Where to Stay in Wayne NJ: Full-Service Hotels and Suites
Wayne has two clusters of lodging. One cluster sits on Nevins Road, close to the Ice Vault Arena and William Paterson University. The other sits along Route 46 near Interstate 80 and Willowbrook Mall. The properties below appear in several booking and trade listings. Confirm each detail with the hotel before you pay, because listings differ on small points.
Hilton Garden Inn Wayne
Hilton Garden Inn Wayne stands at 15 Nevins Road, Wayne, NJ 07470. The hotel opened on 17 August 2015 with 125 guest rooms, according to Meetings Today. A Trip.com listing gives check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out by noon, with a front desk open around the clock.
Guests get an indoor heated pool, a whirlpool, and a 24-hour fitness center. The lobby holds the Garden Grille and Bar. Rooms include a microwave, a mini refrigerator, and a Keurig coffee maker. Free Wi-Fi and free parking come with a stay. Three meeting rooms offer more than 1,875 square feet of space, so the hotel suits small business events.
Trip.com places the hotel near Laurelwood Arboretum, William Paterson University, and St. Joseph’s Hospital. Pick this hotel if you want a full-service base with a restaurant on site. We could not confirm the current breakfast policy, so ask when you book.
Residence Inn by Marriott Wayne
Residence Inn by Marriott Wayne stands at 30 Nevins Road, Wayne, NJ 07470. Orbitz counts 118 rooms. Hotels.com and Orbitz both list check-in from 3 PM and check-out at noon.
Every suite has a full kitchen. The listings also name an indoor heated pool, a hot tub, a 24-hour gym, on-site laundry, free Wi-Fi, free parking, and a free hot breakfast. Pets are welcome with a fee and a weight limit, so call about the current rules. Both sites mention a free shuttle within a few miles.
The Ice Vault Arena sits within walking distance. William Paterson University is a five-minute drive, and Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park is about 12 minutes away, based on the Hotels.com listing. Choose this property for a stay of several nights, because the kitchen and laundry cut the cost of eating out and packing.
Home2 Suites by Hilton Wayne
Home2 Suites by Hilton Wayne stands at 350 Route 46, Wayne, NJ 07470. Suiteness lists the phone as 855-282-1325. Halalbooking lists check-in after 4:00 PM and check-out before 11:00 AM. Hilton has not confirmed these times to us, so verify them.
Both listings name an indoor pool, a fitness center, a business center, free Wi-Fi, free parking, and a 24-hour front desk. Suiteness adds a free daily breakfast and a free area shuttle. Halalbooking says pets are welcome with a fee. Suites range from studios to larger layouts with kitchen areas.
Both listings put Willowbrook Mall about four minutes away by car and MetLife Stadium about 12 miles away. Pick this hotel if you want a newer suite-style room on the Route 46 side of town.
Motels and Budget Hotels in Wayne NJ
Budget travelers have three options. All three sit on the busy Route 23 and Route 46 corridors. Expect highway noise and plan to drive. Because we rely on third-party listings for these properties, call each one before you commit.
Days Inn by Wyndham Wayne
Days Inn by Wyndham Wayne stands at 1850 Route 23, Wayne, NJ 07470. The Wyndham page lists 146 rooms and the phone 973-988-4859. A trade listing gives check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM.
The Wyndham page names free Wi-Fi, a free light breakfast, a fitness center, a business center, guest laundry, and free parking with room for large vehicles. In each room you will find a microwave, a mini refrigerator, and a coffee maker. The trade listing also mentions a pool, which the Wyndham page does not. Ask whether the pool is open before you pack swim gear.
Quality Inn Wayne Fairfield Area
Quality Inn Wayne Fairfield Area stands at 334 Route 46 East, Wayne, NJ 07470, on the service road. A trade listing gives the phone as 973-256-7000. The same listing counts 140 rooms, with check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM.
The listing names free parking, free coffee, Wi-Fi in common areas, a business center, an outdoor pool, and a restaurant called Capers. The Travelocity guide also lists the hotel on Route 46 East. We found only one source for the amenity list, so treat the pool and restaurant as unconfirmed and ask by phone.
The listing places the hotel near the Interstate 80 junction and Willowbrook Mall. Choose this hotel if you want easy highway access. The name mentions the Fairfield area, so check the street address on your booking to avoid confusion.
Essence Express Wayne
Essence Express Wayne stands at 320 US Route 46, Wayne, NJ 07470, according to Trip.com and Travelocity. Trip.com counts 57 rooms and lists check-in after 3:00 PM and check-out before 11:00 AM. Rooms have cable TV, a private bathroom, a refrigerator, and a work desk.
