I spent a week visiting the area and stayed here due to room cost. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were comfortable and quiet. My last trip I stayed on Miller Lane and paid more than double what I paid at Travelodge and still had a better room. The beds were very comfortable and very clean room. I will be staying here again next trip to Dayton.

We arrived at the hotel and our room was filthy. There was a big glob of hair in the shower and the drain was rusty. One of the lamps didn't work, and another one that was mounted on the wall was crooked and almost off the wall. The bedspread had what appeared to be dried blood on it. The blanket looked to be 10 years old, scratchy with holes in it. The sheets were wrinkled and it looked like they weren't changed from the previous customers. When I found pubic hairs on the sheets I decided to check out and stay somewhere else. On our way out we decided to visit the "fitness facility"...what a joke. A broken stair stepper, circa 1985, and a television placed on the floor (the wall mount apparently was broken). Oh, and don't forget a strong smell of mold. As we left we saw a couple of questionable-looking characters enter the motel, which reinforced our decision to check out early. I cannot believe this motel has not been condemned or shut down. It is need of a major overhaul, including new furniture, carpeting, bedding, televisions, everything. I was told that the charges would be reversed, but it's showing up on my credit card. I'll wait a few days, but if this $ is not taken off my credit card I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau. Beware of this place! For the record, we ended up staying at the Courtyard Marriott a few miles away and it was awesome!

I had a great, extended stay at Travelodge. Wayne at the front desk was my first contact and he is terrific! Very friendly and helpful. Brenda, the manager, and all the other desk staff make you feel at home. Any problems (and there were not any serious ones for me) were resolved promptly and satisfactorily. Because I had an extended stay the housekeeping staff regularly greeted me and asked if my room needed any attention. The Craigslist ad by them is accurate. I have stayed at two nearby hotels with a similar room rate that had rooms that were not as clean as Travelodge on Poe Ave. The continental breakfast gives the guest the option of having a light morning meal and then getting the day underway or returning to the room for rest until lunch. Three restaurants are within an easy walk from the hotel, or with a very short drive down Miller Lane there are more options, or hop on the convenient interstate access and all of Dayton is available. My length of stay gave me the opportunity many may not have to watch the process of refitting the hotel. I saw the parking lot sealed and repainted, the property landscaped and a new handicap ramp installed in the parking lot. This is a hotel to watch. They are serious about investing in the community by bringing this hotel to life, and they are serious about earning your business. If you don't miss mints on the pillow and you like a clean room, friendly people and saving money, check them out! -- B.

Hangout for construction crews...clueless how to act. Noisy most of night, inside in halls, in rooms and outside in parking lot. Front desk did not act until asked. Would not stay again. Hotel entrance is very poorly marked even though right next to freeway.
