These rooms are extremely tiny and the beds were so hard that I woke up daily with severe pain. I would never stay at this brand of property again.

Omni Shoreham Hotel
A beautiful hotel inside and out. I understand it’s the beginning of their busy season… But they need to refresh especially the outside seating and outside area. Also, I did have an unfortunate experience with a worker who I felt to be a little condescending. Otherwise a beautiful room.
