To start off with positives: I love the modern twist on an Art Deco theme. This hotel is stunning, in my opinion.
Kelsey at the front desk, and the gentlemen who was working with her (I didn't get his name unfortunately) were both so professional and wonderful to speak with. I expressed to them my concerns with some things that were miscommunicated to me during booking/check in. They were sympathetic and helped explain what I was missing. Then Kelsey took it upon herself to help remedy some of my concerns.
My server at breakfast was a kind soul to greet you first thing in the morning, and the bellhop who brought my bags to my room was super helpful and kind.
This was my husbands treat for Father's Day weekend. We got a top floor, corner room, and both of us were so in love with it. I have no complaints about the room. It was clean, interesting and the bed is super comfortable.
In my opinion, totally worth the extra money.
I was a little disgruntled by severe miscommunication when I checked in. That's okay. It was busy, I've worked in a hotel before, I understand how it can be. The woman who checked me in was a little rude because my license did not match the reservation. I explained I got married last month and am still waiting for my new ID to come. She acted like this was a never before seen incident. I showed her my temp license and we moved on, reluctantly.
After traveling and waiting in line, I did not feel welcomed but I dismissed it and kept positive anyway.
My concerns were less with the hotel and more with the guests around me. I was not under the impression that I had booked a party hotel for my husband and I. Our calm demeanor was matched by constant marijuana smoking and excessive drinking. While we did have a great time by the pool at the coin bar, the party didn't end for anyone else it seemed. We were woken up around 1:30 to screaming. Then again shortly after 2am to clapping, screaming, door slamming and drunken arguments in the room directly beside ours. This continued for an hour before I called the front desk to complain. When I had gone out to politely ask if they could quiet down, before I could say a word there was a woman on the floor in the hallway with everything falling out. I decided against it. Around 5am, both of us were able to fall back to sleep again. The noise continued even after the security spoke with them.
We woke up after a couple hours of rest to find that the lounge was closed and went downstairs for breakfast which was okay.
I scheduled a massage for my husband.
I think Omni Charlotte is intended for a great time. The coin bar was a riot, we met so many interesting and comical people. A few couples actually paid for our drinks because they could tell we are newly weds, and conversation was so pleasant. Tyler at the bar certainly puts up with a lot, especially as the night continues on. He was a pleasure! I loved the view from the roof. It was a cloudy day but everyone around us kept such great energy that it didn't even matter.
Walgreens in the hotel is an amazing feature. Talk about convenient.
If you're looking for a quiet getaway from kids and work, maybe stay across the street. If you're looking to drink and eat a lot, Omni Charlotte is it.
A very special shout-out to the employees who were kind, helpful, pleasant and professional. Thank you thank you.
Would I stay here again? Yes. The top floor was fabulous. We did have a great time. My husband is more "go with the flow" than I am, so when quiet/relaxing turned to crazy/party, he was down.
