With over 7,000 square feet of event space and three separate meeting rooms, you can choose the one that matches your specific desires.

You are free to customize each room and decorate it in the colors that match your wedding day theme and vibe. The friendly staff at the Baymont will be by your side from the moment you arrive, always willing to help out and offer guidance and advice throughout the festivities.
There is so much for your family and friends to do during their stay, such as relaxing in the hot tub or swimming at the indoor pool.

This amusement park is fun for all ages and has something for everyone, from exhilarating rides to the excitement of the water park.

Great location, near Valley Fair. Service was unbeatable- Staff acted like they actually enjoyed their jobs. Breakfast was one of the best I've had at a hotel. Room was big enough to not feel crowded and we slept very well.

was wonderful and brought out new hot water and hot coco when there wasn't any. We loved that the cook (and can't remember his name) was very kind and sociable, and answered our questions. Thank you for a great stay.

Customer Service, well when we checked in, She was AMAZING. Our a/c wasn’t turned on and in minutes maintenance there perfect. But, when I called day before no one was at front desk no one answered and I was put on hold then hung up on. So, che...
ckout waited for 20 minutes and no one not one person and no bell. Rooms were good. Clean, kept up. Breakfast was great and convenient. Restaurant and Bar, I loved it. Wonderful staff. Friendly and kind and prompt. Location to races and Valley Fair plus other restaurants as well as interstate top notch. It is more middle class and retro not modern. The price is perfect and we’d stay here again for sure!!!
