We stayed at the Omni while in Philadelphia for a family weekend Thanksgiving weekend. The location is fabulous as you are within a couple blocks of the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall - and the horse carriage tours. Another stop if you are looking for something to eat - is the Bourse Shops which are just around the corner. We found the service at the hotel to be very good. We requested adjoining rooms and this request was granted and we felt like we had our own private "wing" in the hotel. We did not dine at the restaurant, but went with a cheaper option down the street since so many of us and small children. We never made it to the pool area, but a few family members did take advantage of the services offered by the Balance Spa and they loved their experience. The Lounge/Lobby were decorated so pretty and festive for the holiday season and we spent quite a bit of time in the lounge and the service there was very good. All in all - a great stay at the Omni.

We loved this hotel - from the swift, smiling check-in (join the Select Guest programme) to our reluctant departure we enjoyed it all.

We had a large room over the main entrance but even so traffic noise was not a problem. The large bathroom was very well appointed with a nice range of toiletries.

Nice touches - an umbrella hanging in the cupboard for our use; personalised notepaper; free broadband connection just off reception; extremely helpful and friendly staff.

We only ate in the hotel once but it was an excellent meal.

All in all we wouldn't consider staying anywhere else if we returned to Philly

Our Omni stay was great. The hotel is lovely inside and out. The rooms are quite small, but nice. The view of the park and the location can absolutely not be beaten. We were disappointed to find out the pool and hot tub were closed for renovation, but we did find the staff to be very friendly and helpful.

The good: great location by Independence Park and in Olde City, very good service, nice bedding and furniture, terrific high-end ambience, jazz trio at the bar in the evening, Omni Kids program, nice 42' wall-mounted flat panel in renovated room
The bad: pool was being renovated, could hear unmuffled noise thru room door and adjoining room door (unrenovated room), vehicle got a few dings from the tight parking garage next door used for valet parking
