During our smooth check in, after learning that it was our 39th anniversary, the guest relations representative (Adrian?... I think) immediately sent cheese, fruit and crackers with champagne to our suite - it was actually there by the time we got upstairs!... Also waiting for us was a handwritten note from the customer relations manager welcoming us - nice touch... The suite was beautiful - comfortable bed with crisp cool sheets, fluffy towels and a great balcony with views of rock creek park... Outstanding service in spectacular surroundings...

    This historic hotel circa 1930 has a great location in DC — close to Rock Creek Park, walking distance to great restaurants, near monuments and the zoo... The extensive public spaces include a large glass dining area adjoining the huge veranda that backs to the park...

    We booked the Omni for 2 night before catching the train to NYC. We had a room with 2 beds and it was plenty big enough for our short stay... The hotel and rooms are rich with old world elegance and class... The bathrooms are smaller than your newer resorts, but we don’t have any complaints... The rooms were equipped with a nice large TV, great Nest brand amenities (soaps/lotions/q-tips etc)... Beautiful greens and I lovely park adjacent to the resort to run or take a scenic stroll... The pool and hammocks were also lovely... The food and waitstaff was top notch... We ate most of our meals here out of convenience and quality!... The kids meals (burgers, waffles, pancakes, chicken tenders, mac’n cheese, etc) were only $8... The bartender made a great Manhattan too!...

Also waiting for us was a handwritten note from the customer relations manager welcoming us - nice touch... The suite was beautiful - comfortable bed with crisp cool sheets, fluffy towels and a great balcony with views of rock creek park... We had a scrumptious dinner and excellent breakfast at Roberts restaurant... Outstanding service in spectacular surroundings... Took some wine out to the fire pit after dinner in the lovely gardens... Easy short walk to the zoo the next day... The whole experience was elegant and special...

    ...Even though it had only 1 room, the living & dining area were big enough so it gave our family of 5 enough room! The pool was amazing & the pool staff was even better!... The pool food was great & came in a timely manner!...

    I intentionally chose a hotel that is walking distance from the Smithsonian National Zoo... Staff was friendly and helpful and the hotel was clean and comfortable... Taxis are always at-the-ready, should you choose, if going to the National Mall and museums... Less than 30-minutes from Reagan National Airport it is ideally located with a variety of restaurants just a close walk away... No doubt, I will definitely stay there again on my next visit to DC...

    ...The rooms are huge for a city hotel -- as is the lobby! The beds are firm and the pillows are soft... The coffee machine in my room did not work, and front desk wasn't interested in helping me... The folks at the entrance (bellhops, parking, etc) and housekeeping were great, but the check in and check out were unpleasant bookends to the stay...

    We stayed in a one bedroom suite with a separate living room on the third floor. Plenty of space for me my boyfriend a fifteen year old boy and a small Whiny puppy...

    ...It's a plushly nice hotel, old but generally well maintained. Everything was done smoothly, from check-in to taxi hailing to restaurant seating... There seem to be plenty of staff, which is unusual these days... Restaurant staff were friendly without being overbearing... The room was pleasant, with one exception, the bed and shower were great... We chose the Omni for its location, proximity to family and the zoo...

If you want to share a room with bugs 🐜 and roaches 🪳, go stay at Omni shoreham in DC. If you want to spend a night in hell due To AC leaking and a damped floor, book you a room at Omni Shoreham in DC. Mind you both my sister and I are going through menopause in that hot room. The supervisor on duty proudly with no shame offered a mere $50 food voucher. Like that should make everything ok. Shame, shame, shame. Keep your voucher.

Taxis are always at-the-ready, should you choose, if going to the National Mall and museums. Less than 30-minutes from Reagan National Airport it is ideally located with a variety of restaurants just a close walk away. The hotel, itself, has a wealth of history to claim with the Beatles, Presidential inauguration galas, etc. No doubt, I will definitely stay there again on my next visit to DC.

Beautiful stay.. The hotel is as one expects in a large conference center. Some of the services such as spa was not available due to renovations. However, the staff are very friendly and the front desk staff went out of their way to make our stay very enjoyable.

