“Magnificent hotel w/ shockingly low rates & wonderful staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

I had the pleasure of spending 8 nights here for a work related event and was really pleased with the staff and valet of the hotel who were courteous, incredibly nice, and expedient with any demand.

There were great rates on hotel sites, I would pick them over many other hotels and the cheap rates were an added bonus. The hotel is within a block of some great restaurants (lebanese, japanese, indian, mexican) and right behind the gorgeous Rock Creek Park which is a quick way to bypass some DC traffic if headed to the airport or over the Arlington Memorial Bridge.

The brunch buffet on the weekends is an absolute deal. They have a waffle and omelet station as well as plenty of fresh fruit and juices.

Join the Omni Rewards program for free and you get free wifi, free juice/coffee/newspaper delivery to your room EACH morning, free shoe shining, 2 free pressings each day, etc. It is one of the better hotel rewards programs I have come across so join online before you show up to save time.

“Love this place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 29, 2012

I stayed for 3 nights for a conference. Loved this hotel. It is an EXCELLENT location, walking distance to restaurants and the metro. Quick taxi rides to other locations around DC. I would definitely stay here again. My room was huge with a little balcony. Loved having the coffee in the room, and the little coffee shop inside the hotel with snacks was very convenient. Very helpful staff when I wanted to explore the city one night. They gave great recommendations and told me exactly how to get there. Also recommend for a family, too.

“LOVELY AMBIENCE-DATED TIRED ROOMS”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 24, 2012

Stayed at Omnishoreham for 2 nights. The hotel is imposing from the outside. Once inside the visitor is greeted with a large atmospheric lobby that makes a immediate positive impression. The dining room is a delight as is the Marquee bar lounge. All in all downstairs is impressive reminiscent of a 1930's period hotel.
However a hotel of this size and rating needs to splash out on a serious refurbishment of its bedrooms which to say the least are tired and dated, particularly the bathrooms which are far from 4 star rating. Wallpaper is old, bathtubs scratched and stained, doors old and marked giving a rather depressing and dour feel to the place. Beds in all fairness were comfortable. In short the rooms were a major let down and far from what one would encounter in a similar rated property in europe. So I would urge the management to recognise this shortfall and not let the accommodation bring this hotel s reputation down.
To sum up OK place to stay, but could be so much better.

“Great Hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 21, 2012

Just back from DC and stayed 4 nights in the Omni, lovely hotel, nice big spacious rooms, good location and excellent local food places.

Its just outwith the tourist area but with the underground across the street travelling isn't a problem. $20 for cab fare from Union Station so not bad.

Would certainly return again.
