I live two towns away from the Omni in New Haven, Ct. I hadn't seen my girlfriend in some time and we decided to go out on a Saturday. What to do! I wanted to make the evening special so I made a reservation at the Omni in downtown New Haven, I asked for a corner room with a nice view and recieved just that. The room was spacious clean and quite comfortable. Now the hidden secret, they have a resturant and cocktail lounge on the top floor (19th) I've lived in the area for the past 30 years and never ever thought of going there. Well we checked in had a drink in the room and off we went upstairs for dinner. The food was excellent, I had the sea bass she had the filet, both cooked to our liking, plus the view was awesome, we both felt like we were on vacation anywhere but in New Haven, it was that nice, wine list was incredible and the staff was very attentive. I highly recommend this hotel if you are traveling on business or pleasure, btw have breakfast served in your room to make the stay complete. It reunited me with someone very special and a week I won't soon forget. Thank you Omni Hotel

Omni Hotel was in a great location with many shops and restaurants in walking distance. Omni staff was great and helpful. Only bad thing I would say would be we found expired food in the refrigerator snack bar. We called and they took it off our bill. I would recommend to anyone.

Unfortunately there are not too many options in New Haven for higher end hotels, so the Omni is one of very few options in the center of town. I have stayed here several times and found a large difference in the experience based on the room. The last stay in a corner room was very nice, the bathroom appears to have been slightly updated and the normally noisy heater / air conditioner was not as bad as in the others, and the room was larger. Which is to say that in the other rooms, the rooms were small, bathroom in need of renovation and so forth.

They seem to be doing some work on the building renovating the restaurant / retail space on the street level and there may be some good options moving in, but for now it is mostly space available signs, but no matter because as they say location, location, location - and this hotel has it. There are many small and good restaurants near by with options that will meet any need you have within easy walking distance.

Because there are not that many options in the center of New Haven I have found that the hotel is completely booked when there are any University events, so if you are coming for one you really need to book early. It isn't a great hotel, that is partially due to the aging building but the staff is pleasant enough in a very busy place, and did I mention location, location, location?

This hotel is in the best location in New Haven. It is on the older side but the updates are modern looking. We ate breakfast in the restaurant in the 19th floor and it was very nice with a great view. When in the area I will be sure to stay again.
