Recently, I visited San Diego for work and stayed at the Omni San Diego. From arrival to check-in, everything was seamless. The rooms are modern and clean, though the AC didn't cool as much as expected despite being set to 60°F. Additionally, the safe in my room did not operate correctly due to a dead battery.
The hotel features a downstairs bar and restaurant called ACE PORTER. My initial visit for a quick lunch at the bar was pleasant, though the food options were limited. I ordered the ACE Burger for $19, which was disappointing and reminiscent of greasy patties from Smart & Final.
We returned for dinner due to convenience after a long day. Sammy, our server, made the experience exceptional with her attentive service and great recommendations. The chopped salad with steak was fantastic, and the fried pickles, while very salty, weren't horrible. However, I would love to see more IPA and other beer options. Sammy's outstanding service was the reason we returned for a third visit. Keep up the great work, Sammy!
One morning, I tried the breakfast burrito at the hotel's café, FRES.CO. It was disappointing, given the price and the fact that it was premade and kept in a hot box. Who puts bell peppers in a breakfast burrito?
Overall, I strongly recommend the hotel to anyone looking for a nice place to stay during their visit to San Diego. It's a 5-minute walk across the street to the convention center, and if you don't care to experiment with the hotel food options like I did, there are endless dining options within walking distance! The valet service was also amazing.
