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.

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.

we were holed up in the Omni during Hurricane Sandy , cannot think of a better place.
Rooms were large and the bed the most comfortable I have experienced.

staff very helpful and the facility has a nice gym
local eateries are nearby - with the Irish Pub one of our favourites

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.
