We stayed at the Omni for four nights during a recent vacation to Los Angeles. It was hard to get a good look at the outside of the hotel because we were never standing that far back. Inside, I enjoyed the modern Asian inspired flower arrangements. We found the hotel to be located centrally to the things we wanted to do. Driving to the J. Paul Getty museum, a trip to the Griffith Observatory, walking to the fashion district and dining in Beverly Hills. The staff was courteous upon our arrival and we were efficiently checked into our room. I was a bit nervous because we had a voucher purchased through a discount travel company listed on TripAdvisor. There were no problems and it turned out it was just a really good deal.

The hotel is located across from the MOCA and within the California Plaza. We wandered the plaza and found the nearby water features to be very nice, a great spot to sit in the morning with coffee. In general the area was nice although if walking there is an underpass I would suggest you skip walking under. I was surprised to see so many people walking in LA.

I didn’t encounter any maintenance issues and the room was always made up before we returned for the day. The options for the minibar were numerous and predictably expensive. The bed while made up with layers of padding and soft sheets was so warn I didn’t sleep well many nights. All the padding over the mattress seemed to trap the heat and even with the air conditioning on cold the bed was too hot. This seems to be a common effect of the padding hotels are adding to their bedding. The complimentary toiletries were nice and the towels thick and absorbent. The tile on the floor of the shower was a sad small pale pink tile but overall the bathroom was nice. The counter had enough space, the lighting was bright enough and they even had a make-up mirror. The one thing I missed was a light in the closet. It was difficult to see my clothes after hanging them away.

We didn’t use the restaurant or the room service. We usually had coffee in the room before heading out for the day. We did use the complementary wireless Internet and the valet parking. I have no complaints with either. We didn’t turn on the TV so I have no comment on that. The view was okay. We overlooked some modern art in the Plaza below. The fitness room was very nice. It was equipped with elliptical trainers, treadmills and stationary bikes for aerobic training. The also had Cybex machines and free weights for weight lifting. They had towels, water and headsets freely available in the room. A couple of the elliptical machines had TV monitors and there was a large plasma screen TV in the room. I noticed the lap pool outside the fitness room but didn’t give it a try.

All in all we had an enjoyable stay and wouldn’t hesitate to visit the Omni again.

The Omni was great. The location was convenenient to shops, restaurants and walking/jogging areas. My hotel room was very nice, the bed was super comfortable. I used the fitness center which was very nice and definitely a pleasure to work out in. Overall, the hotel is great, peaceful, and worth the cost of the room. The concierge and front desk were both very helpful when I needed them.

The Omni downtown LA is probably not the most eye pleasing Hotel I have stayed in but the staff certainly make up for the SLIGHTLY dated decor. The rooms and bathrooms are comfortable and clean but are a little small.

The best thing about this Hotel is deffinatly the staff. Wheather its the doormen or the chef they cant do enough to help. If you do decide to stay in this hotel you just have to order the Breakfast Buffett. At around $18 per person its not cheap but it will fill you up for the day. Watch the chef prepare and cook your omlette then come back for the best pancackes in the States. Absolutly delicious!!!!!

We stayed at the Omni two years ago and had a great time. We returned last month for a Saturday night stay and found it just as wonderful. This hotel is exceptionally well managed, clean and inviting; guests are made to feel welcomed and valued. For example, at check in last month they were out of keys for the in-room mini-bars. They immediately arranged to send a free mini-refrigerator to our room so we would have a place to chill the champagne we'd brought with us. Our room was spacious and the bed was exceptionally comfortable and quiet. As Select Guest members we get free coffee, orange juice and a paper delivered to our room in the morning (we used our champagne and the hotel's free orange juice to make mimosas). This was followed by the delicious buffet breakfast, included in our room rate. The hotel is next door to MOCA and virtually across the street from the Dorothy Chandler, Ahmanson Theater, the Opera etc. We are opera and theater buffs so this is a great base when we attend performances.

Our experience last month was so terrific that we decided to return this weekend to enjoy the "Show Must Go On" package. The $229 room rate includes a $100 dining certificate to Noe, the restaurant located in the hotel, plus the breakfast buffet for two, a wine amenity, free town car service to and from the Dorothy Chandler and valet parking. All in all an amazing deal- break it down and the effective room rate is almost ridiculously low . I'm already impressed by the Omni for this trip because a couple of days ago I received a call from the concierge asking me if I wanted them to make dinner reservations at Noe so we could use our $100 dining certificate, and inquiring about whether we wanted red or white wine for the wine amenity. Talk about a hotel having its act together! Can't wait to spend the weekend there!

  • Liked — Proximity to Dorothy Chandler, Ahmanson, etc. and great service at the hotel.
  • Disliked — Not the best area after dark.

The last trip I made to Los Angeles for business I did not stay at the Omni and I was not happy. Thank goodness a room was available at the Omni last week, so I could stay in comfort and ease. The front desk staff is always quick, efficient, and friendly. Every time I stay there my room is clean and the amenities are available. The fitness center is good and is open 24 hours which is fantastic for business travelers. Room service was good and the servers were always friendly. I travel alone on business quite frequently, so it is nice to stay in a hotel where I feel safe. I only have one complaint and that is the valet service. Sometimes it is quick, but other times I can wait 15-20 minutes but there are many attendents standing around. Omni might want to look at the valet service and step it up a notch. Otherwise the hotel is great. Good location in downtown LA and I will continue to stay there for business.
