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.
