Baymont by Wyndham Pompton Plains/Wayne

Comfortable Convenience Near the Northern NJ Music Scene

Modern and laid-back, the Baymont by Wyndham Pompton Plains/Wayne delivers a reliable, no-fuss stay just off Route 23. Located just 3 miles from William Paterson University and near Willowbrook Mall, this hotel blends suburban calm with easy access to top North Jersey concert venues. Rooms are well-equipped with free Wi-Fi, a 32-inch flat-screen TV, microwave, and mini-fridge — ideal for winding down after a high-energy show. Upgrade to a suite if you want space to crash with friends, thanks to a separate living room and sofa bed.

Why Concert-goers love it

Thanks to its quiet, suburban setting, guests can enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep post-concert without sacrificing location. The hotel is a short drive from multiple venues and offers easy highway access for late-night returns. With a 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, there’s flexibility to squeeze in rest before hitting the road. Free parking makes it extra road-trip friendly.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking to share a suite and stay close to the action
• Solo travelers attending a must-see show nearby
• Couples turning a concert into a weekend escape
• Fans seeking a quieter environment to recover after the encore
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want comfort without breaking the bank

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Manhattan Lounge offers full-service dining and drinks without needing to leave the building — a huge plus after a long night out. While room service isn’t 24/7, having a restaurant and bar on-site is a definite perk. Each room includes a microwave and fridge, great for late-night leftovers or quick pre-show snacks. Breakfast is available the next morning, so you won’t need to leave the hotel to refuel.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more relaxed than rowdy, the Manhattan Lounge has a bar atmosphere perfect for a nightcap or pre-show drink. For more action, it’s a short drive to local bars and lounges in Wayne and surrounding towns. You’ll find everything from casual pubs to upscale cocktail spots within a reasonable ride.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the clean, spacious rooms and the convenience of in-room amenities like fridges and microwaves. The location earns high marks for being close to major roads yet peaceful. Reviewers also mention the friendliness of the staff and the value for the price, especially compared to more urban hotels.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the décor feels a bit dated, and while the on-site restaurant is convenient, the menu is somewhat limited. There’s also no shuttle service, so having a car is a plus.

The Bottom Line

If you’re catching a show in northern NJ and want an affordable, comfy base with solid amenities and a quiet vibe, Baymont by Wyndham Pompton Plains/Wayne hits the right notes.
