My wife and I visited for a four day seminar recently. Without the seminar deal, the rooms were $319 per night. Everything in the room was nice but that was all. The bed was very comfortable. Location is only two blocks away from the parties on 6th Street. The hot tub on the roof was closed down for repairs. We... More

I enjoyed my stay at the Omni because I got a great rate from Hot wire.I dont think I would have been as enamored with the place had I paid full price. For the $100 it was a bargain. It has a good location close to 6th street and various other restuarants. Since I only stayed over night I can... More

Here's hoping the general manager sees this review. I've only booked 4+ star hotels for years now, and in my opinion this hotel's rating should be dropped immediately. The good - the room met 4 stars standards. Clean room, comfortable mattress, nice linens, furniture in good repair, reasonably deep bathtub, acceptable decorating. The staff were always smiling and professional. Valet... More

Thank you for your review of the hotel and for the positive comments about the staff and services. We do have an excellent group and generally have high ratings for guest services. I do apologize for the noise due to construction. We try our best to limit the issue by having a later start on weekends for the construcion crew.... More

Major renovations going on from 7am to 7 pm...miserable experience. We were not warned of this ahead of time. Also, housekeeping did not clean the room until well after 4pm. Will not stay here again. More

Thank you for your response. We had a very difficult weekend as the city grid lost power turning the city almost completely dark for 10 hours overnight. Seems this caused far more noise than is usual. We have a full security team that deals with noise issues and they spend the night patroling the floors helping keep our guests quiet.... More

Stay here to really experience downtown Austin. Perfect location for walking around, eating great food and listening to awesome music! Clean rooms on the small side, but as expected. Roof deck with pool has a stunning view! Would stay again! More

My wife and I travel fairly often and enjoy staying in "nicer" hotels. It doesn't have to be the Four Seasons but clean and somewhat spacious with amenities most lesser hotels don't often. Omni Austin Downtown fits this bill. What it lacks in appointment it makes up for in service and amenities. Very beautiful environment this hotel is classy beyond... More

This is not the place for you if you want a nice quiet night of sleep. It's located 3 blocks from the bar scene of Austin. The college students partyed all night inside and outside the hotel. The walls between the rooms did little to prevent hearing everything going on next door, or in the hallway. Despite calling guest services... More

I stayed here for business and was so pleasantly surprised. I usually stay at Starwood properties but thought I'd give the Omni a try due to its proximity to 6th St (1 block) and the $4/night difference. If you join their rewards program, the wifi is free, you get two free drinks for breakfast (and you can get a bagel... More

Stayed here for work and I was hesitant as I had a bad experience with an Omni in DC. This one did not disappoint. I had not used the pool or fitness room. Comfortable and clean room. I did sign up for their Loyalty Program and recommend that you do as well. Free wifi, beverage in the AM...nice extras. More

We booked this hotel and spent $200 a night for New Year's weekend. It fell far below our expectations. The hot tub did not work- had no water. The pool is not heated nearly enough- couldn't even get in. I found hair in the bathtub (in both rooms we were in). No one told us the business center costs money... More

Thank you for your comments. I am sorry you did not enjoy your experience. We are renovating our suites and there is some noise associated with the de-construction of those rooms. We anticipate the majority of the noise to end in early February and the balance of the renovation to be much quieter. We will complete the renovation in early... More
