Omni Shoreham Hotel
4.0 star property
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (1642)
"The staff is responsive and kind.This hotel is hit or miss in terms of rooms. It is an older hotel, and some rooms are lovely. All rooms are nicely decorated. Some of the rooms in various annexes are very small or remote. Temperature control is highly unpredictable (very hot or very cold with inability to control). For conferences, the food is OK, but definitely not great even for a conference. Nice location near transportation and zoo. A few decent restaurants and CVS are nearby."

"The hotel is a historic place and shows its age but still is a very comfortable environment. Eventhough it is across the street from a 5star property, getting a taxi is time consuming. Breakfast was good but the bar closed early. If you're out to a show or dining, when you get back to the hotel it's pretty much only a place to sleep. "
