anyone will tell you I totally adore staying at the Omni, great service, free wireless, ff miles, wonderful preferred guest program and about 10 thousand white feather pillows on the bed. There is something about putting out the "do not disturb" on the door, locking it and knowing your in a state of blissful quiet until room service taps on your door - at a predetermined time - to let you know your complimentary coffee and juice are ready. I could live like this. It was interesting to stay at the Omni in Newport News. The architecture and decor are less traditional, they have a 2 story renaissance style mural on the first floor that I twice saw kids posing dramatically in front of it having their pictures taken (of course it is a college town). It has a night club and piano bar so it was more of a party atmosphere than the one here in cville. Raph and I went sunday to breakfast in the restaurant, he sweet talked the waitress into letting him go to the breakfast bar even though it was past time and they were breaking it down for brunch. And don't you know he ended up getting food from both breakfast and brunch. Youth!
