I stayed here because it was on my route, and it accepts pets. For the price point, this place is a dump. I waited 10 minutes in the lobby by myself waiting to check in (it was 6 pm, so not late.) No clerk, no one around. I rang the bell at the desk a couple times. No response. When the front desk clerk finally showed up, she told me she was “busy in the back.” ? The entire place is old and needs major updating. Looks nice from the outside, but is old and run down inside. The elevator and the room are small and dark. The elevator smelled like **** (a lot), and the room stunk like stale grease. I’m assuming the person before me ate from the Mc Donalds next door and the smell hadn’t dissipated. Luckily I had air freshener spray in my car. There was a microwave and a refrigerator in the room, but the refrigerator was completely turned off. My computer wouldn’t connect to the wifi, so I was stuck with only my phone, but it was only an overnight stay. I also moved the chair in the room to look behind it trying to find where my inquisitive cat had decided to hide, and there was a used towel behind the chair. They obviously don’t move the furniture to clean so who knows how long that’s been there? I guess the bottom line is that you stay in a hotel for a bed and a shower, and both of those were acceptable, so that's worth a star. The water was hot too. I found this place lacking though compared to other places that cost the same. There's a breakfast buffet included, but it was very mediocre. Nothing special, and not well stocked. I didn't get a receipt for my stay either. I asked for one when I checked out, but the person at the desk didn't seem to know how to print one, and when she asked someone else, that person didn't seem interested in getting up to print it and pretty much ignored the request. I left without the receipt, but I don't know why it wasn't put under the door during the night like pretty much every other hotel does? I will stick with Holiday Inn Express for short stays like this in the future, as those hotels seem to be newer and a lot more consistent quality-wise. I would never stay here again, but then again, I hope I'm never required to visit Dayton, Ohio again either.
