Dayton Travel Guide

An "excellent choice for business travelers working nearby", this chain link in a "quiet, wooded setting" offers a "tastefully decorated lobby", "attractive" rooms with "extra amenities like down comforters and pillow-top mattresses" and an "immensely helpful staff"; despite a "cleaning crew that's noisy in the early hours", overall, it's "perfect for a night or two."

Set on "370 acres of lovely grounds", minutes from Princeton, this "unique" resort woos conferences and retreats for "very restful" stays; accommodations are in rooms in the main building or in bed-and-breakfast–style units in the separate historic Laurie House, and loyalists like the "welcoming feeling" in the "lounge area" with fireplace, the rooms featuring "large beds" and "puffy pillows, "spacious desks for work" and baths with "lots of towels", and the "excellent" "customer service"; still, some maintenance issues, so-so food and an "out-of-the-way" location take it down a few notches.
