Bucket List Concert

"We came in town for the George Strait concert and chose to stay at the Omni Severin. The staff was incredible, especially Freddie, he was awesome, very friendly and extremely helpful in getting us to our room and detailing things to do in the city. St. Elmo Steakhouse is a must. Our room was clean, comfortable and had a nice overview of the city. Lucas Oil Stadium is within walking distance of the Omni so we were able to valet our vehicle and walk to wherever we needed to go. Loved our stay here with one exception, The Severin Bar. We chose to eat dinner at the Severin Bar, ordered our food and waited over 1-1/4 hours for our meal (2 burgers and fries). People that ordered after us, had their food, ate and left before we got our food. Had I not asked about it, I think we’d still be waiting. I don’t want this to take away from the rest of our stay as it really was amazing."
