"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.
