Waimea Reservoir

Great location, quiet. Unit pretty dark and very dated looking. Had all the amenities I needed.

Honestly, I expect more from a hotel that’s this expensive. There were things that needed to be fixed everywhere I looked. Our room was supposedly just renovated, but it was a sloppy renovation job. The pool table looked like it was from a fraternity house, worn out and ripped. The workout room never had hand sanitizer or wipes. Our bathroom smelled like mildew, and our hallway often had loud industrial dryers set up. We also stayed at the other hotel down the beach, so we couldn’t help but compare the two. The other hotel had umbrellas, cushioned chairs, fresh water in your room, and a better buffet. To say we were disappointed in the fairmont orchid would be an understatement.
