN A SITUATION I HAVE TO TOLERATE AND PAY 150$/NIGHT FOR ABSOLUTELY SICK !!

HOW COULD A HOTEL EVEN DO THIS TO ANY DECENT HUMAN BEING THATS NOT IN GUANTANAMO AND EVEN THEN NO ONE DESERVES THAT FEELING OF INDECENCY!!!

SO HORRIFIED !!

Thumps up to Ms Kana
Pros:

It’s a decent hotel and it’s very convenient. A little issue here and there but nothing major. Shout out to Ms Kana for always making our stay feel amazing. She’s very helpful and always smiling plus she’s the only staff that offer the gym pass and restaurant coupons when they had it which we was surprised about it because the other staff never offer it to us but I guess it is what it is. Her customer service is really great love this place cause of her.

For a very tired travelers, Waikiki Monarch Hotel tops the bill. Kuuuudoooos! Staff take a bow.
Pros:

The staff was very nice and accommodating. I came in and checked in after 3 days traveling. Was very tired. Asked for an upper floor room to obtain quiet and was very pleased with the room assignment. I would definitely book again with this hotel and refer to all my traveling and business friends.

Cons:

The drug addicts across the street. The stench of marijuana filled the air outside the building and practically destroyed my clean fresh air. Thankfully, the a/c in the room proved very helpful and quiet.

The receptionists were on point!
Pros:

Ngl my room was not like what's pictured. It's pretty dirty and the noisy AC unit in the window was not expected. The walls are pretty thin as well. I could hear neighbor phone conversation pretty well. It reminded me of staying in a hostel a bit.
Despite all of this, the location is is really nice. It's a 7-10 minute walk to the Hawaii Convention Center and there are restaurants, food trucks, and the Waikiki Brewing Company just a few steps away.
And the most wonderful part were the receptionists, Mario and Kana. They're so very nice, helpful, and welcoming with the warmest smiles.
If you're just looking for a place to lay your head at night, is recommend this place. If you're looking for a more luxurious stay, I'd suggest somewhere else.
