Anyone coming to Hamvention 2023 with plans to stay at the Ramada Inn in Xenia needs to find other accommodations. According to an article in the Dayton Daily News the city of Xenia will take full possession of the Ramada Inn on Nov. 1.
The land occupied by the Ramada Inn has been owned by the city of Xenia since the 1974 tornado. According to the article, city officials said that AK Group Hotels, Inc., the operator of the Ramada Inn, has been operating under a month-to-month lease since 2017.
In August, the city of Xenia reportedly reached an agreement with Ramada Inn operators that allowed them to operate until Oct. 31 in order to liquidate the business. The land will be incorporated into the Xenia Towne Square revitalization project.
Hamvention management asks hams to share this information so that anyone with reservations at the Ramada Inn Xenia will be aware of it.
