Omni Charlottesville Hotel

K. Lewis

All the reviews that list deficiencies were correct over and over and over again. Bathrooms tiny, if you're claustrophobic you'll hate them. Layout in a Mobile home or boat has more room. Rooms are dated and basically really tired. Renovation is about 10 yrs overdue. Staff is friendly, however Only real positive is location, if you want to be by pedestrian walk and main st. Otherwise I don't recommend. Plenty of better options at same or lower price point at other hotels. Sorry Omni, you can do better.

It’s absolutely absurd to me how much they charge yet how extremely underwhelming the rooms are. We got the nicest room and the bathrooms are microscopic! The bathroom door rubs up against the toilet seat because of how small the room is!!! The rooms smell extremely musty and the “executive suite” is just 2 normal rooms with a door in the middle and a couch in one instead of a bed. The wallpaper was peeling off the walls and this place is in need of some SERIOUS renovations. We were also supposed to receive a bottle of champagne in our room which we did not receive. While the staff is friendly, I do NOT recommend staying here.

My husband and I stayed here for a week while he was attending his on-grounds residency for his MBA program. The school set aside rooms for the students, so we didn't really have a choice in the hotel. And honestly I most likely would never stay here again, at least not by my own choice. Brownie points, they allowed us to bring our golden retriever after we called and asked (FYI: there is a $125 pet cleaning fee). The biggest perk about this hotel is its proximity to the downtown Charlottesville mall. It's within walking distance to a plethora of restaurants, coffee shops, bars, shops, and venues. It's also not too far from UVA, and I was able to walk from the hotel to Grounds a couple of times the week I was staying there with no issues. The rooms are incredibly outdated. The furniture, the wallpaper, the decor... everything feels like it was in vogue 20 years ago. It's definitely an older hotel and emulates that dated vibe. While the rooms were clean, it just didn't make for the most comfortable stay. There's no overhead lighting so I had to turn on all the lights practically all day if I was working in the room. The bathroom is very small. There's barely any clearance between the toilet and the door, and you have to shut the door to shower (to add to that, there's also no fan in the bathroom). There's also no conditioner, although they provide two different types of body cream. There is a parking garage with in and out privileges, which was a plus. You need your key card to get in and out of the garage. Upon arrival, pull up to the front of the hotel to check in and get your key card so you can then drive into the garage. You also need to the key card to use the elevators. There were a couple of times my card did not work right away and I had to retry again and again. Service was overall helpful and accommodating, with one exception. Typically, we asked for extra waters every day and we'd get them no questions asked. However, there was one time when my husband asked for a water and the front desk staff was about to hand him a bottle but all of a sudden, the manager on duty came up and reproachfully said it cost extra. It's not even like it was Pellegrino, Acqua Panna, or some artisan water. The attitude was what was particularly unpleasant. Overall, it's convenient to downtown mall, has vehicle in and out privileges, and is generally clean. However, I would highly recommend that Omni update this hotel to keep up with the other hotels in Charlottesville.

Beautiful and clean but somewhat dated hotel. Great staff and food. Next to the downtown mall, so very convenient. Room was nice but not great. Excellent, attentive, kind staff. Plenty of parking. I would stay there, again.
