Sept 21st Part II - the road to San Diego...

And so I landed in Los Angeles at 3pm in the afternoon, six and a half hours before I had taken off from Auckland. God these timezones do my head in! Fortunately I had managed to sleep for pretty much the entire flight so I was not too morose for my drive. Once landed I collected my baggage and caught the courtesy bus to the Hertz car hire depot, which was about 10 minutes drive away. I had reserved a sports convertible and I was not disappointed when I went to collect it - it was gorgeous. S...

First day in San Diego

My first morning in San Diego and my first opportunity to see it in daylight. The curtains were drawn back I was treated to blue skies, sunshine and a view of the sparkling harbour. What more could a girl want? I tell you what, she wants shopping! After a pleasant continental breakfast baseball guy, here-on-in known as BG, and I decided to head down to the Mexican border to do some shopping. As I had the car, and as it was a convertible, I was left to do the driving whilst he was supposed to ...

More baseball......

Today was going to be one of those days. You know, you go to bed so late (or early in this case) that you wake up almost before you've fallen asleep and you end up feeling tired all day. Yep, today was definitely one of those. So, after my two hours sleep I was pleased that I didn't have to do any work today - it was a Sunday afternoon after all. However, there was a 1pm baseball game so I couldn't have a lie in for all that long. I headed out at about 10am for a stroll into town to see what ...

San Diego Zoo - go there!!!

Managed to wake up a bit earlier today and was pleased to once again draw back the curtains and see sunshine. I was so excited by all this great weather I thought I'd actually put a dress on for a change and let my legs have an airing! After breakfast we popped into town for a bit more shopping - I needed another suitcase after all the shopping we'd done on Saturday. Ended up buying a few more bits before we headed over to Mission Bay to check out the beaches. We didn't stay too long because ...

Alone in San Diego....

I had to get up early again today to take BG to the airport so he could get up to Los Angeles. I was staying in San Diego for an extra day because the less time I spend in LA the better to be honest. After breakfast we headed off and after watching him leave I headed back into town. Whilst I still had the car out I drove round to La Jolla to check out more nice beaches and then went on to the lighthouse where there are some pretty excellent views of downtown San Diego. I returned the car and ...

PRICELINE.COM

I have not been a big believer in PRICELINE.COM until my trip to San Diego. I had to go there for business the day after Thanksgiving. I was not too pleased about it so I decided I wanted to stay in a nice hotel downtown. I got online and did some research for hotels in the Gasslight District in downtown San Diego. As usual most of the hotels were well over $150 a night... So I decided to try priceline.com. I plugged in the information, and picked a 4-Star Luxury hotel... I got the downtown O...

Historical Traveler Reviews of Omni San Diego

Don't stay at the lower level or bring an ear plug

from A TripAdvisor Member
We stayed at the Omni in late May. The staff were courteous, service was good. The rooms are clean and well designed. Everything was great until 12 midnight when we hear this loud band noise coming from somewhere. I call the front desk immediately to find out what's going on. The staff told me that they had a problem with the next door night club. If you want to stay at this hotel, it is a must to stay at the highest level you can and away from the night club. I was disappointed because when I check in at the hotel , I have specifically asked for a quiet room. The front desk give me a room on the 9th floor and you can hear the loud night club very clearly. People were screaming and singing all night long. The management did eventually move us to a different area of the hotel. We need two double bed room and somehow their computer system were all mess up. The rooms that their computer show as 2 double bed were all king size bed . We moved from floor to floor with my 3 years old and 5 years old eager to sleep. It was a disastrous night. It took two hours for the bellman and us to finally settle into a king size bed with an additional roll away.

Two thumbs up!

I stayed at the Omni, for the July 4th weekend. I heard it was the new place to stay. From my first steps into the lobby, I was in love. The building was incredible. The rooms are so much better then I could ever of imagined. Oh and the service! I stay in hotels 20 nights a month for work,and I have never had such great service as I did at the Omni. The two gentalmen working the overnight shift were some of the niceiest and most helpful front desk agents, I have ever met. One was named Chad, and I did't catch the others name, he was tall and goofy looking. Reminded me of Bachelor Bob. John the bell man helped me with my bags, and had unparalled knowledge of not only the hotel but of downtown san diego.

If you stay in only one hotel stay at the Omni San Diego, it will blow your away!

Great Room, Great Rate

from A TripAdvisor Member
Every year I make a trip to San Diego to visit friends or to get away from LA Traffic. I usually stay at cheap (note *****) hotels or motels. This time I checked out the Omni on their website and decided to give them a try because of a great rate.

I arrived on July 17th and stayed for 2 nights. The room far exceeded my expectations. (Then again I'm use to cheap, ***** hotels.) The room was immaculate. I had a view of the Petco Park and Gaslight District. The bathroom was my favorite. It was clean, had enough towels and every amenity I could possible need and did not have to go out and buy to use.

