We have stayed here before and you cannot beat the location, a short walk to the boardwalk. Wonderful for walking the boards and then getting back to the room to relax after all the great sea air. Last time we stayed the front desk team was super friendly. This time we got courteous service in and out, which is appreciated, but not super friendly. The toilet seat was not properly affixed and the shower did not drain, which I found unsanitary.

The Waves has become my favorite place to stay in Wildwood. The staff is amazing and very welcoming. The property is beautiful. It’s a home away from home! Will definitely be back next year.

Great for one night

The room was great but we stayed two nights and had to ask for more towels because the room never got serviced after the first night. The room was very clean and comfortable. Walking distance from the boardwalk.

Mom and Daughter summer beach trip

I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel. It was modern and updated unlike a lot of the hotels in AC. It was clean and the desk staff was really nice. In addition it is close to the boardwalk which is great. I would stay again.

The room was very clean, the beds were super comfortable. Air conditioning worked very well. No problems with the TV. The gentlemen that checked us in and out were both very courteous. The young lady behind the desk however, was surly, unfriendly, and not welcoming. There was no place to hang clothes in the room, and the refrigerator was not working right. The only way to make drinks cold was to jam them into the small freezer portion. The pool was tiny, and the neighboring motel very close. Parking was very limited and cramped. Fortunately we were given a street parking pass by the man that checked us in, though we were afraid to leave for fear of losing our spot. There were huge bins of dirty linens which remained outside of our window when we looked out, which was pretty gross. Our room had no balcony or deck. Not sure if any of the rooms there did. Wi-Fi worked fine.

Place was very clean and room was nice. Kylie at front office was very helpful but night person cut off my phone call. Very disappointed in that action! Good location but free parking should be the default. Ice should be available on each floor. More information should be available for choosing restaurants at various price points. Bed was comfortable.

I would not recommend staying at the waves hotel. I’ve been going to wildwood since I was a kid (40+ years) & I understand what you normally get with a wildwood motel/hotel. However, this place was pretty bad. We had a hole in our 3rd floor ceiling with the sheet rock pieces still in the floor. Our light next to the bed was broken off the wall. The bed sheets even had a body odor smell to them. The worst part was the parking. They want you to leave your keys with them because there aren’t enough spaces & your car gets blocked in. I think they are renting out spaces or using them for personal use, because the lot looks overcrowded for the hotel size. Every night that we came back from dinner was an adventure to park at the hotel. If you ask the front desk, they would direct you to a shady spot to park. We needed a last second hotel & the location was convenient - directly off the 3rd pier where the Great White roller coaster is. The only other perk is that they have complimentary water bottles. I learned my lesson & will try our luck elsewhere next time. Wildwood Crest is much nicer to stay.
