Forget your worries in this spacious and serene space. Equipped with a high end queen bed, comfy futon, pullout sofa, and clawfoot bathtub, the Byrd Nest is stylish and Wayne's most unique hotel offering.
The space
Located in the original 1912 Wayne City Hall building, the Byrd Nest is a quaint space with lots of charm, occupying what was once the Council Chambers and kitchenette. The space kept several elements from the original use including the antique eight foot Council table purchased in 1912, original doors, hard wood floor and too many charming elements to list!

The Byrd Nest sleeps up to six with a queen bed, hide-a-bed and comfiest futon. The bathroom features a very functional 100 year old cast-iron claw-foot tub.

We created a changing area to increase privacy in the quaint space.

The kitchenette features an oversized mini fridge with freezer, original farmhouse sink, large table and microwave.
