Pros (+) Comfortable bed, nice turndown service in the evenings - even asking about water, etc.
Cons (-) Was told it was a conference center / riverfront view but was actually an entrance view with the front of the hotel covering any possible conference / riverfront view. Unable to change due to availability of room type. First day, room was not fully stocked with towels and soaps as the other days

Pros (+) The location was great and the staff was very friendly. They had citrus water in the lobby and the bartender there made the best Pimms Cup I’ve ever had. The beds are comfy and you don’t hear any street noise since the area is quieter than the French Quarter. It is an doable walking distance from the French Quarter and also just a 2-3 min walk from the street car line...although don’t rely on the ...
Cons (-) If you are looking for a relaxing getaway where you sleep in past 9am, then this is not the hotel for you.

Cons (-) It would have been helpful to have clear instructions regarding the fact that an airport shuttle should be booked 24 hours in advance. I was not aware and had to order a cab.

Cons (-) When we arrived door service was great but the front desk lady was very disrespectful. We arrived a couple hours early before our original check in time at 3 and it seemed like she was bothered by a previous incident. No eye contact and we could barely hear her speak because she spoke so low. The overall stay was mediocre, the last night fire alarms continued to go off through out the night making...

Pros (+) We enjoyed staying at the Omni. Very comfortable beds, courteous staff. Hotel is located away from all the hustle and bustle but still within walking distance of everything. There was an outlet center right across the street which was great too.
