Days Inn by Wyndham Englewood Dayton Airport
Staff was wonderful. However the room was old and out dated. The bathroom had water damage. The shower wouldn’t turn on all the way. The outside light shined in the room all night long.

Drury Inn & Suites Dayton North
Drury does it right. Coffee 24/7 in the lobby, happy hour everyday with Fred food, free drink coupons and they actually cook eggs every morning.

Drury Inn & Suites Middletown Franklin
The room and bathroom were clean. Liked the little refrigerator and microwave. Room was very nice. The 5:30 Kickback and breakfast were both great as well! My room key didn't work. I had to call my husband to let me in the room. They resolved the issue eventually. Also, hotels.com is not forthcoming ...

AC Hotel by Marriott Dayton
Clean, convenient. The manual parking process having to download an app etc was a bit of a pain. The bar next door was a little noisy, too.
