We stayed at the Omni Downtown on 8th street. It was just two blocks from the Austin music scene on 6th St and three blocks from many great restaurants on 5th St. The hotel staff was great - super friendly and helpful. The rooms were very nice and the hotel had everything we needed when we were there. We could... More

Stayed here for a conference. Overall good experience. Highly recommend a room on the outside of the hotel...mine overlooked a church and there was some noise from nearby 6th Street partiers but it wasn't that bad (I was there over a weekend). Room was nice and the staff was great. I had a problem with the air conditioning and they... More

It is a great hotel to stay at along with a great location. Stayed there for my nephews graduation from University of Texas. So the location was just down the street from where he lives. The valet parking attendants we're extremely helpful and friendly when we drove up. The bellman we're also helpful, when we did arrive they we're short... More

We thank you for the accolades regarding the customer service of our staff. We do appreciate you taking time to recognize their service. There is one slight correction in your review...the even numbered rooms are our exterior facing rooms. Odd numbered face the interior atrium. We look forward to having you back again in the near future. More

The only thing that kept this from being excellent was the s l o w elevators, poor signage to rest rooms and elevators and my key card had to be replaced 4 times in 5 days (kept getting wiped out.) The personnel was very accomodating and apologetic for the slipups.

First off - if you decide to stay here - DO NOT book thru any other site. I booked my (non-refundable) stay 2 months in advance for a double suite - there were 4 of us traveling together. When I get there, they give us a King Standard room. Did I mention there were 4 on the reservation (only 3... More

I recently decided to give the Omni a try and I am glad I did. What a great hotel. From the checking to check out this hotel provides exceptional customer service and true luxury accommodations. The bedding is exceptionally comfortable and the room is quiet and clean.

I had a very positive experience at this Omni hotel. First, let me say that the location is great in downtown Austin- close to the capitol, the Driskill, 6th St, and other shops/restaurants. Upon check-in, staff was friendly and speedy. The rooms were great- lots of space, clean, nice bathrooms, well lit. The bed and pillows were so comfortable- I... More

My husband and I live in west Austin but decided to have a "stay-cation" downtown. We stayed at the Omni and were very impressed with the service. Everyone was extremely friendly and accommodating especially the valet, concierge and the receptionist! It was our anniversary so the hotel had chocolate dipped strawberries and wine with a handwritten note in our room.... More

The Omni chain of hotels offers perhaps the consistently best hotel experience among the large, upscale (but not luxury) hotel chains. This hotel is a further example of the superiority of the chain. Here is what sets the hotel apart from its competitors: 1. If you join Omni Select (for frequent travelers), which you can join at any time, you... More

Stayed two nights, not much to add, recent reviews do it well. The hotel has fantastic staff, nice clean rooms, great location, close to 6th and South Congress streets. Love the large glass lobby. Would definitely stay here again.
