I stay more than 60 nights a year in hotels. I have the top frequent guest status at the Omni, Starwood and Hyatt.
The Omni is an older hotel on a busy corner. The lobby is nice. The staff is helpful. The rooms themselves are the size of usual hotel rooms and are in B+ condition.
The reason I checked out early and will not be staying at this Omni again is I did not get a good night's sleep because of the noise from the cars, buses, cable cars and sirens. I had a suite (which is just a very small sitting area connected to a standard-sized room). All of the suites have the same noise problem because all of them are on the corner of the hotel, overlooking the busy intersection. If you do not want a suite, the hotel (which footprint is shaped like the letter L), does have interior rooms that do not face either street. However, those rooms are small and have views of only the backs of neighboring buildings. I looked at an interior room on the highest floor; its view was of the massive air conditioning unit of a neighboring building.
Finally, the hotel's restaurant and parking are overpriced. For example, the American Breakfast (2 eggs, bacon or sausage, hash browns, toast, coffee and juice) is $25.95; the Cobb Salad is $19.95; the burger is $18.95; dinner entrees start at $30.95 and do not include any side dishes. Add to those prices California sales tax, 18% service charge and a $3.00 "guest dining charge." The only parking is valet, which costs $48.00 per night.
