  • clean room and lobby and friendly staff
  • air conditioning in the room didn't work very well

“A very nice hotel. Gives a classic look and feel. I'm not a fan of valet parking though.”

  • I really liked the friendliness of the staff. They were friendly and helpful.
  • I did not like the parking situation. There was no onsite parking. If you used valet you would have to wait on your car each time you left the hotel

“This hotel is a little older, but the facitlies are accommodating. It is located in the downtown area, but there is no really nice dining facility near by. We had to go onto the Interstate to find nice dining, Lonestar and Cracker Barrel, Walmart store etc. It was only about 10 minutes away.”

  • Cookies and friendly van driver and friendly valet.
  • Location and not an outdoor pool.

“Overall, very happy with stay. All staff was very friendly and helpful in an genuine way. Would recommend if you have to stay in Downtown Dayton.”

  • Character of the hotel-old bank building converted into hotel use was interesting.
  • Our bathroom was very small, no fan, only one mirror in entire room/bathroom space, not thermostat adjustment.

“I find it frustrating at most hotels as a rule that there is not a separate mirror outside the bathroom with an electrical outlet nearby, so that someone else can dry hair, do makeup, get ready, etc. while another is using the toilet/taking a shower. I think it would be a rather inexpensive feature to add to every hotel room during construction/remodeling, to provide an area for another person to get ready while another is using the bathroom.”

  • Staff.
  • Very noise.

“Just to many things that were not quite right to enjoy the stay. Would not stay at this hotel again.”

  • The front desk was very helpful. Very nice person at the right spot!
  • Some other guy at the front desk when I checked in didnt give eye contact at all!!!!

“Well even after the 3 fire alarms going off from about 4 am till 4:30 am, it was OK. The 4th alarm during breakfast was just over the top (swimming pool area I was told). Hotel rooms were a bit small. The front desk was very helpful. She was able to provide things I forgot while packing.”

  • It's location.
  • way below the standard expected for this category

“From time of arrival, the temperature could not be regulated in the room (no thermostat) and the AC unit did not work. The only way to keep the temperature from raising was to open windows! This was not fixed for the entire length of our stay. The TV set did not work and was replaced after the first night and following our complaint; you would expect that it would have been checked and identified before our arrival. The bathroom was extremely small and the commode was loose. The building is old and not well maintained and so are the rooms.”

  • the newly decorated style with old style feel
  • The valet parking was only stuff. This is why people go to the suburbs!

“Very nice and convenient downtown location, nice new rooms with old style feel. Quiet and clean. Just wish we didn't have to use valet parking only! We are spoiled by suburban hotel parking.”

  • Very nice pool and hot tub, nice size room.
  • Valet parking always annoys me!

“The hotel was in a good location, not far from 75, clean rooms, warm cookies on check in, friendly staff and a pleasant place to stay.”

  • It was a good location.
  • Have to pay to park.

“It was a good location. Had to pay to park, hotel on a one way street, bar and restaurant small. Compared to Marriot and Crown Plaza Hotel...go with Marriot.”

  • For pay parking, it was pretty cheap.
  • Room was pretty plain & the bathroom was very small.

“The hotel is an older building re-fitted to be a modern hotel. The room was a very plain box and there was only one mirror in the whole room in the bathroom. The bathroom was very small and two people could not be in the bathroom at the same time. Two people would have a hard time getting ready at the same time.”

  • Hotel was very comfortable, staff was friendly and convenient.
  • Paying the valet parking fee everyday, I only thought it would be once for the whole trip!

“I enjoyed staying at the Doubletree Downtown Dayton. The beds were wonderfully comfortable and the rooms were allocated differently from any other hotel I have been at, which made for a more enjoyable stay. Overall, it was a great hotel.”

  • Excellent and friendly staff.

“I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel. I would rate it slightly higher than the 3 star rating. The staff was excellent. The room was very nice and very clean.”

  • The comfort of the bed! Amazing.
  • My room was near the elevator. Noisy location.

“I really enjoyed my stay. The location was great seeing as how I had to do a show at the Schuster. I was comfortable. The housekeeping staff was nice. I left a tip but I don't think the correct housekeeper received it. (I should have taken her name). I don't like that valet was $9 a day. But! Meters were free all weekend. So I had no problems there.”

  • The bed and pillows were awesome. Pool was warm!
  • Restaurant was terrible. Why bother? Scary neighborhood.

“The Pluses: The bed was super comfy with plenty of pillows. Location is very near UD. The indoor pool was fantastic - nice and warm with comfy lounge chairs. The minuses: The room "air" only had one temperature - cold! The bathroom was very small and tight with no separate area for sink/mirror. On our visit, the ice machine on our floor was broken. Our key was supposed to enable us to select our floor number (9) in the elevator, but it only did it the 1st time we used our key. We had to get new keys three times and had frustrating times trying to get to our floor! The restaurant is terrible and the bar is a joke.”

  • Nothing.
  • The rooms were dingy and telephones did not work.

“I received bad service at this hotel. The rooms were dark and moist and the air conditioner was not adequate. In addition, the telephones did not work in my room.”

  • I liked that I had to leave relatively early the next morning!

“Good morning! I have just checked out of a hotel. Shortly after checking in, I stopped at the lounge for a quick drink (6 bar stools for a 12 story hotel. Great capacity!), then I asked the front desk for some dinner recommendations, to which I was pointed in the direction of the Oregon District 7 or 8 long city blocks away. I advised I would be walking. I quickly came to realize that this area had been abandoned with the exception of this hotel and city hall across the street. Within the first 3 blocks, 90% of the buildings were empty and many had either been boarded up the ones that were not simply had broken windows. I assume from where the city over run with homeless people get in. In fact, after looking again this morning, aside from the hotel itself, every other building on this block, on this side of the road has been abandoned! 5 blocks in, while minding my own business, I was approached by a City of Dayton police office who kindly asked if I was lost and strongly recommended that I eat at the hotel or drive to the Oregon District according to him. But from this experience I am highly unlikely to use your service again.”

  • Nice pictures of early days for hotel on wall.
  • Old, beat-up hotel that needs renovation.

“A sad place. Old beat-up hotel with staff to match. On my floor, there was a laundry room across from the elevator. Door was open, loud music was playing, housekeepers were arguing. No HVAC controls in room. Covered vent with pillow to reduce air conditioning. Beautiful bed but linens were dirty. There was one young lady at the check-in desk that was trying to make up for all the deficiencies. She was trying hard. Someone checked in for the concierge floor. She had to help him with the elevator because the card reader was not working. Assume someone has dreams of renovation and success. Hope they succeed.”
