Their security deposit varies from $20-100, and be careful if you book a smoking room, as apparently they don't have smoking rooms. You'll get an extra charge if you smoke in your room, plus lose your security deposit.

The room was terrible!! The mirror was hanging by just one corner, my boyfriend found bed bugs, the jets in the tub didn’t work, there was nothing to put ice in, and I’m waiting for my deposit back!!

bad staff

It look like a mexican jail cell it was holes n the doors the air did not work and the sheets was not clean so the man got me another room it was terrible drug paraphernalia on the floor holes in the bathroom door people standing around prostitutes everywhere it was just terrible so when I said I was going to stay somewhere else he insist to find me another room know I'm going somewhere else I didn't even stay there and they still charged me the $53 like I want my money back

It’s was ready on time and I didn’t like that the restroom had a needle for a crackhead to do dope with in my room..

room felt like a dungeon- dark, dingy. keycards kept resetting and locking us out but the staff was nice about fixing it. breakfast hardly worth getting up for- cereals, toast, weak coffee, broken juice machine. overall not a great spot, just a place to sleep.

It is much better then it use to be n a lot cleaner

It was great staying here, I even added a night. I love that it was easy to find things to do so close. The price was very reasonable. The place was quiet and unlike most Dayton Hotel's there was no crazy drama around. I will definitely keep this place in mind when I want to get away again.

Friendly staff, unpleasant room (cockroaches found). Great price, though

very bad hotel. Room had bedbug and troubled us a lot after returning home with the bed bug infestation. I do not recommend this hotel to stay there.

Compared to other hotel, this one is dog friendly, the receptionist is friendly nice, and the cheapest price. Only 38 dollars and 10 dollars dog fee

apart from the staffs that they all good, the hotel needs to be cleaned.

Smelled like a smoker's armpit and I got 5 bedbug bites.

There are no vending machines, the hotel is definitely dated but for the price, this is the cheapest in town & it is very quiet for the price. No riff raff.

bathtubs a little yucky, the jacuzzi tubs very very old.... I would not take a sitdown bath for my life but other than that...it's cheap & it's a roof....tolerable.

Difficult to locate. Mote signage would help.clean but no chairs in room. Had a fridge and microwave which was nice.

Be warned - this hotel does NOT have a hot tub, and the "nonsmoking" rooms smell strongly of smoke. This hotel seems to have become a home for transient people, which is fine but it is not what I was looking for on my weekend away from home. Do not stay here if you have allergies or asthma, as all hallways and the room we were assigned had a smell that stayed on us for more than an hour after we left the room. Thankfully, the hotel and this website agreed to refund us even though our purchase was "nonrefundable."
