Avoid the hot tub at all costs!

1.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 23 May 2022
I am writing with regard to my most recent stay at the Hilton Garden Inn in Wayne, NJ. My boyfriend and I stay at this hotel frequently when he travels and we have always been happy with the property until recently.

On our latest visit (Sunday, May 15, 2022) we used the hot tub to unwind. We noted that it did seem a little “murky” but didn’t think too much about it. After we got back to our room, we noted that our swimsuits smelled rather foul. Several days later (Tuesday), I developed a rash on the trunk of my body along with a painful red spot on my breast. Then I developed a pain in my armpit. At this point, I decided to see a doctor and was diagnosed with “hot tub folliculitis”. I am now on a strong antibiotic and antibacterial cream for this disgusting bacterial infection/rash.

I am beyond disappointed in the Hilton Garden Inn and this apparent lack of cleanliness. I would like to see this rectified. It is enough to make us stay elsewhere in the future.

It was a very comfortable stay with nice staff and spacious room. The location was great since we were there for hockey. Just a 5 minute walk to the ice rink. I would definitely stay here again next time there is a hockey event.

This is a nice, convenient hotel. Clean, friendly people, nice rooms, excellent restaurant and bar. I was there for 5 days due to a family emergency and was able to work using the WiFi and print in the business center. It worked out great

Stayed there for a family wedding, it was very nice with great shuttle service to and from the Brownstone I think each room should have their own individual safes rather than leaving personal belongings at the front desk
