We stayed at the Omni just for one night for going to festivals around Chicago. We don't live very far from Chicago so we took an early train in and arrived at the hotel around 10:30 AM. We were planning on just having our luggage stored so we could right away head out but the front desk rep asked if we were willing to wait just 5-10 minutes, we might be able to check in right away.
We decided to wait and it was really worth it. We were given a 20th story king suite with a nice view. He even apologized that a room wasn't ready immediately....we never expected to have a room that early so already we our expectations were met!
Room was very nice with a bedroom separate from the living area, wet bar and nice bathroom amenities. There was a coffee maker too but we are Omni Select members and they give you a request to complete for the morning and will bring coffee and juice to your room with a newspaper.
We headed out and about and returned tired and ready to rest at the end of the day. So, decided to order room service pretty late....10 PM. The operator said it would take roughly 45 minutes for the food, we weren't really happy but thought....we are late so we will wait. Roughly 25 minutes later we had our food. It was good too. Burgers but with fresh made salads that they specially made since we didn't want the options given on the menu. I like that the food is served on a rolling table too so you don't have to sit eating off a coffee table.
We had turn down service with Evian water delivered just prior to our room service.
Bed was really comfortable and I had requested extra foam pillows and they were waiting at our arrival. The next day we had breakfast in the 676 Restaurant. We just decided on the buffet and it was very good. Fresh fruits that actually not only looked good but tasted good....strawberries, melon, pineapple, etc. Waffles, fresh made omelets, cereals, bagels, etc. Price wasn't bad for Chicago either and I loved their giant coffee cups since we are big coffee drinkers.
Check out was easy...just dial a number and you are ready.
We would most definitely stay at the Omni again. Service was great, hotel has a very nice design. Fitness center was small but had options of equipment. I liked that they have a sun deck with a very nice view of the city. There is construction going on right next door but we never heard a thing in the hotel. Location is very good since it is right on Michigan Avenue in the middle of everything.
