“Wedding weekend in”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 12, 2012

this hotel is located in the downtown Los Angeles. I would not typically select a hotel in downtown LA but we were attending a wedding which had a block of rooms here. We arrived early but the desk staff was able to assign us a room. The Omni surprised happily me. Room 810 - large with a california king, separate seating area with sofa and chairs. Linens were comfortable and ventilation (A/C) was good. Bath included large tub with separate shower. Upon reservation, signed up for the guest program which included coffe and juice delivered to the room each morning. We ate breakfest in the dining room chosing from the menu one time and from the buffet another. Both had a varied selection of items which we found to be good. The lounge was good with a wonderful outdoor seating area. All staff we encountered were pleasent and helpful.

“Full of character”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

We stayed in this hotel because my wife is has a GHA Black membership which entitled us to a double room up-grade. The hotel honoured the upgrade automatically which was good. We enjoyed our 3 nights stay at the hotel. I find the Valet services excellent and the upgraded room very satisfactory. We liked the tasteful deco and good quality bed. There were free ice fruit teas and cookies in the hotel lounge. As a "Select Guests" we were entitled to 2 beverages per person each morning - a definite PLUS!

We didn't walk the street as we had the car but the Disney Philharmonical Hall is just a few minutes walk away. It was easy enough to drive from the LAX airport to the hotel and from the hotel to the major LA attractions.

The hotel concierge was very helpful to us especially in organising our LA plane flight experience. They rang us the day before to remind us that it was booked for us.

Overall: Great room and services. I would recommend this hotel to other however it is just a bit expensive especially without the free room upgrades.

“Fine Hotel, Staff is not big on charm”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

The hotel is attractive in a downtown, businessy sort of way. Rooms are large and pleasantly appointed. Lobby area was very cold (well, cold in a Southern California way), and when I mentioned it to the front desk clerk, he did not really respond. I was psyched to see hot apple cider to warm me up, but found the dispenser empty. Not a big deal, but when I mentioned it to the (same) front desk clerk, he seemed completely uninterested. The parking is fairly outrageous ($40) and there are really no abundant/safe options nearby. Because it was raining, we bit the bullet. Also because it was raining, we chose to eat in the hotel restaurant, which we never do, but the food was delicious! Truffle mac and cheese and fish and chips and all reasonably priced (except for the wine). The ambience was lovely, too, with dim lighting, comfy chairs and a fireplace (never mind the flighty waitress).

Room Tip: We were on the seventh floor, which was quiet until I was awakened at 3 a.m by what sounded like som...

“Decent. Maybe the front desk service willbe better next time.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 8, 2012 via mobile

Location is in business district, far from decent shopping and most sights, but good if you are visiting a nearby business. Concierge was average. Front desk staff poor. Club level staff excellent. "Sunday" is the woman's name up there and she is very helpful. Rooms are average. Food is okay. If it wasnt for the woman at the front desk in the morning, this hotel might have gotten four stars.

“Excellent hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 7, 2012

I stayed in Omny hotel in downtown L.A. It's is just excellent. Great room, huge bad, very high (they should consider to put an in room ladder to climb it). Breakfast is great service is very good.
As it's a working/office area there are many places to eat on lunch time. They are all closed by 6-7 P.M (except one bar-restaurant) and on week ends. Very close to Disney concert hall.
Otherwise, it's downtown L.A, not the best area to hang around in the evening although I did and felt ok.
