• More than willing to please staff! very comfortable beds, very clean.
• The door to the bathroom made it awkward to get in and out.

“This hotel is convenient to public transportation. There are wonderful restaurants nearby (and in the hotel) and is about a 20 minute walk to the National Cathedral. The hotel has a spacious beautifully-decroated lobby with plenty of staff to see to your needs. I highly recommend this hotel and would love to stay there again!”

• Elegant and impressive.
• Close proximity to rundown section.

“Hotel is very extravagant and luxurious. Hotel staff were helpful, polite, and friendly. I did not utilize any hotel room services. Felt like I was out of my league staying at this hotel as I am not used to such an upscale setting.”

• Elegant, clean, quiet, convenient to restaurants, tourist sites and public transport.

“Wonderful and romantic stay for my anniversary. The room was quiet with a beautiful view of the G.Washington Memorial. We stay in D.C. every year for our anniversary, and this was our finest stay. Elegant, yet simple.”

• Quiet, wide room, close to Metro, perks with frequent guest program.
• Room in parkview area was far away from main building.

“Big hotel, for conventions, business travelers and package trips. Huge lobby and common areas. As it is a high-scale, business oriented hotel, all things inside (food) are a bit overpriced. But it is a nice hotel, rooms are comfortable, in a quiet area of DC, near a park and it is just a few minutes away from downtown Washington by metro.”

• Hotel is located 1 block from Metro, but as a guest you are surrounded in an elegant, quite cocoon. Well trained staff, elegantly appointed public area.
• The only available parking is valet @ $28 a day. Yes, you can come and go for that one rate, but still quite pricy.

“Very elegant hotel from another era, a quite Island insulated from the hustle and bustle of DC. The public areas were gorgeous and the grounds were immaculately kept as well. Very comfortable room, wonderful, quilted pillow top mattress with great down / feather pillows, roomy bathroom with quality shampoo / loton / ect. Hotel staff was well trained and friendly, all aimed to please
you as a guest. I ask for extra pillows and was treated to huge, down filled pillows as an answer to my request. Food in hotel was a bit pricy as one would expect in a 4 star hotel, but 20 or so Restaurants were with in easy walking distance, conveniently located between Hotel and the Zoo / Woodley Park Metro stop.”

• Friendly staff, generously sized room with view of the manicured grounds and Washington Monument, historic building, very clean.
• One concierge was snooty.

“Not downtown, but easy to get there on the Metro, which is a convenient block away and a very efficient system. Beautiful area, easy walks to the National Zoo and the National Cathedral. Lots of restaurants in the neighborhood if you don't want to eat in the hotel. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.”

• Everything.

“Beautiful, luxurious and historical. The Omni Shoreham was everything I could have hoped for in upscale lodging in the DC area. The room was immaculate, the bathroom was spacious, and the bed... oh my! I didn't want to get up. There are lots of restaurants and conveniences nearby. The staff was very friendly and eager to help. Overall, it was fantastic.”

• The room was spacious and comfortable.
• We had a leak in our ceiling.

“The Omni is an older hotel, but much effort has been made to make the facility user-friendly and comfortable. Our room could have been a bit cleaner (I dusted off the dresser after I arrived), but the appointments and amenities were top-notch. Very large room, rather small bathroom. The staff was really terrific--very attentive and good-natured. The pool area, which includes a small wading pool and hot tub, and a bar, is quite nice.”

• No self park options, bathrooms were a little small.

“Fantastic, historic hotel. Lobby and grounds emote the elegant best of a bygone era. The 2007 remodel has brought the comfort of the rooms up to modern standards. (i.e. wireless internet/flat screen TV's). Less than a block to Metro station which made travel to key areas in Washington great, without driving/parking.”

• Beautifully appointed with good service for overnight stay.
• We overlooked a ballroom rooftop - couldn't see any nature.

“The hotel, and I am sure most rooms, are beautiful. Our room did not live up to the hype though, as there was no view from the window (other than the banquet room roof), the AC unit was very loud, and the in-room movies did not work. We stayed just one night, so sleeping was the primary concern and the bed was very comfortable.”
