Substandard - not a good hotel for business, and desperately in need of a renovation. 1. Hallways and rooms were dim, though the beds were comfortable. 2. There were no outlets anywhere near the desk to plug a phone/laptop in to. 3. Furniture was very dated. 4. Rooms were not quiet to say the least. I could hear ...

The Uptown location was perfect for the purpose of our trip. We were in town for a football game. It is a nice walk from the Omni to the BOA Stadium.

This Omni came highly recommended based on its location and the size of the suites. As I was planning a bachelor party to include the Panthers game, this was a perfect fit.\n\nCheck-in was speedy on a Friday evening. I had two suites and the rooms were as advertised. The tv was not working in one of the rooms, which...

After multiple flat out miserable experiences at the Center City Hilton, I tried out the Omni and have been going back ever since.

Great location but not the best value. Tiny bathrooms - could barely close the door with the rug. Noisy guests had a party - we could hear the door slam as our beds were positioned on the wall of the hall. Poor design. Security finally broke the party up at 1:30 am. Lots of other hotel choices in the area.

Location was excellent! Rooms were very basic. For the price I expected a lot more. The hotel is in need of an upgrade. \n\nI was here for a USF bowl game and this was the team hotel. The location was next to the EpiCenter which had plenty of entertainment and restaurant options.\n\nIf I got a good deal, I'd come back.

Great window view and we received grade A customer service from the front desk to housekeeping. Had an issue with our air conditioning but maintenance was up within minutes to fix. I gave 3 stars because the room smelled of cigarette smoke and they are located around the dance clubs which you can hear from the room.
