"We had the best weekend stay at the Omni! We were in San Diego for a concert at Petco Park, and the location couldn’t have been more perfect. Being right next to the stadium made the entire experience so easy and enjoyable, and the VIP stadium access was such an amazing perk. We also loved spending time at the pool and really appreciated how friendly and welcoming all of the staff were throughout our stay. Everyone went above and beyond to make us feel taken care of. It was the perfect hotel for our weekend getaway, and we had such a great time from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back! ❤️"

"We stayed at an inside bungalow which was fine on this beautifully landscaped property. We were on a small lake with a fountain that was relaxing. Also, there was plenty of things to do including climbing the tower, feeding the ducks and fish, and walking around the grounds.
