We got a great deal from the Omni website for this comfortable, up-market hotel in LA. The rooms were very good - large and comfortable with air con that was easy to control. The restaurant has a great breakfast buffet - with fresh fruit, eggs any way, and fantastic "artisan" breads.
So why not a rating of 5? - Well, the pool is very small, and parking is $40/night for weeknights. The location is in the financial district, so you are limited in nearby restaurants. On the plus side, there is easy freeway access, and the nearby Walt Disney concert hall is fascinating. I recommend a tour.

We booked two rooms for our stay at the Omni over the Christmas holidays. check in / check out was a breeze. we arrived at the hotel at 1030 am and both rooms were ready....it was really nice not to have to wait until the official 1pm check in time. I had signed up for the omni loyalty program on line (which is free) and it includes free wi-fi and free beverage service in the mornings. rooms were large and very comfortable. easy walking distance to most locations....staples centre is about a 15/20 minute walk. the hotel is in a business district and the area was fairly deserted over christmas. there is a complimentary car service offered within a 3 mile radius but when we called the front desk to ask for the car to staples centre, we were told they don't drive to staples because it's too busy. so we took a cab. i complained at checkout and they waived one of our parking charges to reimburse us for the cab fare and said that we had been given incorrect information. overall the service was great and we enjoyed our stay at the hotel. would stay again. my only complaint would be the ludicrous $40 valet parking fee....this is the most i've ever had to pay for guest parking.

Hotel looked nice when we pulled up for the first time, but I was quickly irritated upon pulling up into valet. I was behind a couple other cars who were checking in as well, but the valet looked at us then completely ignored us and walked back to the hotel; very disappointing! I decided to pull up right in front of them and only then did they make an effort to "greet" us. For $40 dollars a night to park, I expected A LOT more. The front desk was nice enough, but after we got to the room I went online to the hotel's website and realized that they didn't tell us about the kids' package. We did indicate that our kids were coming so they should have told us about it, but they didn't. I had to call the front desk to inquire about it before they sent up the amenities, which included complimentary activity bags and snacks for the kids. Then, as if this wasn't already annoying enough, when the cookies and milk were finally delivered, I was handed the tray at the door and had to bring it in myself! What kind of service is this?! Trust me, I am not one to shy from hard work, but when you're on vacation (and at a supposedly nice hotel like this) it is important to create a great experience for the guest....that's what the whole hospitality industry is all about. Pretty much a fail in terms of service.

On the plus side, the hotel's appearance is very nice, our room was bigger than expected and the housekeeping staff is great! We travel quite a bit and have been to many different hotels...overall, a below average experience and we will likely not be returning.

My 3 week stay at the Omni Hotel was excellent. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful, and willing to take the time to help plan your 'route'/method of travel to see different sights in LA. The hotel also has a complimentary car service that is free to travel within 3 miles of the hotel. The drivers and bell boys were all very friendly and welcoming.
The rooms are very clean and have sufficient space, making you feel at home in the room.
I made great use of the gym on Level 4, which had plenty of equipment, towels, water and healthy snack bars provided.
The location of the hotel is pretty good - right in the centre of downtown LA. It was 3 blocks to walk down towards 7th St/Grand Avenue, where there are many restaurants and take-out food offerings along 7th street. Even though it gets quiet at night time, it was safe enough to walk on your own, and there are always other people walking around as well, as well as film crews which often film things in Downtown LA.
Overall, I had an excellent experience at the Omni and I would recommend it to anyone who is staying in LA. Though, I would warn them that it is quite expensive, but definitely worth the price.
