• Great location, walk to historic buildings.
• Rooms were a little worn, holes in bed spread.

“Excellent location, 2 block walk to Liberty Bell, good restaurants all well within walking distance. Pool under construction but they provided passes for the pool at the Sheraton just a few blocks away. Self parking is around the corned for $20 per day.”

• The service was fantastic.
• The bedding could use some updating.

“This hotel is well-situated, right off of I-95 in a very exciting area of the city. Street parking is difficult at night because a lot of the up scale establishments claim the street for valet. The rooms in the hotel are very nice and well-accommodated The hotel lobby and amenities are well-maintained and offer the luxury that one looks for in a 4 star hotel. The staff is very friendly and helpful.”

“Nice location. Comfortable beds, pillows, towels, and linens. Slightly dated furnishings. Large rooms, great views. Staff was mediocre. Valet did not help us out to our car, just handed us our keys and then later walked over to collect his tip. Reception was dull. It appeared as if we had woken them up (11 pm).”

• It's convenient to the sights most Philadelphia tourists would be interested in seeing.
• The room was not as well-lighted as I might've liked.

“This hotel is in a great location, near most of the sights that tourists would be interested in seeing as well near the nightlife of Old City. Plus, the hotel has all the qualities that one would expect from a four-star hotel. Highly recommended.”

• Close to variety of entertainment and attractions.
• Hotel was empty, not a soul around, yet staff took over 20 minutes to get my vehicle from valet. They were not very accommodating.

“Overall appearance was excellent, rooms were tasteful and extremely clean, located in great area which was in walking distance to restaurants, entertainment and attractions. My only complaint was the staff was not very accommodating to customer needs and took an excessive amount of time to accomplish tasks.”

• location- Right in the middle of the historic district, close enough to walk to everything else.
• nothing bad at all.

“The Omni hotel at Independence Park is the perfect location for any group of travelers; couples, families, even business people. My daughter and I used it as a base to explore the city. We spent a little time at the new Constitution Center a block away then took the phlash bus uptown for only $1.00 a piece. Dinner was a little Afghan restaurant just a short walk from the hotel and the Ritz at the Bourse was literally around the corner for an evening at the movies. The next day we walked to the Reading Terminal Market and loaded with bags, took the Phlash bus back to the hotel. The valet got our car, and we were good to go. The location and valet service parking made this a very, very convenient trip. With the price we got, the Omni was everything we could have asked for.”

• Service was terrible, none to help with bags or valet car extremely poor restaurant

“This hotel performed like a 1 star location. There was no one to valet our car when we arrived; no one there to help with bags. The mini bar refrigerator was warm. There was no noise insulation from the room next door to ours. The restaurant was terrible. There was no one there to seat us. We had no napkins, no spoons, and dirty knives. Tea and coffee being delivered with no cups to pour into. No sugar for the coffee and worst of all our waitress was not around to help us take care of all these problems.”

• I liked the location, it was perfect. The staff was very accommodating to their guests. Very friendly!
• I thought the bed (mattress) was rather old, not very comfortable. I do not like feather down pillows.

“Overall the hotel was great! Location excellent.Only negative.. I just was not happy with the bed (mattress) it was older and not a pillow top, for a four star hotel I would like a pillow top mattress. Also I am not a girl who likes to sleep on feather down pillows. They should give an option of both types.”

• LOCATION! Right beside Liberty Bell and Independence Hall.
• This hotel did not comply with my request for foam pillows due to allergies; had to call and correct.

“Fantastic location, friendly staff, elegant lobby, superb bed, great bathroom w/ shaving/makeup magnifying mirror. Just be sure to stress the importance of foam pillows if you are allergic to feathers as I am...they did not seem to take this request seriously until I went down to the front desk and complained.”

• The staff was exceedingly helpful and pleasant and our stay relaxed us wonderfully.
• There's so much helpful staff we ended up tipping a bit more than expected b/c there were so mnay ppl to tip.

“The Omni more than met our needs. It's location was fantastic for visiting Historic Philadelphia, and still close to South Street and Market Street shopping. The staff was incredibly helpful, everything from complimentary cookies and milk for our 2 yr old to dining recommendations, free toothbrushes for the ones we forgot to pack and getting us a flat rate in a cab to our final destination upon leaving. The room was spacious, clean and the bathroom fully stocked to fit our needs. We'll stay there again when we can.”

• The hotel was impeccable. It surpassed my expectations for the quality of hotel and cost
• The restaurant is usually closed on Mondays. Due to it being Valentines Day, it was open but with a prix fixe menu for couples.

“Wonderful hotel! I loved it! From the moment I walked into the lobby to the minute I left. The express check-in..my key was waiting and ready for me! The rooms are spacious with all amenities. Lots of extras, as well! The room service and foold was excellent. Not a complaint or care in the world when I was at the Omni Philadelphia. ”

“The Omni delivers as promised. Very well located, a well appointed, lovely lobby and comfortable sitting area, with a similarly appealing bar attached. Staff were helpful whenever asked for assistance. My room overlooked the park across the street with a terrific view past that and across the city. The room itself was large, clean, marbled bathroom. I thought this was a great value and would heartily recommend it to anyone.”

“My husband and I used the weekend as a "getaway". The staff was very warm and friendly. The lounge was very cozy, with a nice view of the street. Valet parking was very convenient, and a good value, because parking in the area was not very convenient. There were many restaurants and even one with live blues within walking distance. I would definately go back again.”
