I was somewhat leery to book a hotel in downtown Detroit especially as I've always been a suburbanite. I was from the Detroit area and knew the downtown could be dicey. But we have had great luck with the Omni hotels and decided that our vacation plans called for a centrally-located hotel. We also wanted a hotel with personality and... more

The hotel is located in a dodgy area. They advise you not to go out alone at night. They recommend you to take the hotel shuttle and go Downtown. For me that is a drawback. Both dinner and breakfast are really bad. The menu is not good at all and the service is below average. I am sure that there... more

This hotel is a bit hard to find. It's located in an industrial area near the water. You can enjoy a wonderful view of the water and take a relaxing walk or have a meal in a very tranquil setting. My favorite part of this hotel was the outside property. Now the inside of the hotel was another story!! Horrible... more

I visited Detroit for a conference Feb. 28-30 and booked a king room at the Omni Detroit River Place. Originally, I was to arrive in Detroit around lunchtime on Friday, but due to schedule changes I took a later flight and got in close to 8:30 p.m. By the time I got a rental car and got downtown, it was... more

It's not all bad at the Omni Riverplace Detroit. In fact, with proper management, a makeover, and some customer service training I believe this hotel could have some great potential. As it stands however, I was quite disappointed with my stay at the end of February, 2008. The hotel is located in a rather dreary warehouse district a good distance... more

We stayed in the Omni Detroit for our Honeymoon, all the staff were amazing and so friendly and helpful. They left us wine and a congratulations card in our room. The room was fantastic, with a gorgeous river view and a view of Canada over the river. The food in the hotel was so nice especially the breakfast! We were... more

We stayed at the Omni for the Detroit Auto Show on Saturday, January 26, 2008. It was a sold out night. When we arrived at the hotel, we were told that we need to wait for the receptionist as she had stepped out. There was a crowd in the lobby and there was only one receptionist working. We finally found... more

We stayed at the Omni to go to a hockey game. It is a little hard to find, you feel like you are going down an alley of abandoned warehouses. The location is not very close to any of the sporting arenas or casinos, but they do provide transportation to the different places. You must find your own way back.... more
