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.

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.

Would stay here again.
Not a Hilton Hotel but it was decent enough for our needs. Soft towels, good a/c, comfortable beds, polite staff, and room make-up daily or at your request.

GREAT STAY
This was the second vacation staying at this hotel. Room was clean, lobby was clean. Workers and front desk were very nice. Didnt have a problem the first time staying here, for this second time someone had parked behind me and they didnt drop the keys at the front desk but the manager i asume quickly went to find whose vehicle it was and located the owner so we were able to make our trip home. Mistakes happen so i dont hold them at fault, it was quickly resolved. I will be staying at this hotel again in the future, will be my go to. Also its close to the boardwalk and good lovation

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.

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
