Загалом досить добре
Pros:

Помешкання досить хороше. Зручне розташування! Привітний персонал! В номерах досить чисто. Приємно здивував кавовий апарат.

Cons:

Мінус який я можу зауважити, це відсутність пральної і сушильної машини . Так як номера без балкону, то одяг немає можливості десь висушити. У ванній кімнаті він не встигав висохнути до ранку. Також немає можливості відкрити вікно, щоб провітрити кімнату, просто суцільний склопакет.

Won’t come back
Cons:

The sink is too high and inconvenient to use. The check-in time is too late. The sheet had sand on it, which was very unpleasant. The facility was generally too dirty, especially the public bathroom on the first floor. The front desk staff were also not very welcoming. Overall, the cleanliness and customer service need significant improvement.

Un motel qui répondait à notre besoin et un personnel très agréable et serviable
Pros:

L’accueil, la gentillesse du staff ainsi que sa localisation.
Il y a largement de quoi se garer gratuitement autour s’il n’y avait plus de places dans l’établissement.

Cons:

Il serait bien d’aspirer sous les lits aussi… même si l’hôtel et le reste de la chambre est très propre

Great Location and Enjoyable Stay!
Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at Waves Hotel in Wildwood! The staff was absolutely amazing and went out of their way to make us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

The hotel was very clean, which is always a huge plus, and the room was exactly what we needed. It was cool, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing after a long day at the beach.

If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay with exceptional customer service, I definitely recommend Waves Hotel. We can’t wait to come back!

The front desk staff were the highlight and star of the show here. The accommodations were nothing exciting, but certai
Pros:

I loved how close this location was to the beach too super short blocks and you had beach and Boardwalk access direct. Parking on site is always incredibly convenient as well.

Cons:

There were some features to the room that I would’ve liked to see considered considering it is a beach town. I would’ve loved to see more options for hanging or drying items. The air conditioner on the third floor left a little bit to be desired as well. It wasn’t very powerful and cooling.

Horrible experience, will never book there again! 2 star hotel should have told me better!
Pros:

No adequate parking

Cons:

Staff was dismissive after my reservation got canceled. They never attempted to assist in finding another hotel after my family came from a 3hr drive from NY. We drove to Atlanta City for the weekend instead.
