We stayed at the Omni for a wedding event at the DYC. Overall the double room was very large, the beds were very comfortable, the bathroom was large and the towels were nice and thick. The hotel could use some updating (i.e., carpet upon entry of hotel, brass fixtures throughout hotel and in room). The shuttle was convenient to run... more

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of the hotel. We do apologize for the noise. Our tent outside is very popular with weddings and other functions and we are sorry that the volume disturbed you. Even though you arrived at 11 p.m. we always welcome requests in the event that there is volume and we will...

I stayed in the Omni Detroit with my new husband on honeymoon, we came from Dublin Ireland and we had the best week ever. We thought the staff were so so nice, especially the reception girls, and the guys in the bar. All the staff would bend over backwards to help us even though they were really busy with some... more

Between cold water in the shower for three days, broken light fixtures in the room, being stranded by the free shuttle twice, having our vehicle damaged by the valet and being charged double for our room despite pre-paying 2 months in advance, it was the worst hotel stay of my life. I'd love to say this was an isolated incident... more

Management response from
Omni_Manager, Manager

We are truly sorry we were not able to replicate the good stay that you mentioned in your review. As far as the room is concerned, we apologize for the cold water and the fixtures. We also regret the billing errors and the valet problems. Depending on when you stayed at the hotel, such as during the Final Four, a...

This is a cute place ... an old pharmaceutical company, but definitely not "downtown" Detroit. It is in the middle of an old industrial warehousing area on the banks of the Detroit River. The river walk to Downtown will be nice when it's completed, and a good (but nice) half hour hike. The shuttle service offered by the hotel is... more

This was our 3rd time staying at this hotel. The room is big, the bathroom is very nice, the bed & pillows are comfy and the staff are all very nice. It also has a restaurant/bar downstairs, valet, and they also offer a free shuttle. It meet all my requirements for a great hotel. For the price I paid, I... more

This is located completed out of the way. The rooms were dated and the whole layout of the hotel felt odd. They did have a shuttle that ran until 10:30pm available. I would not stay here again I prefer either Greektown hotel, Athenuem, MGM Grand, or Book Cadillac hotel. more

Management response from
Omni_Manager, Manager

Thank you for your review. While we are not a recently renovated property like the Athenaeum or the Book Cadillac or a brand new property like the Greektown or MGM Grand, we do offer modern amenities with historic hotel charm. Some people enjoy the building and location, and others do not. We’re sorry you didn’t enjoy your stay with us....

We requested a 4* downtown Detroit hotel through an Internet travel site and we got the Omni River Place. The hotel is in an historic building on the waterfront. The things I liked about this hotel were the super friendly, helpful staff, very comfy bed, and nice down pillows and duvet. The advertised Starbucks coffee and tea in the lobby... more

Management response from
Omni_Manager, Manager

Thank you for taking the time to review the hotel. The area is much livelier in the summer months. We are sorry that the complimentary coffee and tea were not set up in the lobby, but if you join our free Select Guest program you can enjoy two free morning beverages delivered to your door at the time of your...

Spent one night at the Omni. Staff is excellent. Valet service was quick. You pay for parking here, but the valet service was appreciated, especially in the colder weather. Is probably a nice setting in the warmer months when you can see the water. Hotel is clean, has an old fashioned feeling. Breakfast was good with Starbuck's coffee, waiter was... more

Thank you for taking time to review our hotel. The setting is very nice in the summer months along the waterfront. It’s a very popular place for weddings during the warmer months. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and that our staff took good care of you. Please come visit us again.

I recently spent one night at the Omni Detroit with my husband. We chose this hotel as it was 2 minutes away from an early morning appointment. The staff was very helpful and very welcoming. Prior to the stay I thought some reviewers were over the top about the staff but I agree, the staff was excellent. The hotel is... more
