We have just returned from a stay in the Omni Hotel at California Plaza, Los Angeles. We booked this Hotel because of the very good reviews on Trip Advisor. It was fantastic - better than expected. We choose a room at Club Level which included Continental breakfast and drinks from 5.00 - 8.00 pm each evening. The bed (as advised by a Trip Advisor user) was pure luxury. You just would not want to get out of it. Room & bathroom just perfect. Our room no 1615 was positioned on a corner so we had 2 views. Through one window we could see the famous 'Hollywood ' sign on the hills and through the other window we had great view of the waterfall & plaza below. Breakfast included hot porridge, fresh fruit - all kinds, cold meat, smoked salmon, egg s Florentine, bacon, sausages etc, etc. not to mention the beautiful muffins & pastries. The menue was slightly different each day. Evening drinks included cheeses, pancakes and tasty hor'devours. All the staff we encountered were extremely helpful & friendly. Don't forget to become a 'select guest' with the Omni. Do this through their website. Taxis always available outside hotel. This hotel is just great.

This hotel is depressing. Its a bare bones hotel. The only saving grace is that the bedding is OK. But the room is very plane and the bathroom stark. I would not rate this a 4 star hotel.

The hotel is by far the best hotel I've ever stayed at. My boyfriend and I booked a standard room via priceline.com for a great price...around $80/night after taxes. I've paid full price at many other 3-4 star hotels, but none of them can beat the Omni. The room was not big at all...to be honest it was pretty small, but still for me to love the room and the experience, you'll have to believe it was really that great. The down comforter was soooooo fluffy and there were pillows all over the bed. The shower had a speaker/radio so you can listen to the tv while in there. If you're only looking to pay for a standard room, the size is perfect if you're looking to stay in bed all day, watch tv, hang out, etc. It's not big enough if you're planning to bring children along. I forgot how much parking was. I think it was around $15/night, but there are in and outs. There's not much to do in downtown L.A., but you can walk next door and visit the Museum of Contemporary Arts (MOCA) or drive a couple miles to Little Tokyo...On Saturdays, Little Tokyo has a small farmer's market. Other times, you can visit the Little Tokyo's branch of the MOCA, have lunch, shop around.

Enjoy!

My husband and I stayed at the Omni for a one stay for a birthday trip. The staff and rooms were great. The location, one block from the Music Center and Disney Auditorium was the real reason for our choice. The museum next door was also nice. Our room was spacious, the bed was so comfortable and it was very quiet.
