We stayed one night as a family for a stopover. For the price that’s what I expected. Clean rooms and bathrooms comfortable beds, easy parking, a continental breakfast - waffles and packet of pastries with brewed coffee. Overall quite a good location and safe neighbourhood. Only issue was that you could hear people talking in the corridor or in neighbouring rooms. It’s an old building so I suppose sound insulation is not the best

MAN TRIED TO BREAK INTO MY ROOM HERE!!!!!!! NEVER COMING BACK I’ve came here twice before and never had any problems however last night, 4/6, around 3:30am I was awoken by noise coming from outside my room I assumed it was drunk people returning from a night out but I didn’t hear nobody talking just a jiggling and banging noise so I got up to see what it was and there was a MAN right outside the door trying to break in. Called the front desk to report the man and to let them know I will be calling the cops and I was talked down to not call the cops and instead go back to sleep because “he’s gone now it’s ok.” Needless to say, I WILL NEVER BE COMING BACK HERE!!!!!! I want to mention that I got to my room around 11pm that night and a man was wandering the halls being very suspicious and I am almost sure it was the same man trying to break into my room. DO NOT STAY HERE ESPECIALLY WITH YOUNG CHILDREN!!!

3 star hotel at a fair price for the area

Overall for the price it was worth the value. Free parking and the breakfast option were 2 of the top things that drew me to The Wave. The underground private parking was great. The breakfast was lacking. We stayed 3 nights total at 2 different times (went to San Diego for a few days in between) both rooms were clean and minimally stocked. There were only 2 bath towels in each room. We were missing a hand towel in the first room and a bath mat the second room. The checkin process was smooth both times and the staff was accommodating. The location was good and very close to quite a few restaurants and the ocean was a short drive. I booked online at hotels.com and prior to my checkin I tried calling the hotel for 3 days… no answer…. Ever. Finally a few hours before my late flight I tried again and they finally answered! Hallelujah! I was told that since I didn’t prepay for my room that they would have cancelled my reservation at 7pm that night. Good thing someone finally answered the phone as our flight didn’t get in until 11pm. They do staff the office 24 hours a day though but the site said no check ins after midnight. So, not sure but in the end I was glad it all worked out!
