Franklin Vacations from $377

Quiet & staff helpful

The Vitality Hotel is conveniently located in downtown Dayton. The hotel lojujbby was crowded when I arrived and I could not find the check-in kiosk - there is no registration desk or concierge - and a security guard said I was already checked in and could go to my room, but I wasn’t. I texted for help and was told someone would be there shortly, but wasn’t. After 15 minutes, I went back down to the lobby, which was now nearly empty and the check-in kiosks were quite obvious. Once I checked in everything went smoothly. However if you don’t have a smart phone staying at this hotel could be a real problem. The free breakfastp’´ is the best I’ve seen in any hotel. My room was right by the elevator, but between about 11pm and 7 am it was quiet enough that I got a good night’s sleep. On the down side, the hotel has 11 floors of rooms and three elevators, only one of which was working when I stayed there. Also, and this is a problem with many hotels, for guest safety all tub showers should have grab bars for entering and exiting the tub. Everyone needs these, not just handicapped folks.

Hotel was very clean. Restaurant had healthy choices. We were disappointed in the hours. Hours were 8-2 while we were there were only able to eat breakfast there. Wish there was Yellow Springs memorabilia available at the gift shop.

The room is perfect for the person that prefers your standard, safe, bare minimum hotel. For me, I’m just looking for a clean bed and a few good TV channels, this was that. My only complaint was a noisy dog barking until 1am but you can’t predict that. The towels were fresh white, the shower got hot, the AC worked perfectly and was loud enough for some white noise to fall asleep to, paired with some football games and it was an ideal night. If you want amenities, and a whole shebang then go elsewhere. We loved that you were practically on the Air Force base and could see the static display of jets from the parking lot.

Room smell is not good, the curtain rod is half dropped, the breakfast is so so, specially don’t like the boiled egg, like fake egg flavor
