No plastic bag in ice bucket. Hairs again in sink, on floor & toilet… at least shower curtain was clean which is always plus at Omni. (Many hotel’s shower curtain stink and moldy, but never Omni!) "

"We got upgraded so that was nice. The only downfall was the prices in the hotel bar and the store inside of it. Friday we bought a bottle of Chardonnay and they said it would be $50.00! We just about fell over but we’re stuck with no other options. That evening we went to the bar for a drink before bed. I was charged $30,00 for a glass of Chardonnay! He said it was a 9 oz glass but there was no way. I know my sizes. Then Saturday we go in the store to grab another bottle of the same Chardonnay....
