About The Hotel

The Holiday Inn Express & Suites Dayton SW is a 3.5-star (48 reviews) newer build near the University of Dayton and the Wright Brothers sites, off Edwin C Moses Boulevard and I-75. It has a heated indoor pool, free breakfast, free parking, and clean, comfortable rooms with strong sleep-quality ratings (4.4). It’s positioned as a low-cost overnight option for UD visitors and downtown travelers. However, recent reviews flag service inconsistencies and occasional hot-water issues at this small property, so read current guest feedback carefully before booking. It’s a pool-only stay with no hot tub or in-room jacuzzi.

What Guests Are Saying

“The room was nice, the bed was comfortable, just what you look for in a hotel. The price was reasonable. The check in process was great, outstanding customer service. The breakfast is pretty darn good too.” — Donovan C., 5 stars

“No hot water. I checked in and never had hot water during my stay. The front desk mentioned water issues. Housekeeping came but didn’t replenish toilet paper. I won’t stay here again.” — pricecheryl, 3 stars

"I had an exceptional stay at this Holiday Inn Express, and I want to specifically highlight Amy from the day staff and John from the night staff for their truly outstanding hospitality. Amy deserves special recognition. I had a difficult check-in, and she handled it with incredible patience, professionalism, and kindness. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was resolved smoothly, never once making me feel rushed or like an inconvenience. Her knowledge, calm demeanor, and genuine care completely turned what could have been a stressful experience into a positive one. Amy is exactly the kind of front desk agent every hotel hopes to have. John on the night shift was equally impressive—welcoming, attentive, and very knowledgeable. He made sure everything I needed was taken care of and carried the same high standard of hospitality. I travel often, and honestly, since Ohio, I haven’t experienced service at this level. Amy and John represent the absolute best of what hospitality should be. If management is reading this: you have two incredible front desk agents who truly elevate the guest experience and reflect extremely well on your hotel and the Holiday Inn brand. I will absolutely be returning and recommending this location to others. Thank you for such a great stay."

"This was just what I needed. I stayed during my husband's stay in a nearby hospital. The bed was comfortable. The shower was hot with good pressure. The breakfast was decent. The staff was polite. It's close to the highway. Fast food restaurants are literally sharing the same parking lot. The room had been updated recently. You could still see signs of mold in the bathrooms and there was something on the ceiling in the bedroom... so not the cleanest. But the bed was so comfortable that it didn't matter."
