Extended Stay America Select Suites - Dayton - Miamisburg
The bed was u comfortable was the room was clean and the staff was amazingly nice. It’s tucked away so we don’t feel like we are too much down town. The only downside besides the bed comfort is that there is a huge unmarked pothole on the street as you turn in but that’s a city problem, not the hotels ...
