The only thing that kept this from being excellent was the s l o w elevators, poor signage to rest rooms and elevators and my key card had to be replaced 4 times in 5 days (kept getting wiped out.) The personnel was very accomodating and apologetic for the slipups.

First off - if you decide to stay here - DO NOT book thru any other site. I booked my (non-refundable) stay 2 months in advance for a double suite - there were 4 of us traveling together. When I get there, they give us a King Standard room. Did I mention there were 4 on the reservation (only 3... More

I recently decided to give the Omni a try and I am glad I did. What a great hotel. From the checking to check out this hotel provides exceptional customer service and true luxury accommodations. The bedding is exceptionally comfortable and the room is quiet and clean.

I had a very positive experience at this Omni hotel. First, let me say that the location is great in downtown Austin- close to the capitol, the Driskill, 6th St, and other shops/restaurants. Upon check-in, staff was friendly and speedy. The rooms were great- lots of space, clean, nice bathrooms, well lit. The bed and pillows were so comfortable- I... More

My husband and I live in west Austin but decided to have a "stay-cation" downtown. We stayed at the Omni and were very impressed with the service. Everyone was extremely friendly and accommodating especially the valet, concierge and the receptionist! It was our anniversary so the hotel had chocolate dipped strawberries and wine with a handwritten note in our room.... More

The Omni chain of hotels offers perhaps the consistently best hotel experience among the large, upscale (but not luxury) hotel chains. This hotel is a further example of the superiority of the chain. Here is what sets the hotel apart from its competitors: 1. If you join Omni Select (for frequent travelers), which you can join at any time, you... More

Stayed two nights, not much to add, recent reviews do it well. The hotel has fantastic staff, nice clean rooms, great location, close to 6th and South Congress streets. Love the large glass lobby. Would definitely stay here again.

We went there on business and stayed four nights. The staff were very polite, friendly, and helpful. The concierge staff went out of their way to guide us to where we wanted to go, eat and information. We only had one bump in the road, which was a wedding party on our floor that decided to stay awake all night... More

We selected this hotel since it was in close proximity to our relatives. I have never slept so well in a hotel room. Very comfortable beds, nicely appointed, friendly staff. Only negative was the interstate being so close to our room but the noise didn't bother us once we were in bed. I would honestly recommend this hotel.

The rooftop pool was really really nice & the location is perfect walkable distance to a lot of downtown. You could hear some bass thumping from 6th street at night though. Rooms were comfortable and clean - bed was especially comfy, but definitely full-size not queens. Random consensus by the group of girls I was with - shower could use... More

Thank you for posting your feedback. We appreciate your input regarding the lighting and we are working on that issue. Our rooms with 2 beds do contact full size beds as oppposed to queen beds. We apologize for any confusion regarding this matter. We thank you again for staying with us and look forward to your next visit. More
