First, this was a $50/night hotel, and the stay was fine for the price, more later. I just needed a place to come back to and sleep for two nights. Night manager was friendly and answered questions I had about the hotel.
I was told hotel is under new ownership and is being renovated. Extensive construction was obvious pulling up. There were at least four construction containers, the front entry portico had both a very large stack of carpet under tarps and another large stack of new boxed furniture and toilets. North hallway and one side of entry is filled with materials pulled from rooms. Construction folks were working on site clearing out rooms, filling multiple dumpsters.
For the room I was given, it was clean and beds comfortable. Bathroom and shower had been cleaned. Not perfect physical condition, but not bad. Room had LED TV, microwave, refrigerator, desk, and safe; all worked. Currently, no amenities except ice machine. Locks on external doors were turned off. Likely due to construction worker traffic.
It would be interesting to see how far new owners go with renovation. It has the potential to be a nice budget category hotel. It is a big facility including what was once a bar or banquet area. It is very close to Wright Patterson, a university, and a short drive to all of the Dayton area. It is in a pleasant older style suburban neighborhood and commercial area but surrounded by all the new suburban growth, restaurants, and amenities.
