Hilton Garden Inn Wayne

I had the address wrong by two blocks and walked the difference. I traditionally visit IHG properties and selected this location based on it's in hotel bar and restaurant. My initial welcome was fast and courteous, was able to set the Hilton app as a keypads which is pretty cool since often my cellphone wipes out the keypass card.

The room was as expected, clean and modern. Some complimentary waters for being a HH member.

I visited the gym and got in a quick workout, really good combination, enough for many peoples workouts with a little creativity. Waters and headphones available and no posted close time, I also got 15 minutes in the hot tub afterwards, no one else there late at night so a nice relaxing moment after my 4 hour drive.

Got an old fashioned in the bar and it was made right and decent price for a hotel.

Added breakfast to my room for ten bucks or so, on par with what I'm used to plus they had a fresh omelette bar for to order eggs.

Great trip, will return on my next trip down to see the family.

Check-in was handled at the desk by one person who managed three arrivals without visibly prioritizing any of them.

Checkout was simple. No review solicitation, no survey, just a clean exit. Points for that.

If you are going to pick one place in this stretch, this is the one.
