9. This is a great hotel, this is my second visit, rooms are large and clean, i even pulled away a nightstand to check for cleanliness, turn down service is offered, and a few other nice amenities that make things a little nicer, Other than being slightly off the beaten path i don't know why this hotel is not ranked higher, the metro stop is right around the corner, and cabs are fair priced.

74. Next, the negatives: (1) completed online check in (received e-mail with 'Your room is ready') only to find room not ready; (2) once a room was finally located (room 230), we entered to find it lookiing directly out at a large mass of air conditioning units--asked to switch since staying six nights--took two requests and finally ended up in this room for two nights then moved to room 730--same room but nice view; (3) requested sheet set for pullout sofa at 6:00 p.m.--returned at 11:15 p.m. wanting to quickly put kids to bed but no sheets delivered; (4) requested wake up call, was asked if we'd like a second call 15 minutes later, we said yes, they did not call (yes, we needed the second call that day); (5) returned at 7:30 p.m. one evening to find our morning coffee tray still sitting outside our room (I'm being picky on this one); (6) used stairwell to save time because of slow elevators, and the east stairwell smelled really awful, as did the halls on the east end--the west stairwell and halls smelled fine; (7) pool and surroundings are very pretty, but at least when we were there, the water was very dirty (husband told me not to wear my goggles and look under water because it was disgusting); (8) we have a son with a life threatening food allergy so asked about food at the pool bar and was told they'd get back to me but never did.

181. Upon driving up the property was not that impressive - BUT upon stepping out of the taxi things started picking up - from first greeting to the final greeting during my 5 night stay the staff were excellent - the concierge could have handled an attitude adjustment (not helpful, not friendly, seemed annoyed to be asked routine questions) but all other staff were among the best in my travels - beautiful scented lobby (smelled of fresh flowers which were prominently displayed) & the lobby seating areas were well enjoyed by guests in conversation - the elevators were small & slow, but the hotel is older & has such historical significance that it really didn`t matter - history was tastefully displayed - it was like being in a museum if you cared to read all the information scattered around the property (even on the cards left in the room at night during the turn down service!) - speaking of turn down: I had that service free and without request as an Omni Select guest (a great immediate satisfaction rewards program), but it`s available free upon request to all other guests - another Select guest benefit is the free morning beverage selection delivered to your room with your morning paper (2 beverages, cold &/or hot) - the room was large with a view of the very nice pool & hot tub & the adjacent residential area of impressive homes - other than slamming guest room doors there was no noise from adjacent rooms - the hallways were quiet & the ice machines were enclosed in a room behind a door so there was no noise, nor was there noise from the elevator - the gift shop & snack shop were nice - I never visited the hotel restaurant but I had a sample taste in the lobby one evening and the bite was quite tasty & friends who dined there spoke well of it - I had room service 5 days & every day it was timely in delivery & relatively correct in the order & the food was better than decent - I was at the Omni for a conference & did not think they could handle the large attendance & yet the staff functioned smoothly to move crowds in the right directions - well done - we would have thought we were the only guests.
