に VS へ indicating movement
こんにちは、Is there any difference between these sentences?
お手洗いに行きます
お手洗いへ行きます
I've been wondering for long if there is any slight difference in the meaning between using へ or に to indicate the goal of movement or if it is just personal preference

に - Is a direct particle in the case of direction. You are going TO the restroom.
へ - Is more like you're headed to where ever. You are going TOWARDS the restroom.
In the sentence you provided there really is no difference. There definitely is a pattern between natives and what they will use に and へ for.
Why the difference? Lets say you are headed somewhere but you might stop at different places along the way, or perhaps you may not even ultimately reach your intended destination. へ would be used. What if someone asked you where someone went, but you don't know where they were exactly headed, but you know the direction they went. You can use へ for that as well.
Hope this clears things up a little bit.

Hey, Jokin.
I'm not a expert, so this is my personal opinion.
I think they have the same meaning, too.
But, 「~へ行く」sounds more formal to me than 「~に行く」.
Personally, I usually use 「~に行く」in daily conversation. But when I want to speak more politely, I tend to choose to use 「~へ行く」.
Also, I think 「~へ行く」is more literary rather than colloquial.
I feel like I see 「~へ行く」more often in written form.
I hope it will help. :)
