Ramada owners say Xenia is making wrong move, but city moves toward hotel closure
XENIA — The city of Xenia plans to take possession of the local Ramada Inn this November, but hotel owners are arguing the move is bad for Xenia taxpayers and the community as a whole.
The city last week cited the hotel’s failure to renew their lease, years of delinquent lease payments, a history of fire code violations and property maintenance issues in terminating the lease, issues that hotel owners say are “not unusual,” according to a statement. Lawyers for AK Group Hotels said the city taking possession of the hotel is “negligent at best, and punitive.”
“The action they’re taking is certainly against not only the public’s, but the taxpayers’ best interest, because this burden will fall at the feet of the taxpayer and serves no real purpose,” said AK Group attorney Michael Hrabcak.

The pull is particularly strong in downtown’s “Innovation District” near and around Day Air Ballpark. But it goes to the core downtown area, as well.
