The room was small for the modern style furniture but it was clean and quiet. Easy access to the boardwalk. Staff didnt make us aware of the muffins and coffee we just happened to over hear them informing the next customer as we entered the elevator.

No one at the front desk when we arrived to check in. Had to call the hotel on the phone to get someone to the desk. Room had a pile of dirt that housekeeping must have forgotten to pick up. Room had a strong sickening smell of maple syrup that I finally concluded was probably a coolant leak from the A/C and it's burning my throat. Kids have been running up and down the hallway and screaming until 1:00 a.m.

I recently stayed [4/22-4/24] at The Waves Hotel in Wildwood, New Jersey, and had a wonderful experience! The room was very clean and well-maintained, with no rugs, which added to the modern and fresh vibe. The hotel is conveniently located near the beach and local attractions, making it easy to enjoy everything Wildwood has to offer although I could've dived deeper into the fun if it was on season. Just needed a little time away from the monotony. On top of that, the stay was at a great price, offering excellent value. I would highly recommend The Waves Hotel to anyone visiting the area

The clerk was not at the front desk at check in. We had to call a phone number that was left at the desk and she would come down. We stayed out of season so the area was like a ghost town so that's prb why. Hotel was clean and quiet.

Good location and nice room. Very clean. The parking garage is a little hard to navigate because it has a lot of columns. Overall it was a great stay for us, just being there for one night for an event at the convention center.

Smelled really bad in the hotel and rooms. Shower head was broken and sprayed unevenly. Shower doors were dirty. Other than check in, there was never anyone at the front desk. You had to call a number in order to get customer service. Paid over $200 a night and was not remotely worth it. Nope.
