Summary of reviews
Guests say
Guests appreciated the friendly and helpful staff, as well as the comfortable room sizes. However, many reviews highlighted significant cleanliness issues, particularly in bathrooms, and some dissatisfaction with the breakfast options.

Pros (+) Comfortable bed, nice turndown service in the evenings - even asking about water, etc.
Cons (-) Was told it was a conference center / riverfront view but was actually an entrance view with the front of the hotel covering any possible conference / riverfront view. Unable to change due to availability of room type. First day, room was not fully stocked with towels and soaps as the other days
Pros (+) The location was great and the staff was very friendly. They had citrus water in the lobby and the bartender there made the best Pimms Cup I’ve ever had. The beds are comfy and you don’t hear any street noise since the area is quieter than the French Quarter. It is an doable walking distance from the French Quarter and also just a 2-3 min walk from the street car line...although don’t rely on the ...
Cons (-) If you are looking for a relaxing getaway where you sleep in past 9am, then this is not the hotel for you. The housekeeping staff starts their rounds before 9am and bang in and out of each room several times before moving on. I could hear them even when we’re on the other side of the floor. Also, unless you are out of the room by 8:30 and stay out until 8pm, they won’t clean your room. I stayed he...

Pros (+) When you first walk into the Omni Riverfront the lobby is very very upscale with the bar being right there also the staff was excellent with William at the bar and I know I'm going to say her name wrong but we checked in later in the evening and raylon was absolutely the best and we do a fair amount of traveling and she was absolutely friendly and fantastic she almost made me cancel my other reser...

Cons (-) It would have been helpful to have clear instructions regarding the fact that an airport shuttle should be booked 24 hours in advance. I was not aware and had to order a cab.
Cons (-) When we arrived door service was great but the front desk lady was very disrespectful. We arrived a couple hours early before our original check in time at 3 and it seemed like she was bothered by a previous incident. No eye contact and we could barely hear her speak because she spoke so low. The overall stay was mediocre, the last night fire alarms continued to go off through out the night making...

Pros (+) We enjoyed staying at the Omni. Very comfortable beds, courteous staff. Hotel is located away from all the hustle and bustle but still within walking distance of everything. There was an outlet center right across the street which was great too.
Pros (+) I thoroughly enjoyed my first trip to New Orleans, and our lodging was a big part of it. The room was clean, very comfortable bed. All of the staff was very helpful, the concierge gave us many tips.
Pros (+) Very nice helpful staff! Everything we wanted to see and do was pretty much within walking distace. It was nie to have a mall across the street!!!
