The owners are racist. Spend your money elsewhere! This is a fact, not just an opinion. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Dayton_House_Resort/r860470 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Dayton_House_Resort/r1080483 We love staying here on our MB visits! They always have our room ready (even before check-in time). We find the staff friendly and helpful. The rooms are basic but always clean and inviting. We love the location and proximity to Broadway at the Beach. The pools are clean and fun. I recommend this hotel as a nice place without breaking the bank. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Dayton_House_Resort/r1080483 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Dayton_House_Resort/r464647 Well lets start with the staff they were very rude, not friendly at all to start with. I made my reservation on the internet, not knowing exactly want the room look like, but i was looking for a very nice up to date room, but when i got there i was so disappointed with the room and we were for three days, three long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Days after talking to other people that were staying there and said they come back every year. I was told I was in the old building, the place was not clean, it was small, the lights were dim, this place need to be UPDATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish i had i had read the reviews prior to making my reservation. I will never recommand this place to anyone. I LOVE THE SWING BY THE POOL. THAT WAS NICE SEE I DID FIND SOMETHING NICE TO SAY ABOUT THE PLACE http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Dayton_House_Resort/r464647 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Dayton_House_Resort/r464648 For starters, the staff was incredibly nice. The rooms are no frills and very clean. We stayed in an oceanfront efficiency in the South Building. I like the south building a little better because you can keep an eye on the hot tub so that you can make a beeline for it when it's free :) The housekeeping staff were very nice as well. On the days that we had the dnd on the door, they called to make sure that we had enough towels and necessities like soap/shampoo and coffee. I hadn't been there in about 12 years, and having read some of the reviews on here I was a little bit concerned that things may have changed for the worse at the Dayton House, but I was more than happy with out stay. We wanted to stay an extra day and they worked it out for us. I am sure most of these people that gave bad reviews failed to follow the correct procedures or had a bad attitude from the start. If you are expecting your every whim to be catered to, go someplace else and pay four times as much. This is a great place for couples and families who need a good vacation with no hassle or aggravation. Since I had last been there, they have put in a much larger overflow pool. It's not quite as deep as the old pool, but thanks to stupid people that sue over their own lack of responsibility, you will be had pressed to find any hotel pools deeper than 5 feet anywhere. Still, 5 feet deep is plenty enough for your average person and more than enough for kids. I also really liked the new hot-tub, it's quite a bit bigger than the old one. The fact that they have 3 pools, 3 hot tubs and a lazy river also helps if you want to get away from the main pool area. In terms of negative things to say, the only thing gripe I had was that someone who had stayed in our room prior to us had failed to wash some of the dishes to a high standard. It is clearly put up on the cabinets that it is the renter's responsibility to clean the dishes, not housekeeping. Wash your dishes, people!!!! My wife and I will continue to stay there every time we go back to the beach and I am already planning for next year! We sincerely thank the staff at the Dayton House for helping us to have a great vacation that we both so desperately needed! Thanks Dayton House!! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Dayton_House_Resort/r464648 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Dayton_House_Resort/r464649 When we arrived we were able to check-in early and the pools were nice and the room was clean, but that is where the positives end. The room was small, the staff was extremely rude, the pool "guard" stared at us the entire time and when we called to the front desk to inquire about the room that we thought was supposed to be oceanfront, they responded with "you made the reservation, not us." When we ventured into the gift shop the attendant we received a chilly reception at best. Also, if you request anything from the front desk be prepared to go get it yourself. Overall, if you avoid the staff altogether and don't expect any extras then this is the place for you. If you are looking for a resort like the hotel name suggest then avoid this hotel at ALL costs. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Dayton_House_Resort/r464649 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Dayton_House_Resort/r464650 for the price i paid for 180 i expected a nice room, on the contrary, dirty kitchen, the stove had some kind of purple jelly smeared all over it when we first got there. the fridge was dirty also. i would definately not come here again. the csr people were very rude. the housekeeper never left any extras soap. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Dayton_House_Resort/r464650 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Dayton_House_Resort/r374986 The hotel was pretty clean and the staff was friendly. The pools, lazy river, hot tubs, and sauna was nice. The elevators could use some cleaning..they didn't smell too nice. Excellent view and easy beach access. Great location also. Very nice place! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Dayton_House_Resort/r374986 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Dayton_House_Resort/r464651 Front Desk Phyllis and Manager Andy is extremely rude and do not care about customer service. Already well on my way to South Carolina from Massachusetts I called and they asked how old I was after I had already gotten a confirmation letter and payed for the hotel. They stated they would not give me my room and would be keeping my money after I was not 25 yrs old. Being an Iraqi Veteran and about to leave for Iraq in 2 months for another tour I could not believe how degraded they made me feel, If you are in the Military or a Marine as myself please keep your money from these communist who made me and my fiancee sleep in my car for a night till we found another hotel after doing so much service for our great country. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Dayton_House_Resort/r464651 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Dayton_House_Resort/r464652 wow i cant believe this place stays in buisiness. Front desk staff very rude on the phone when making reservation ( ist clue not to stay). When we arrived nobody at the desk for 20 minutes and no appology when they did show up, then they decided our family of 4 was to big for there rooms and decided not to give us our room and denied us our deposit back. i have read all the other reviews of this resort and wished i had read them prior to reserving... we drove 20 hours from Michigan and had no place to stay... ended up staying at a beautiful rsort on the beach and while talking to locals about our experience they divulged they have heard silmiliar stories about this establishment... word to the wise STAY AWAY!!! awful owners and indecive reservations manager with no substantial reasons of denieing room. would never ever recommend this place http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Dayton_House_Resort/r464652 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Dayton_House_Resort/r464653 manager is rude as is the front desk staff. never been to a place run the way they do. no customer service, not nice at all. they took our reservation and deposit online but when it came to check in refused to give us a room (only a family of two) and then told us we would not get our deposit back!!!! Do Not stay here Do not trust them!!!!!!! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Dayton_House_Resort/r464653
