This is such a lovely hotel -- it absolutely exceeded my expectations. Things I loved: -- The hotel is new (I heard it opened 6 months ago?) and it shows in how nice and clean the facilities are. I got a beautifully designed, modern room. I originally received a room facing construction and they were happy to switch it to a room with a beautiful view of the city. -- All of the staff was so kind, friendly, and helpful. -- They have an ADORABLE robot butler named Henry! The staff sent him up with a complimentary cookie shaped like the robot itself. He makes cute, R2D2-like noises when he drops off your stuff and asks you how your stay went. This was definitely a highlight of my stay. -- They give you a voucher for a free wine or beer to redeem at the rooftop bar. -- They have a nice cafe next to the lobby where they serve Craftsman & Wolves pastries. The design is so airy and open, and the cafe is very quiet and serene. -- Great location, right next to Oracle Park, only 15 min drive to SFO. The surrounding area is super safe and within walkable distance of lots of nice restaurants and cafes.

A return stay to the OMNI SF since pre-pandemic days and it was nice to see the same level of quality service: friendly staff from the doorman, front desk, restaurant, and especially housekeeping, all of whom me feel very welcomed. I also appreciated the coffee in the morning and evening, and apples throughout the day in the reception area. I chose the OMNI for its location - walking distance to many tourist attractions for down times (Embarcadero, Ferry Terminal, Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown etc), as well as work in the financial district. Had a lovely stay.

    Unless your children are very young (under 8 or 10) expect to be there most of the day. Not of interest for little ones. There are lockers at the entrance for 2quarters each time you open the locker. There is a change machine that provides quarters only. Bring lunch, snacks and water! And kids should dress in layers. There are some areas where they'll work up a sweat.

    I loved the location. It’s literally 2 mins walking from pier 39 and about 5 mins to the exploratorium. Also, the hotel catered to kids. It had a game room, and other fun things for kids to do.
