Omni to leave Detroit.

Wasn't the Detroit Hilton Garden Inn developed by John Ferchill? Does he still have an ownership interest?

Amazed the Omni held on as long as it did. Even though the rooms were well maintained, the common areas, restaurant/bar, etc. were not. I always thought this hotel needed an outdoor pool. It had the grounds and could have differentiated itself from the other "downtown" properties. It would make a really nice retirement home with the large guestrooms, riverfront setting, etc.
It's great that it's closing for all us out-of-towners who can go to hotwire or priceline and be sure they won't get stuck with the Omni. Believe it or not, Priceline still rates it a 4* hotel.