Please take advantage of their concierge service. The people there were very friendly and gave me detailed directions to a car wash as well as the best way for me to get to a friend's house. You can even ask to have the feather pillows replaced with foam pillows.

The only draw back is the construction going on near-by. There is no parking. You pay for a valet service at the hotel which costs over $20 a night. Other than that, I would definitely come back again. It's so close to everything.

Elegant luxury in the heart of the city

from Atlantatraveler78
I stayed at the Omni on business and found it to be and excellent choice. The friendly staff was very helpful and always gave us maps to everywhere we asked about, which I thought was a nice touch. Our great corner room overlooked the ballpark and the bay and the huge bathroom was especially nice. It was modern yet comfortable, a nice change from the frilly florals in other hotels. The Omni is right across from the Gaslamp District, home to tons of dining and shopping options. I would definitely stay at the Omni again!

Excellent staff

from A TripAdvisor Member
I stayed at the Omni for one night last week, and was very impressed with the staff. Everyone I encountered was extremely polite, helpful, and intent on fulfilling my needs. The rooms were clean and comfortable. My room overlooked downtown and Petco Park. I had a great view of the fireworks after the game, and even saw the game winning home run! But the highlight of my stay was how I was cared for by the entire staff of the hotel. I'd gladly stay again at the Omni.

New is not always good!

from A TripAdvisor Member
I traveled to San Diego for a relaxing weekend and decided to try a new hotel in town, the Omni. It is located downtown next to the new ballpark.

I've stayed at many other hotels in the area before (I like to stay near the Gaslight area), including the Hyatt and the Hilton. Both of those hotels were so much better than this new mess of a hotel.

First of all, I could barely get into the place because there was a game going on at the ballpark. In fact, the police would not let me to the front door, so I parked a ways away and walked in. The lobby was a zoo, with people everywhere, and all of them headed to the game. I thought I was in Wal-Mart, not a luxury hotel. There was nice looking staff everywhere, but they were attending to others.

The room was nice enough, but small and a little crowded. The rooms at the Hyatt are better. And the Hilton, right across the street, is so much nicer. There was a party out by the pool and I had a hard time getting there. It was not a relaxing place.

If you have a chance to stay at the Omni...don't!



Loved the Omni

from DTierman
I surprised my husband with the Omni Bed and Baseball package last weekend and we had a wonderful time. Our room was upgraded to a corner room with balcony and large windows. We enjoyed the view of both Petco Park and Coronado. We loved the gorgeous bathroom and the tranquility of the furnishings/bedding. The staff was very professional and accomodating and we loved the server out by the pool bar. I enjoy traveling and also like to sample local hotels and we will definitely be back at the San Diego Omni.

Well Done, Omni!

from A TripAdvisor Member
My stay at the Omni 17 May - 21 May was a first time at any of the Omni hotels. I'm an extremely "picky" traveller, and I loved it! The friendliness of and service provided by the staff is, in my opinion, is second to none. The hotel itself has a zen-like tranquility. My room was extremely comfortable and well-appointed, but the bathroom truly awesome. The Gaslamp District is right across the street, and it's a 10 minute walk down a path starting behind the hotel to Seaport Village and the waterfront. I usually stay at the a Carlton or Meridien hotel when possible in the US and Pearls in the Pacific, but the Omni San Diego has outclassed them! I am now intent in visiting all the Omnis in Texas and Mexico for weekend getaways to find out if the whole chain is this fantastic.

Well done Omni!

Loved the Omni

from missythegreat
What a beautiful spot. We went with the Bed and Baseball package for 219 a night. The room was very nice and very comfortable. We had a decent view--could see half of the new Petco Park --looked down on the construction of the new parking garage. Alot of construction going on around the hotel but the location was just perfect. The gaslamp district was wonderful and so was Horton Plaza. The ideal location for a baseball fan--a pedestrian bridge connects the hotel with the stadium. The package included 2 game tickets but next time I would upgrade and get better seats. The tix with the 219 package were upper deck.

The pool is awesome on the 6th floor and the staff were very helpful. They are still getting "the bugs" out--as we had a problem with overcharges when we checked out but they took care of it all and we left happy.

Only complaint--I thought the staff in the adjoining restaurant/bar were a bit loud--we sat at the bar one night and on more than one occasion heard profanity from the staff when they were speaking to one another. Really not appropriate in this business.

We will be back. Beautiful hotel and superb location.

Nice

from A TripAdvisor Member
Nice new hotel. A little disorganized two weeks after the opening but staff seemed intent on serving guests. Good points: nice new rooms with good views, great pool, close to gaslamp & downtown. No so good points: pricey, bathrooms are semi-private (louvers on doors & internal "windows"), hotel located right next to the baseball stadium so area gets overrun on game nights -- but I'd probably stay again.
