I guess with this place, it all depends on your expectations. Do you travel a lot? Or not? Are you accustomed to spending over $70/night for your room, or not?

If you are reasonably well traveled and used to spending more than a 1-star hotel for your room, you won't be all that impressed with this place. Otherwise, here are the positives: reasonably spacious, remodelled sometime in the last 10 years, free parking, free wi-fi, toiletries included, fireplace (if you come with your own logs).

Here are the negatives: all the furniture is quite beaten up and scraped at the edges. The wi-fi is spotty -- a FaceTime chat with your family, even at 1 a.m. local when no one else at the hotel is online, will drop or hang many times. Yes, they've put cheery yellow-striped wallpaper in the shower and the powder room, but it's mildewed above the shower and you probably don't want to know what that reddish, smeared stain is next to the full-length mirror in the powder room. If you're there in the winter, the room will be cold all night, even if you turn up the thermostat. (Maybe you need to beg them for logs to burn in the fireplace to keep warm?) If it's windy, you'll hear the wind all night. And don't expect anything close to a "heavenly bed" as provided by some of the better chains -- this is a low-end motel room mattress with flat pillows. The breakfast is only good if you're not used to getting breakfast with your room and think that anything made by Sysco is yummy.

All in all, probably worth the $49 you can pay if you bid through a no-name bidding process. It's better than the Super 8 you'd get at the airport for the same price. But otherwise, don't bother.

I've been in Dayton before and it's a nice city with a lot of history. I've never stayed at this hotel before but it's at the top of my list on my next visit there. It's a remodeled older "chalet style" (just made that up but it fits) hotel with several separate small 70's-Colorado-ski-hill-looking buildings making up a little village. I thought it was very cool and to have a full kitchen at this price?! Great deal.

I was surprised at how much I liked this funky cool hotel room. The remodeling seemed to be fairly new with nice carpeting and other finishes. A couple of the kitchen appliances were on the older side, but they worked and the kitchen itself was stocked to the gills with literally everything you could possibly want and usually forget to bring. I was amazed at how much thought the Hawthorn team put into providing absolutely everything a person would need. I could have moved into that room it was so well stocked.

The bathroom was well-stocked as well with high end products and nice, thick towels. Embarrassingly, even nicer and thicker than we have at home. The bed was a weak point in my room (721), unfortunately. It sagged like a hammock, like it was supported only around the perimeter. I've never experienced a bed like that before, it's usually the exact opposite where some of them can be super hard and don't give at all. This one was either past it's due date or the box spring needed some serious help.. I should have mentioned it because the management would typically like to know such things, I regret not mentioning it now. Not to complain what so ever, but just so they know about it.

The breakfast was unreal, one of the best I've ever seen, with eggs, little omlettes, two different kinds of sausages, waffles, fruit (apples, bananas, oranges, honeydew and cantalope), cereals, oatmeal, breads, milk, just about anything you could think of they had it. And, all brand name items, no bargain basement 10 for $1 stuff here. Very, very nice and constantly being refreshed and organized by a super efficient person. They had a great assortment of high-end teas as well, that's rare to see actual brand name teas in a hotel. Nicely done. If you need anything after that breakfast there are numerous restaurants and fast food places close by.

The check in and check out went as smoothly as could be and the women working the front desk were really nice and helpful. I can't say enough about this cool little hotel and am looking forward to returning for a visit.

This was an incredible property. I was pleasantly surprised. This was our first stay at a Hawthorn Suites property and it will most certainly not be our last. Everything about this property was superb or better. The check-in was seamless and the clerk was extremely attentive to our needs. The breakfast in the morning was great and the room was exceptionally comfortable. I travel quite extensively with my job and had stayed at several different properties on this particular trip; in my opinion this was one of the top places we had stayed. I had my family with me and there was plenty of room in the suite and it was a true suite. Furthermore, it well located close to restaurants and close to the interstate. I would stay at this property again and again.

I had to stay at this hotel since I bid on the price, and one. One of those Expedia gigs where you bid for a 3 star hotel in the area. THATS RIGHT 3 star according to the online agencies. But PLEASE PLEASE don't follow in my footsteps! I have no idea what crackhead decided to make this a 3 star hotel in the Dayton, OH area. I'm a travel nurse, and stay in hotels all the time, every week on assignment. I got the room for about $50/night, but just know, you will get what you pay for...I would rather pay more for a more upscale and updated room next time! The location is right next to a main highway, so for 3rd shift workers, YES you CAN hear the traffic while sleeping during the day!!!! The hotel is very run outdated, and you can tell there has not been any renovating since the Brady Bunch was popular. The carpet is old (disgusting to think of the dirtiness of it), the cabinets and dishes are smelly (like old, mildew).

But the absolute most ATROCIOUS part of this hotel room, was when I first walked in. I ALWAYS look at the sheets, to see if they have been changed (seen too many Dateline NBC specials about hotels), and sure enough I doubt that they had been. I have straight brunette hair, and when I walked up to the bed, there where MULTIPLE long, curly hairds all OVER the comforter. GAG! I pulled down the comforter, and again MULTIPLE curly hairds on the sheets where I was to curl up and sleep. IMMEDIATELY called the front desk, and asked for them to send the maid to change the sheets, where they replied that the maids where gone for the day (it was 1pm). So I then demanded a whole new set of clean sheets and comforter so I could change it myself.

DISGUST! DIDn't sleep well after that because I just knew that other stuff was probably not cleaned also!
