Hampton Inn & Suites Dayton-Airport

Not much to do around the hotel but the rooms are clean and staff was nice

TL;DR: I don't think it's up to Hampton Inn standards - much less Hilton standards, and not worth it for the money it cost for a night. I won't be staying here again. First, the good: The staff was very friendly. Bed and sheets were clean with no signs of creepy-crawlies, and it was comfortable. Towels were clean, thick, and abundant. Shower was hot and strong, all the soaps and shampoos were full. Toilet and sink were in great shape and very clean. Air conditioning worked great. Breakfast was good and the dining areas were clean. Coffee was good. The not so good: The place is generally dirty and run-down. The bathroom floor was sticky, and so was the carpet! Dirt in the corners of the bathroom. Shower doors are well past needing replacement. Furniture is stained and a bit rough. The dust and dirt on the bracket holding up the outlet/USB plug box on the night stand was thick. Lampshades and light bulbs were fuzzy with dust. Elevator carpets were visibly filthy. The hallways on all floors were hot and stuffy. The hall A/C's were not running, I checked on all floors. They must have them turned off or they are all broken. Clearly there is a lot of deferred maintenance and no accountability for cleaning. This is not up to Hilton's even economy-brand standards. The not-so-good-but-not-really-their-fault: The highway noise is loud, and doesn't let up until well past midnight. I was on the top floor away facing away from the highway and it was still loud. If that bothers you, bring high-quality earplugs. I always do and used them, so I slept like a rock. I don't think it was that loud when they built the hotel decades ago. There are good things here, but really needs love, a DEEP cleaning, and attention to detail before it's worth the stay.

They overbooked the hotel intentionally for the Dayton Air show. When we arrived at 9 pm we had no room, even though our reservation was from months prior..no phone call. No email. We were left wandering a strange city at night with small children looking for a place to sleep.. Do better Dayton..

Transportation to the airport and free parking to do that.

It was fine. The pillows were very hard and flat making it hard to sleep. Also the noise from the interstate didn’t help. However it was clean, employees were great. My son loved the pool. The breakfady was excellent.

Some Misses Check-in was quick and efficient. Decor is modern, beds are comfortable. We couldn't figure out how to work one critical element of the TV remote, and the desk clerk, although she tried to help, did not know how to work it. Nothing in the room or online helped, either. We booked a king studio, looking for a space where the late-to-bed partner would not bother the early-to-bed one. We did not realize that the sink area is in the BEDroom, not the bathroom, area, with bright overhead lighting. Also, the mirrored closet opposite the bathroom door is very confusing; we left it open so we wouldn't bang into it by accident. We didn't stay for breakfast the next morning, other than to grab coffee for the road. Unfortunately, the "dark roast" coffee urn was empty, and the "light roast" seemed to have nothing to do with the roast: it was just very weakly brewed coffee -- bleah.
