What's Special About Omni San Diego:
Major league baseball fans, take note: the Omni San Diego was the first hotel in the U.S. to be connected to a ballpark. You can actually watch a game from some of the rooms (higher floors are best for this). The hotel caters to business travelers but also offers a great location at the entrance to the Gaslamp Quarter.

Dining at Omni San Diego:
McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurant, just off the lobby, has 30+ varieties of fresh seafood (serves breakfast, lunch and dinner). I was especially impressed with the breakfast buffet, which included fresh-squeezed orange juice, an omelet station with cage-free eggs, fresh berries, hormone-free sausage and bacon, organic cereals, Tea Forte and Starbucks coffee. Morsel's offers Starbucks coffee and snacks. The Lobby Lounge serves beer and cocktails. Room service is available 24 hours a day.
Insider Tips:
- Bathrooms in all King rooms have shuttered walls to let in light (and let out sound and er, smells) so make sure you're sharing the room with someone you know very, very well.
- Baseball fans: ask at the front desk for a guide to the hotel's memorabilia, including Joe DiMaggio's cleats, a baseball autographed by Mickey Mantle, the bat Pete Rose used to break Ty Cobb's record in 1985, and Babe Ruth's 1923 contract with the Yankees.
- The downtown trolley stop is around the corner.
Recreation:
Use of the fitness center at the Omni San Diego is complimentary. You can also request a "Get Fit Kit" with supplies for your own in-room workout (floor mat, dumbbells, mini radio with earphones, elastic stretch bands and an exercise booklet).