Located in the quiet part of DC further away from the busy core. Good base for meetings nearby. Core is easily accessible via the Red line that is very close to the hotel. Lovely residential neighbourhood nearby.

The place was immaculate and the staff OUTSTANDING. I especially want to recognize the front office Director, SHEHERYAR QURESHI, who went out of his way to accommodate all our needs and made our stay at the hotel during the American Veterans Conference truly special. What a wonderful and polite gentleman.

I had some mixed feelings about our stay at the Omni Shoreham this past summer. We went up to DC to visit our oldest son who was working a conference at this hotel. The hotel had many positives which impressed us but a few things on which they could improve. Now let me say from the beginning, staying at a hotel like the Omni Shoreham is a rarity for us. We’re more of the Hampton Inn type. I am not accustomed to bellhops and Concierge services. I’m the kind of person that likes to park their own car, but here they had valet parking. Still, it’s nice to splurge once in a while. Since this is where my son’s conference was located, it made sense for us to stay here as well. Things that I liked: The location- this hotel was easy to get to. Not too crowded of an area. The Metro stop is just a few blocks walk. The neighborhood seemed reasonably safe (at least for DC). I didn’t worry about walking to McDonalds or the Metro. The grounds- absolutely beautiful. The summer flowers were in bloom. You can see why this is a prime location for weddings. Service- The staff was quite helpful. The lady who ran the coffee shop (Morel’s I believe) was very pleasant each day. The staff at the front desk was very helpful in answering a couple of questions that I had as well. The swimming pool- our boys use the pool to cool off in the hot summer heat. You do have to sign in as a guest room/number in order to use the pool area. History- I’m a history buff. The Omni Shoreham is quite historic. All around were images of the hotel in the past and stories that went along with it. Did you know that this is where John Kennedy first met Jaqueline Onassis? Room for improvement- General upgrade- I know that there is a balance between history and restoration. But some areas of the room just need a facelift. The bathrooms were quite small. The room had a different smell to it (not sure if it was the carpet or a cleaner). It wasn’t horrible, but certainly noticeable. Another example of this balance are the elevators- beautiful and elegant, but quite small. Expensive- As I said, I’m not accustomed to a hotel like this. The base price per night was not too bad, but be prepared to pay for quite a few other things such as tipping the bellboy and the valet parking. Meals at the restaurant were quite pricey as well. I’m glad the Metro was nearby because having to call up your car from valet whenever you need to drive somewhere gets expensive and a little time consuming. Final verdict-a bit of mix. Would we stay here again? Probably, if we could get a good deal on a room.

This hotel far exceeded my expectations! It has been years since I visited and was expecting a tired, convention hotel, but instead found a lovely, charming and beautiful property with top notch customer service. From check in, to house keeping, to the restaurant staff, to the bell-stand- everyone was friendly and helpful. I was especially impressed with Front Desk Manager Deborah who went far above and beyond to take care of me (hand-delivering an apple to my room when I was unwell and room service was not open). This kind of service is much appreciated and really makes a property stand out. The grounds and lobby are beautiful and the rooms are well apportioned and comfortable. I wish all the management and staff the very best heading into the busy holiday season and look forward to the next time I find myself at this property.

For some strange reason the mattress at this hotel in my room was EXTRA FIRM. the side of my body was numb, I guess i am aging. Deborah at the front desk solved the problem. She asked the housekeeping staff to supple me a couple more comforters to pad the mattress. This worked. She was the sweetest, personable person at the front desk. the rest of the staff was friendly and the food(breakfast) at Roberts was awesome. Yes, I would stay there again.

I stayed at the Omni shoreham for a work meeting. The rooms are dated but clean and the beds are very comfortable. It’s a nice location with a few good restaurants within walking distance. DuPont circle is within walking distance. Not my favorite hotel but not the worst either.

The rooms are nice. The elevators are too few, and the food court “morsels” is a clusterf#%%! One person runs this. To purchase a bottled soda took 20 minutes….twice, because of the lines. The one person had to heat up muffins, make the lattes, everything.
