We stayed at the Omni Hotel in LA for two nights during our 2 week road trip in California. We choose this hotel based on the reviews on Trip Advisor and we were not at all disappointed. We booked through hotelsrus.co.uk and got a bargain rate of £56 a night which included tax.

The hotel is in the business district, and it took us 20 minutes to drive to Hollywood Boulevard in the rush hour, which was not bad at all.

We loved everything about this hotel, from the minute you walk in the staff are pleasant and can’t do enough to help you. The whole hotel is immaculately kept to the highest standards; we did not see anything wrong the entire time we were there.

You have to pay for Valet parking, but so do you in most hotels so it’s not a big deal and the Valet staff brought the car round really quickly and were very helpful with loading of bags etc.

The rooms were great, big comfy beds, with pillow top mattresses and all the amenities you could need. The bathrooms were huge with a separate bath and shower! The room was well set out, with a nice view and was spotless. As we were tired we ended up ordering room service both nights of our stay, which was reasonably priced compared with a lot of hotels. Especially considering they set you up a table for two in your room, not just on a tray, which was a lovely touch. The food was restaurant quality, and of course as with all food in the US the portions were huge.

We did not have time to use the pool but it did look very nice and the equipment in the fitness centre looked brand new.

After spending all day sightseeing in LA with all the crowds, it was certainly a relief to be returning to this hotel.

Stayed at the Omni for two nights on business travel. From the moment I arrived when the valet picked up my car, to the moment I departed when the valet returned my car, I experienced nothing but great customer service from Omni's staff. A first I was skeptical, thinking that the staff was being nice to perhaps make up for less adequate rooms, but when I opened the door to my room, I found it to be clean, comfortable and modern. No dust or crumbs around the baseboards. The mattress was high and firm. The sheets were white and the beds were decorated with accent pillows. The bathroom featured a separate shower and tub, complimentary toilettries and clean, white shower rugs. I also used the fitness center and was impressed with the number and condition of the cardio machines. Most hotels have one or two machines that are terribly outdated. The fitness center at the Omni was spacious and featured elliptical machines, treadmills with mini tvs, and some machine and free weights. The free weights were a little on the old side, but the overall fitness room was more than what I expected. Further, the Omni has a courtesy car that can take you to any business location in the city! I definitely recommend the Omni if service, cleanliness and amenities are of importance to you.

We stayed at the Omni for 2nights. The Location was great. Its in the downtown area close to chinatown, staples, shopping area and restaurants. The service was excellent, valet parking, checking in, room service, housekeeping etc. The flower arrangements in the lobby are so beautiful and refreshing. They also gave my son a bag of toys and goodies. The room is somewhat disappointing. It is small, the decor dated, room configuration is not done properly ( e.g. when you open the closet you cannot go to the bathroom or front door. Maybe its only our room but still this is an inconvenience) and the tub is really small. However the bed is comfortable. Over all it was a NICE stay and we will definitely come back to OMNI when we go again for a vacation in Los Angeles.

I recently attended a business conference at the Omni thus, stayed at the hotel for two nights. I booked on Expedia with a good rate about 3 months before my stay.

A few days before arriving, I was checking the Omni website for WiFi access and learned there is a charge of $9.95/day. But, if you sign up for "Select Guest" which is free and create a profile with your likes/dislikes, you get WiFi access for free as well as 2 morning drinks (oj, v8, etc....) and a daily paper of your choice. Also, if you book with the hotel, you can check in "Online" as long as give at least a two hour notice you are coming. Since I booked on Expedia, I could not do this.

On arrival, check in was quick. You can only valet park which is $26/night. I got my requested high floor corner room on the 15th floor with a decent view. The room itself is a bit dated. The carpet showed signs of wear with stains. "Build Up" was around the shower door. The bathtub had a layer of sediment (or dirt) in it but, since it was late at night and I knew I would not use it (I used the separate shower), I just put a note the next morning to inform the staff the bathtub was "dirty." The TV is standard tube TV with a good representation of channels including HBO. The honor bar was well stocked and is a traditonal "dorm fridge" which I like since you can put your own things in it if you want (I just hate the new wave of honor bars that use motion sensors so you can't move anything or put in your own stuff). The big plus was the bed. It was very comfortable and pillows large and soft.

On my first night, turndown service was not done. Turn down service was done for the second night. Each morning, I received two drinks and the LA Times left at my door which I specificed on the Select Guest door hanger.

WiFi service in this hotel is very spotty both in my room and during my conference. In my room, it seemed like I had to sit a certain way in a specific part of the room to get a solid connection. Anywhere else, it would drop. For my conference, some areas had excellent connection rates while others had none which frustrated several attendees. But, for me the main focus was on my room and it was terrible.

Although many rave about the location, I found it to be the complete opposite. There is really not much around the hotel within walking distance. I walked a four block radius and saw nothing in terms of good food, bars, etc... Looking out my window I could see the 110 freeway and of course, it's a parking lot at 5-6pm so, although I knew I could get somewhere in my car it was not worth the headaches to get it out of valet and fight traffic knowing I could only be out a few hours at most. But, the hotel bar; Noe, is really nice and they did have a small menu which I had dinner which was decent but, pricy.

Check out was quick and easy but, I was not honored with a "late check out." My conference was all day until 5pm and lunch was after the check out time of 12:00. Having an extra hour would have been nice. But, I was able to give my suitcase to valet and they put it in my car. At the end of day, getting my car leave took a bit of time but, that was expected since everyone who attended the same conference as me was leaving as well as there were other meeting events ending which made a small bottleneck in getting out of the hotel.

Overall, the Omni is not a bad hotel. Only few negatives but, the poor WiFi and bad location (for me) makes me rate it as "Middle of the Road."
