Great location, safe, staff was friendly and continental breakfast had good choices. We stayed in the family suite which was nice, I just wish there was a bathtub in one of the bathrooms. We would stay here again.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The room had gnats and fruit flies.The shower didn't drain well and had standing water in it. The toilet ran all the time.There were no towels in the room when we arrived. The next day our coffee wasn't replaced, the bed wasn't made... they only emptied the attendant. It was bad.
Room was very clean. Front desk staff were friendly and professional. Room decor was plain/spartan. The bed made strange creaking noises but was comfortable. WiFi was adequate. Free continental breakfast was light on the protein options.
The room was filthy and smelled like feces with a strong cleaning chemical solution. It smelled so bad I could not sleep all night. The floors were sticky and slippery, I almost fell a few times. The bed was so old every time I got on it, it made a loud noise and I was afraid the springs would poke me. The breakfast was horrible, literally nothing. This was one of the worst hotels I’ve ever been in considering the price I paid. And I don’t usually ever leave a review. But I had to on this one. If I could, I would ask for a refund. Absolutely disgusting. Even a couple I met in the elevator complained and agreed with all of the above.
My stay at the Wave was awesome! My room looked to be recently refurbished. Looked brand new and was spotless.
Kevin and the staff were were very courteous and made you feel at home. Would stay there again for sure!
Not too impressed, my room was in a dark corner, no windows. I was excited to be close to the beach but would never know it, could not see a thing. Bright lights all night. Noisy.
