“Great location and hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

person found this review helpful

We have stayed at the omni several times for weekends in the city and have never had A bad experience. Our room was large and clean and we had a nice view of the park and the river. The bed was very comfortable. The staff is professional and friendly. We used the valet parking which altho expensive is very convenient. The omni is located within walking distance of the restaurants and clubs in old city and head house square. Weekend rates can be very reasonable if there is not a big event going on. The downstairs bar is very comfortable. We missed Sunday breakfast and ended up at the brunch which was very nice with great variety but a little expensive. Had a great stay.

“Omni in Philadelphia”

The staff was completely professional, knowledgeable, pleasant, and welcoming. The location is very central to most of the historical sites and nearby restaraunts, and bars. You can stroll around surrounding blocks and not feel intimidated. This was a great experience overall and would definitely stay at The Omni again. Our room was clean and updated and didn't feel disgusted at all. Also, if you don't feel like leaving the hotel for any drinks you can lounge at the bar area for a nice tranquil atmosphere. Two thumbs

“Bang for your Buck”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

This hotel is located in a very central part of the city. You have access to major sites, and to small cafes and restaurants. If it were a warmer day, we would have walked to the art museum and back. The only downside? $37 a day for valet parking.

“Great Hotel, Great Location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

people found this review helpful

Stayed in this hotel in December with my family & it was a wonderful experience. Had 2 adjoining rooms (king, 2 queens) on the 9th floor & the views were spectacular! Overlooking Independence Park & listening to the clickety clack of the horse & buggies going by - it felt quite authentic. We also by chance had a corner room & the light from all of the windows was amazing. If possible, request a corner room on a high floor. Location in the historic district couldn't be better - walking distance to South St. restaurants, Liberty Bell, Betsy Ross, Market St. & a short cab ride to museums. Much more charming staying in this colonial part of town than in the business districts. You truly get a feel of the birthplace of America.

Staff was incredibly welcoming from the minute we checked our car into valet parking ($37/day, steep but very worth it) as well as the front desk and any requests we might have had (bedding for the pullout sofa bed for my daughter).

As a Select Guest member (worth signing up for, no cost), you also get a free pot of coffee (or beverage of choice) delivered right to your room which is a great little perk.

Rooms were super clean & beds very comfortable. Nice pool which was great for the kids (but perhaps could stay open a little later??).

Side note (not related to hotel): GREAT dining experience at Marrakesh, authentic Moroccan restaurant on quaint little side street near South St. not far from hotel. Go hungry!!

Would highly recommend this hotel & hope to return again.

Room Tip: High floors have great views of Independence Park. Corner rooms have great light.

“Classy in old Philadelphia”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

Very very nice hotel. Large comfortable room overlooking the park. Excellent
service. Free WiFi and a nice inviting bar area in the lobby. Pricing was very
competitive for the area with many excellent restaurants nearby.

Room Tip: Ask for a room overlooking the park
