What a wonderful two night three day experience that included the perfect stay at the Inn Port Lodging B&B! Located in the positively gorgeous historic Oregon District. This artfully restored home makes for a charming introduction into Dayton. I booked the entire top floor for a lifelong bestie and I to use as a relaxing visiting home base for our Donny Osmond concert excursion. We each had beautiful, comfortable bedrooms with bathrooms for each of us as well. The two units combined have a fully functioning little kitchen area to sit and dine, chat and store leftovers. There is also a well stocked common eating area downstairs that becomes private if you book the entire upstairs as well. My bedroom had a sitting area that we used as a living room to plan our whirlwind tour of the Packard Museum and Dayton Art Institute as suggested by our gracious host, Leslie. The heat index was in the 100 level so we opted for indoor sightseeing to stay cool and hydrated for our outdoor venue at Fraze Pavilion- Donny! We greatly appreciated the input from Leslie on the area, history and lovely air-conditioned attractions within minutes. She suggested a quick walking tour of the neighborhood of local historic homes in one direction and the shops in the other on our arrival. Leslie, was kind enough to meet us two hours early upon on arrival to get us checked in so we could drop our bags to see the area in the daylight. The bathrooms had every necessity needed- shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer etc. The kitchen also had an ironing board, iton, ice trays in the fridge, fans or space heaters in the bedrooms to meet individual needs. The downstairs kitchen had bagels, english muffins, fruit, cereals, yogurt, orange juice, milk, teas, coffee and table settings to make it feel homey. There were even water bottles to use for sightseeing adventures. Each overnight guest has an assigned parking spot since the neighborhood is centuries old the streets are small without extra space. The main doors are locked, plus the upstairs has extra doors with locks for both security and privacy. I will look for a reason to return to Dayton to just enjoy another wonderful stay here! The price is very reasonable for the custom service and amenities, plus the beautiful location. Thank you, Leslie for allowing us to enjoy your neighborhood.

My dad and I stayed here for two nights, while we visited the National Museum of the United States Air Force. It's an old building that oozes charm, and we had a ton of space to ourselves. It was great to be able to head down the common lounge area and put on some Nat King Cole vinyl to listen to while having morning coffee! Leslie was a great host, and made sure we had everything we needed to feel comfortable. I'll be coming back to the USAF museum - it's enormous, and two days wasn't enough to see it all, and I'll certainly be checking to see if Inn Port has room for me when I come back.

Great place to stay if visiting the Oregon District! The wife and I stayed here overnight so we could visit a friend who played at a nearby bar. Our expectations were exceeded! This is an old late 19th century house converted into a few hotel rooms. The one we stayed in "The Oporto" was on the second floor. It actually consisted of a bathroom, dining/kitchenette area, and bedroom. All of which was private (key and deadbolt doors), and did not share any common areas with other guests. There was ample space to accommodate us. Overall it was a "home away from home". The common areas with the lounge, continental breakfast dining area, and Deaf Monty's were nice. The use of space was well done. And what appeared to be the original room carvings and moldings provided a warm atmosphere. The staff were excellent. The owner herself greeted us, and gave us some information about the neighborhood we were staying in. The other woman who helped checked us in gave us a tour of the rooms, and also helped us select a nice bottle of wine to drink later that evening. Overall I highly rate this as a good place to stay. Its quiet (at least in the Winter), warm, and tons of space to relax in.

Had a very enjoyable stay although too short to fully take in all Dayton has to offer. The cheese and olives were delicious and the atmosphere was friendly and quaint. Would definitely recommend!

Such a wonderful stay in a delightfully old building. Stayed in the Port/Oporto room for 5 nights over Thanksgiving 2023. My area was quite spacious and comfortable - a little chilly (however I am from Florida) but keeping the bedroom door closed helped a lot. The inn in located in the heart of the historic Oregon District of Dayton, Ohio which has quite a few interesting stores, coffee shops, and restaurants all within close walking distance. I stayed 5 nights during Thanksgiving 2023. There is quite a bit of common space on the first floor stocked with coffee, snacks, fruit, OJ, etc. I did have a coffee pot in my room but I liked coming downstairs for it and lingering. I felt safe and welcomed. Leslie is a great hostess and seemed genuinely concerned about my comfort. Wonderful experience, would recommend and will return.

My wife and I were in town to attend a convention and this place was perfect. Cozy, clean rooms. Nice selection of foods for continental breakfast. Walking distance to the convention center as well as being in the heart of a wide variety of restaurants, bars, and eclectic shops.

This place takes you literally back in time. The wine selections were nice and very friendly service. They don't stay open too long but I will say this is for a mature people to come and relax and take the moment in and you can also purchase your wine to go. They do have cheese and crackers so don't expect to come and get full it's samples. Can't wait to go back, this is a place to where if you really don't know about your wine start here and it's inexpensive to sample
