Waikiki Monarch Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed the roof top pool a jacuzzi. View was a nice view of the river. Very close to good and affordable restraunts"

'Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach

8/10 Good

"Hotel spot was good. Just minor detail: such as the small chair inside the room seems to have a very strong odor. Prolly need to be cleaned or replace. Maintenance issue with elevator only 1 working at the Beachside’s tower."

Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"Right across from beach, loved that they offered beach chair day rentals included with the hotel fees, sand toys, and towels . Unfortunately when I arrived my bathroom was not cleaned, I called front desk and they sent someone right away to reclean the bathroom. I appreciated the hospitality, great customer service. But I was quite disappointed with cleanliness from first arrival. Also the parking garage is small 2 cars can not go up and down simultaneously, you have to move over to let cars pass. So leaving parking lot is tedious for the $65 daily price."