Guest ratings on Trip.com sit well below the larger chain hotels, with about half the reviews negative. We found no official website. Read recent reviews, confirm the details by phone, and ask to see the room type before you pay. Choose this property only if price matters more than amenities.
Hotels Near Dey Mansion and Other Wayne Attractions
Dey Mansion sits at 199 Totowa Road in Wayne, and no hotel in Wayne offers its own link to the site. The Passaic County tourism site says the museum offers no overnight stays. Our old version of this guide listed Dey Mansion as a place to sleep. Do not book a room there.
The mansion served as General George Washington’s headquarters in the summer and fall of 1780. Colonel Theunis Dey and his wife Hester owned the home. Today the site runs guided house tours, lectures, and programs about colonial life. Call 973-706-6640 for current hours and tour reservations. Sources disagree on opening time, with the county page saying 10 AM and a state tourism page saying 9 AM. Both agree the museum closes on Monday and Tuesday.
Willowbrook Mall ranks among the larger malls in New Jersey, according to Wikipedia. William Paterson University and High Mountain Park Preserve also sit in the township. For rail travel, NJ Transit’s Montclair-Boonton Line stops at Mountain View and Wayne Route 23 stations. Multiple bus routes connect Wayne to Port Authority in Manhattan and to Newark.
Any of the hotels above works for a Dey Mansion visit because the township is compact. Check a map for current driving times, because we did not source distances from each hotel to the mansion.
Old Listings We Removed From This Guide
Our earlier version named several properties we could not verify. We removed them so you do not plan around a place you cannot book.
The Dey Mansion is a museum and not a lodging. Our earlier text also listed a Homewood Suites by Hilton in Wayne. We found no Homewood Suites in Wayne. Hilton does run a Home2 Suites on Route 46, which is a different brand, so we describe the Home2 above. We also dropped a Cozy Carriage House Apartment. We found no listing with a verifiable address.
The old text placed Garret Mountain Reservation near a Wayne hotel. Wikipedia places this 568-acre county park in Paterson, Woodland Park, and Clifton, and does not list Wayne. We removed the claim. A booking site also lists a Wayne Inn with a bar and restaurant. We found only one listing, so we did not include the property.
Getting to Wayne and Getting Around
Wayne lies in northern New Jersey, less than 20 miles from Midtown Manhattan. Interstate 80, US Routes 46 and 202, and New Jersey Route 23 cross the township, according to Wikipedia. Most visitors drive and park free at the hotels above.
Newark Liberty International Airport serves the area. Listings for Home2 Suites and the Residence Inn place Newark roughly 24 km or about 50 minutes away by car, depending on traffic. Check a live map before you travel.
Without a car, use NJ Transit. The Montclair-Boonton Line serves Wayne Route 23 and Mountain View stations. Check the NJ Transit schedule for current trains and fares. Several hotels on Nevins Road and Route 46 advertise a free area shuttle. Ask the front desk about hours and the shuttle radius.
How to Choose Where to Stay in Wayne NJ
Families usually do best with a suite. The Residence Inn and Home2 Suites advertise kitchens or kitchen areas, pools, and free breakfast. Confirm breakfast hours when you book.
Business travelers should look at Hilton Garden Inn Wayne. The hotel offers meeting rooms, a business center, and a restaurant in the lobby. The Days Inn and Quality Inn also list business centers.
Pet owners can start with the Residence Inn and Home2 Suites, both of which list pets with a fee. Call each hotel for the current limits.
Budget travelers should compare the three Route 23 and Route 46 motels by phone. Ask for the total with taxes and fees, and compare the total on two booking sites.
Stadium and event visitors should note the listings place MetLife Stadium about 12 to 17 miles from the hotels. Book early on event weekends, and ask about parking and shuttle service.
Before you pay, confirm the property name on the building, the cancellation policy, the breakfast hours, and the pet rules. Ask for written confirmation.
What We Checked and What We Could Not
We took the Hilton Garden Inn opening date and room count from Meetings Today and the address and amenities from Trip.com. We took the Residence Inn details from Hotels.com and Orbitz, the Home2 Suites details from Halalbooking and Suiteness, and the Days Inn details from Wyndham and a trade listing. We took the Dey Mansion details from the Passaic County tourism site and Journey Through Jersey. We took township facts from Wikipedia.
We could not confirm current rates, official check-in times for every hotel, or the amenities at Essence Express Wayne. We could not open several official brand pages. Phone numbers, policies, and renovations change, so confirm each detail with the property before you travel.
