AC Hotel by Marriott Dayton
Breakfast bar was horrible! Not worth the money and offered very little appetizing food

Updated and modern hotel with contemporary and comfortable furniture. Pillows were not great, though. Super clean in all areas. Helpful and friendly staff. Breakfast was fine, nothing special of note.

Days Inn by Wyndham Englewood Dayton Airport
clean room, but smells old. Breakfast was great. I had to try my door at least three times each time I came back. The key didn't work very well. They knock on your door at 9 to see if you're still there. Check out is 11.00 am
