The Omni Homestead Resort

We came here last year and again in 2025 for my husbands work conference. I own a cleaning company so you bet I look at things upside down and all around. The toilets are never cleaned properly and today, as I went to take a relaxing bath, I noticed lots of mold in the tub, as well as a dirty toilet and minimally “wiped” tile. They definitely do not scrub anything. I am grossed out by the mold. $900 a night for this place, and mold.

This was, without exaggeration, one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. We arrived at the Omni Homestead expecting a charming, historic resort. What we got was an overpriced, underperforming disaster. Even before the power outage, service was dismal: no housekeeping of any kind despite three separate requests and basic hospitality functions (like a front desk that answers the phone) were clearly on vacation themselves. No staff were pro-active about providing any hospitality; it was like visiting a cable company’s customer support number in person (staff always said what you wanted to hear, did nothing, blamed some other department, and never followed through). Then came the power outage — and any remaining semblance of hospitality completely vanished. No air conditioning. No lights. No food or water. No elevators. And no communication from management. Guests were left to fend for themselves in stifling rooms with no idea what was going on. There was no plan, no apology, and no attempt to make things right. In fact, the front desk staff was incredibly rude when people asked basic questions such as when power might be restored. To be clear: this wasn’t a quick outage or momentary inconvenience. It was a full-blown collapse of operations, and the management team simply disappeared. Meanwhile, the only staff who acted with professionalism and urgency were the bellhops — they deserve praise. Everyone else, especially those in charge, should be ashamed. Many guests — ourselves included — left early just to get away. It felt less like a luxury retreat and more like being stranded in a crumbling relic of what this place once was. The Omni Homestead trades on its history, but it’s clear the glory days are long gone. This is not a resort. This is a cautionary tale. Avoid at all costs.

My husband and I have worked in the hotel industry for over 30years. This resort, BY FAR, has the most amenities and friendliest staff we've ever experienced. Their recent renovations made everything fresh & new, even though it is a very historic property. This is the perfect place for couples, groups of friends or families. There is truly something for everyone. We can't wait to return over the winter holidays to experience the resort in a totally different season!

I live across the street from the Homestead resort in Midway Utah. I wanted to go to the pool over the Fourth of July celebration in order to do so I booked a room through Expedia because it was blacked out on the Homestead for day passes. I went and I was accused of trespassing. I was arrested. I was put in jail and I was held for 12 hours. They cuffed me and put a bag on my head. I would never go there. They are a racist heap of humankind that does not deserve to have anybody attend their racist

The resort is beautiful and there were plenty of activities for my children to enjoy. However, with the rates I paid for the room, I never imagined how much the Omni would nickel and dime me for all the extras. Food, even with the kids eat free or 50% off promotion, cost me almost $100 each time I sat down. Want a drink - $42 after tax and tip for two 12 ounce drinks. Buffet breakfast for $40 an adult is theft. $39 plus tax per night for me to self park my own car and walk to the resort with my luggage is outrageous. Two bottled soda's, two bottled juices, and two packs of M&M's from the Market was nearly $30. I ended up going to the local store to purchase snacks to avoid going broke. For the resort stay price I paid and then to have to pay all those extras is a shame. Additionally, the public bathrooms were often out of soap, the floors were dirty, soda machines didn't work to get drinks in the Picnic Pavilion, and the beds were hard as a rock. There were not enough chairs at the pool for guests. A chair was broken and a worker took it away, but came back and said they were out of chairs, so I was left standing at the pool while my kids swam. Pool towels - bring your own as they ran out several times even when the pools were busy. Want a tube for the lazy river, bring your own as they only have what appeared to be 20-25 rafts. I know bugs happen outside, but the resort has an overwhelming amount of bugs that swarm you outside. I understand the resort attracts people with various lifestyles and incomes, but I never imagined the costs I would endure by visiting. There were many other guests that were complaining about the outrageous costs of visiting. This will likely be my one and only visit to the resort because of how outrageous the costs were.
