AC Hotel by Marriott Dayton
Clean, convenient. The manual parking process having to download an app etc was a bit of a pain. The bar next door was a little noisy, too.

Hilton Garden Inn Dayton Downtown
5 star stay but BEWARE of the death spike in the bathroom doorway. Setting a new level of incompetence, our bathroom entry had a floor guide for the sliding door and if open completely exposed a slicing blade ready to impale any foot. God forbid you pee at night as stitches may await
