This was our fourth stay at the Omni and again was not disappointed. On this trip though we also stayed at the SF Marriot due to a buisness commitment. I have to say that we thought the SF Marriot was big, cold and impersonal as compared to the Omni. We loved the cozy feeling of the Omni---smaller hotel, quiet area on the weekend and not bad during the week, a cable car right out front, North Beach a short walk away, the compimentary beverages in the morning, the hot apple cider in the evenings and the fact that we saw the same staff everyday during our stay. They got to know us and were very helpful and attentive to our travel plans. Not so at the SF Marriot! The Deluxe room was well appointed but not luxurious. The bathroom was well light and had a make-up mirror as well (something my girlfriend wanted to point out). We also ate dinner at Bob's Steakhouse and I have to say that was one of the best steaks that I have eaten in a long while----be aware that the prices are not for those on a budget but if you want to splurge then it is well worth it. For the price [though the Select Guest program] the Omni is well worth it. FYI, we have stayed in a Deluxe room to a Signature room from the 6th to 17th floor. We preferred the deluxe room on the 6th floor as we actually enjoyed hearing the clangging of the cable car bell. If you prefer quit then get a room above the 8th floor. Note that the views from the Signature rooms could be blocked by nearby buildings. Overall the Omni has everything I have come to enjoy about it and is our hotel of choice in SF.
