We booked and prepaid for a queen room through expedia ($228/night). Upon arrival we were given a room with only 1 double bed. The room itself was less than 10 feet wide, had no desk and no chair. When I returned to the front desk I was informed that room type is never guaranteed either through expedia OR through Omni itself. In addition, the hotel does not have a business center.
I found the switch of room type unprofessional, but the lack of a desk and/or chair and lack of a business center to be unacceptable. The hotel advertises all rooms come with an executive desk and does not make any reference to the fact there are any rooms with beds smaller than queen size.
The manager on duty the night of my arrival was a very kind man who attempted to resolve the problem. To counter this, when he walked away, his colleague advised me I should just "get drunk and pass out" so I would not remember the room. Ultimately, half way through my stay (and after hours at the front desk) I was moved to a better room. Had I only stayed in this larger room I would have had a different impression of the hotel. However, knowing the hotel has no guarantees and is knowingly numerous guests each night leaves me with an unfavorable impression.
Room Tip: Do not get rooms ending with"11"--- I.e. 411, 511, 611. These rooms are less than 10 feet...

First we want to apologize that you didn't get a queen room. Room type is guaranteed through our website and Expedia if your confirmation states as such. We are very sorry that we didn't have the room you booked. Second, some of our smaller rooms do not have a desk. We are working on a solution for the smaller rooms to provide a workspace that will fit in these rooms. Third, we regret our associates remark as a viable solution to your problem. We're glad that we were able to move you to a larger room half way through your stay. Thank you for your review. We will address all these issues to improve our hotel. We will also follow up with you privately for more information.
