We bought background stands to use for decorations as nothing can be taped or even command stripped to the wall. This was a non issue and would rather have freshly painted walls over wall damage!!

On Friday…read more3/22/19 we found out that we needed to find a venue for a celebration of life that would be held on Monday 3/26. The team members made the event happen with less than a half day's business notice. Wait, it gets more amazing. We show up on Monday am and realize that we should have booked the barn and not the house. Why, because we were now expecting twice the number of people. Debbie, Emily, and the other wonderful lady made that happen instantly. We are so appreciative of their help and support during a difficult time. From the bottom of our hearts thank you for helping make a very difficult thing - saying goodbye to our Mom - just a bit easier.

I visited this restaurant for the first time yesterday with a friend. I was blown away by the…read moresandwich we ordered. It was so large that we chose to split it. I decided to try a salad today. I ordered the chef salad. Unfortunately I was disappointed with the amount of protein they put on it. As you can see from the picture, there were tiny pieces of turkey and ham that was almost nonexistent. I am disappointed for sure. A $9.00 salad should be more than a bowl of salad greens and dressing. I won't write them off because the sandwiches are amazing, but I will NOT order another salad from them. It was not worth it money I paid.

I went here as part of a group, and they seem to get a lot of school field trips, but they're well organized, and it's a big place, so even with a ton of kids at the place, you don't feel like you're crowded. They have really great people working here, who are more than happy to answer your questions and explain things to you. I had like, fifteen minutes alone with the candle-maker lady and my son, and she entertained all of his questions and was really cool to talk with. They have a lot of Dayton-related history around NCR, and flight, and nuclear energy, and old automobiles. I bet it's a blast to work there. My favorite part though, was the outdoors area. It's just a really well maintained facility with lots of big old trees, and shade, and you can really just kick back and relax and chill out.

The Presidential Banquet Center is a welcoming venue for the Greater Dayton Metropolitan Area. The management is first rate. The service is similar to that provided in conference hotels in the nation's cities. Service is not always first rate, but these employees do their best. Menus and kitchen are first rate. In February, we attended the Lincoln Society of Dayton, the Sons of American Revolution, and the Sons of Union Veterans presidential birthday banquets. Different menus and different service offered excellent experiences. A primary factor is abundant on-site parking. We prefer the buffets; although, we also attended plated service. The plated service is slow. Given nearly 50 years with great experiences at this venue, we highly recommend.

It's strange that this hotel was supposedly recently opened because so many things in our room were…read moreold/broken/needed attention. First of all, the toilet didn't flush correctly, it ran continuously. Secondly, the exhaust fan in the bathroom didn't work. After only two people showering, the entire room/walls were wet from the steam. It was crazy. Then, the smoke detector was chirping because it needed a battery change. Luckily this issue was resolved before it was time to go to sleep. Finally, and maybe I'm asking too much with this last complaint, but most hotels recently have a full size/newer hair dryer. This one was the super old school teeny tiny dryer that couldn't even dry my thin hair. It shouldn't cost too much to upgrade these and it would be much appreciated. Positives: The breakfast was great and the staff was friendly! Oh yeah- I agree with the review below about the pool being WAY over chlorinated. It was like swimming in Salt Water!

We got there on time and the venue coordinator rushed us the whole time! When we told her we weren't having alcohol at the wedding she said "well that's odd" (meanwhile you have to purchase all alcohol thru the venue "$$$ hungry place" ) I also explained how I would like to rearrange some things regarding the layout and was told it wasn't going to add any additional cost... I received the contract to book and they added a fee at the last minute. I reached back out and they literally made a fee of something they told me during my walkthrough was going to be free. Not good communication on this fee and no apology on giving false information. I wish I could tell you that being discriminated against regarding alcohol was the worst but it's not. (The reasoning for our wedding not having this was due to religious reasons which was on my file) Please read on. The owner The owner is honestly a horrible person. She would reach out to me with an attitude everytime there was issue but then also said the issues never happened. My coordinator never handled any of the questions I ever had. The last phone call I had with the owner (meanwhile this was our 45 day out call) she started with "So are you wanting to cancel because I don't think we're a good fit for you" first thing out of her mouth plus this was told to a bride 45 DAYS before her wedding?! The biggest day of her life!? Not only that I explained how I just been hurt by so many situations from the staff here (all upper management) and how all of this could be easily moved on if I just had an apology she replied "well that's not going to happen so anything else" Plus she even said how she was thinking of canceling my wedding and wouldn't confirm if she would or not. After my phone call I wanted to get this in writing so I emailed her. (Disclaimer : With this location if it's regarding anything important, make sure you have it on email because anything else said during tours or phone calls they will not respect or act like they heard it) on the image below, you can clearly see how she's not even willing to give me an apology or confirm that she's not canceling my wedding 40 days out. Everything that was true stated by staff that I voiced to the owner was responded by saying "that didn't happen move on" "my staff wouldn't say that they're trained better" always disregard anything I said. You will never feel heard here. Unfortunately after only a couple months booked with them I realized every phone call and in person interaction needed to be recorded. I have proof of all of this. Unfortunately google will not let you put voice memo in the review. Our last meeting / walk thru During the 45 day out meeting the owner brought in the building manager and the venue coordinator including herself and her non staff husband. She would not speak to me and just look at her husband to answer. After the meeting we had our final walk thru and she was talking awful about me to the building manager. Then just left. After we were finished with our walk thru getting everything ready the building manager came up to me and my family and apologized and said "I don't know why Ashley (the owner) said you guys were an escalation you seem like great people. (Again I have this recorded) The good. I was assigned to a new venue coordinator who actually respected me. She told me she was not going to let the owner cancel the wedding and explained how that would literally be the worse thing someone could ever do to a bride. Helped me work seating charts back and forth. Katie was the only person who gave me peace of mind. Email from the owner below with no apologies or explanation of why she acted the way she did. Why I still booked I've got a lot of questions about why did I still book but if you live in the Dayton area you know there's not much to pick from to stay in budget. Don't get me wrong it's a beautiful location it's just the staff. Until I thought The venue was disgusting. See photos below. I had a bridesmaid go there before anyone to take picture so we could have before and after just in case if they kept our security deposit. The stairs were filled with dirt. The white walls had black marks on them. The bathrooms were not cleaned. The toilets were disgusting! Hair all over the floors. Trash not taken out. Let's just say I was only there for an hour before my feet were completely black on the bottom. There's even cobwebs in almost every single corner of the venue. AGAIN SO MUCH DUST. Just look at my feet completely black from one hour in the bridal suite. I hope this helps a future bride to save tears during a season that's supposed to be exciting not heart breaking time filled with stress due to the staff. I hope you can feel safe going to a 45 days out meeting and know that you're being heard. Most importantly I have you hav
