I like this hotel. It's older and has some charm to it. The staff is top notch across the board. The rooms, however, need some attention. The carpets are worn and have dirty spots on them. The mattresses are low end (the bedding and pillows are quite nice, though!). The workout facility is adequate. The conference facility is fantastic.
The property is adjacent to Wright-Patterson AFB and can be difficult to get to if you are not paying close attention. Because of its location, there are no businesses or restaurants within walking distance. There are some great places to shop and eat within a 10–15-minute drive. The on-site restaurants, Packy's, is okay. Food is what you would expect at a hotel restaurant, but not exceptional. The wait staff is fantastic, friendly, and experienced, although we found Packy's to be under-staffed while we were there.
Overall, not a bad place to stay. It has some serious Bob Hope history, charm, and great staff. It needs updated, needs better on-site amenities, and is a bit of a drive to shopping and dining. I would give 3.5 if that was an option, but it is not a four star.
