30th bday at the Omni - spectactular.
I planned a surprise group trip to Boston for my husband's 30th bday celebration, where we booked 4 rooms at the Omni under a travelzoo special. We got 2 executive suites -- they're huge! and 2 regular rooms. The Omni surprised us with an upgrade for my husband and I from a 2 double (the travelzoo special) to a king room, complete with a birthday card, bottle of champagne, and chocolate covered strawberries. It's those little touches that made our stay amazing. Here are some other examples:
- Location: It was the first time we've stayed right in the middle of town when visiting Boston. Quick walk to the park, T, Beantown Pub, Financial District, and Fanueil made transportation easy and we didn't need to take cabs anywhere.
- The hotel is really gorgeous, rooms were very clean, and for Boston, I thought they were spacious, especially the executive suites.
- The concierge is amazing. I hadn't planned where 20 of us were going to meet up for brunch on Saturday, which could have been a logistical nightmare. One call to the concierge and we immediately had a reservation for 20, a block away, at the exact time we wanted to go. Restaurant was amazing and had a bloody mary bar! It's like she read our minds. She also helped us with transportation options to foxboro for the pats game on Sunday.
I'm sure I'm forgetting other things that made the stay wonderful, but I'll stop at that. We would book again, even if we couldn't get a discounted rate and had to pay full price!
