The Omni Shoreham is a wonderful, at rock creek park located hotel. Our room and bathroom were very clean and spacious. The staff were always friendly and helpful.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The pool is large and well maintained. Towel service is in the gym. This is very modern with new equipment. There is plenty of parking (for a fee) in front of the hotel. The ... Read more

Unfortunately, the family room and already some distances in this great hotel. The four persons room would be bigger. At cleanliness and service sonsitgem must give it nothing to complain about in this category, and it was also Sunday you have to like these dimensions. Read more

Traveling with kids to the Omni hotel was enjoyable for the following reasons: 1) there is a large pool on site in a garden setting, 2) hotel provided a "kid pack" to my son that contained cute and simple toys, 3) as a courtesy, the Omni brought milk and a cookie to our room on the first night stay for my son. - in May 11
