November 3, 20222 yr I will say this: If there is any city in Ohio (outside of Rock N' Roll Cleveland) that deserves an actual music-themed hotel, it's Dayton. Am I shocked? Yes. Is Dayton deserving? Absolutely. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
November 4, 20222 yr 20 hours ago, ColDayMan said: To say I'm shocked is an understatement... Plans for shuttered Downtown Dayton hotel revealed A downtown Dayton hotel reportedly closing its doors for good may still be a player in the city’s landscape. The decision to now remain open would be a boon for the city core. The Radisson Hotel at 33 E. Fifth St. that is connected the Dayton Convention Center was thought to be closing. However, a press release from Radisson indicates the hotel will reopen after renovations: "The current Radisson Hotel adjacent to the Dayton Convention Center and located at 33 E. Fifth St, Dayton, Ohio has temporarily closed its operations as of the end of October 2022 while the hotel undergoes significant renovations. The owners of the hotel, LW Dayton LLC and its affiliate Lockwood Development Partners LLC, know that the hotel is an important amenity to the Dayton Convention Center and downtown and we look forward to reopening the upgraded hotel once all renovations are complete."

This property needs some serious upgrades and love, paint, carpet, and wallpaper only cover a sloppy ole pig for long...
November 4, 20222 yr Pretty exciting for Dayton, and I would assume with a brand that's as worried about appearances as Hard Rock is that there will be more than just FF&# and paint. With it's direct adjacency to Levitt Pavilion I really hope they can leverage the location for some special concerts or events too.
