Hawaiian Monarch Hotel Honolulu

The Hawaiian Monarch in terms of Hawaiian hotel prices in relatively inexpensive. It’s not loaded with amenities or right on the beach but it is close to some great shops. The beach is within walking distance as are the shops (I like shopping) and there is a bus line that stops right nearby so you can catch the bus to major attractions throughout Oahu. The rooms a spacious and clean the cleaning ladies do a nice job. You have a mini fridge and a microwave another plus because after eating off the McDonalds dinner menu for so long it was time for something different. I did stay hear more than once it really is a decent place to stay. The front desk staff was pleasant and professional in fact there was a slight problem in finding my reservations but they resolved it quickly by just putting me in a room anyway until my reservation posted from Orbits and I also ended up booking extra nights I asked the front desk if it would be possible to just stay in the room (because they were at max capacity) and they worked around the other reservations to keep me in the same room. In the lobby of the hotel there are a handful of stores and in the lower lobby there is a pub and you can order little Pu Pu's or pizza.
