Hilton Garden Inn says no race? No problem! They’ll be the first to send you from Dover down to Woodland Beach – but not without insisting that their chef cooks up pancakes, eggs and fresh muffins for your breakfast. With the beaches of Delaware Bay only a twenty-minute drive away, you can catch a little sun before finishing your swim at the hotel’s indoor pool when the stars come out.

Hampton Inn Dover, for a shopping pitstop
