Great Location

Some reviews stated "not worth the price". Well ok, but what your paying for is location, and this place couldn't be located in a better place. While there are a couple of hotels that are less expensive, none put you right on the MALL like the Omni. Plus, getting to Montecello couldn't be easier. It's only about a 15 minute ride away. A couple of previous reviewers stated the sheets were rough. Uh? The sheets were just fine, and the bed was darn nice too. Staff was very pleasent and helpful, and the room was clean. No, it's not the Four Seasons, but it's a very nice hotel in a college town. There are plenty of places on and just off the Mall to eat. On the Mall, the Nook has an inexpensive menu for breakfast. Also on the Mall, was Baggby's where your order for lunch is taken on a brown paper bag, and delivered to you in that same bag. Sandwiches made here are great. The locals line up at lunch time at Baggby's. Great Italian food can be had at Sal's Caffe on the Mall. While the wait can be a little longer than other places for your food to arrive, you'll be glad you toughed it out. The food is excellent. If your in the mood for craft beer and a burger, South Street Brewery one block off the Mall has great burgers and beer. As I said before, while the Omni Hotel is a little more expensive than other places, It's a very nice hotel, in a great location and puts you where all the action in Charlottesville takes place.
