Dayton is a great little town. Our family went to the fair it is small but good for little ones 1 year old and 3 year old. The overall staff was good, The desk staff was a little strange I wanted to pay for my son's room and check his family in before they arrived. Even though everything was in my name with credit card, address, etc. I asked for a room key, to set up toys for the grand kids, to make it special. The desk staff had a hard time doing that. I think he could not think outside the box, rules are rules and you don't defer from them. Like everything is black or white no gray. A few other incidents with the same staff member.
All in all it is one of the nicest motels we have ever stayed in with its set up. All the rooms are large and well kept, very clean. The breakfast was good. They have a nice coffee machine, with plenty to eat. The pool, hot tub and shower are exceptionally clean. It has a great large patio to lay in the sun,
We prefer to stay in this small town instead of Walla Walla, Washington. Dayton it is just so much nicer and less hassle. with Walla Walla being only 25 miles west. There is a small town 8 miles west of Dayton, Called Waitsburg, They have 2 new great places to eat right down town. And a nursery on the next street is 1 block north, it has plants,flowers,fresh vegetables And the special Walla Walla sweet onions.
I would encourage everyone to check these small quaint towns out. It is worth your wild, and so much summertime fun.
