Wave Resort | Resort in Long Branch, New Jersey

“We paid $1,500 for one night. It is a resort, so we expected activities, food, entertainment and things that we didn't know what to expect. Yet, Nothing! No food at all! Actually they told us that we should look for nice places to eat. When we checked in, we asked about entertainment, and they said that we should try to buy tickets online to buy. When we said that it was sold out, they were not surprised. The location is good and the room is very impressive but if I knew what I know now, I wouldn't have paid $300. We are never coming back to this hotel. The also charge $65 parking!”

“Had a great stay overall! Hotel is right by the water, with a reserved beach area for Wave guests with chairs and an umbrella. Beach was really nice and felt safe for kids with lifeguard on staff. Hotel has a nice pool, restaurant and is right on the pier where there is a little park, live music sometimes and lots of restaurants and shops. overall the hotel was really nice and the location can’t be beat!”

“I did think that one the food and drinks at the wave pool were extremely overpriced and the food was terrible I spent over $100 on two people who just ordered their meal and three drinks total one being a soda. To me that was ridiculous when the quality wasn’t there and they were extremely understaffed the days we went. We were excited to get bagels but no one was there to serve in the morning. Also think $65 a night for parking was ridiculous too and it wasn’t even a protected lot with coverage or anything so that was also a rip off. Everything else was very nice though.”

“The music at the bar and pool has to be changed. Playing house music during the middle of the day for people older than 30 is like scratching a blackboard. The reason why nobody is ever at the bar is because you have no clue!!! You let kids run the place....How about making the Bar the bar at the Plaza Hotel in 1957.. Play that music with the vibes of the era you will attract people 40-80 who spend money!!!!! The gym is a joke and the water pressure needs to improve..Better towels as well. People are nice..but they need adult supervision..”

“The king ocean view room with a balcony was definitely the highlight of our stay. It was spacious, modern, well-appointed, and the beachfront location is hard to beat. Waking up to the ocean view was wonderful. Unfortunately, the positives didn’t justify the price. The hotel is grossly overpriced for what it offers. One major disappointment was the lack of transparency about the $65 per day parking fee, which was never clearly disclosed beforehand. The amenities also fell short. The fitness center is tiny—about the size of a walk-in closet—and doesn’t match what you’d expect from a hotel at this price point. The biggest issue was the room temperature. Despite calling the front desk twice, the air conditioning would not cool the room below 71°F, which made it uncomfortable for sleeping. The staff did bring up a fan, which I appreciated, but it wasn’t a real solution to the problem. Overall, while the rooms and beachfront location are very nice, the combination of excessive pricing, hidden parking costs, limited amenities, and unresolved climate control issues made this a disappointing value.”

“BERNADETTE WAS AMAZING!!! This lady deserves a raise lol She truly was wonderful and so helpful. and best personality!!”

“This hotel is a great place to stay if you like the Jersey shore. Our dog loves it as well.”

“Wi fi was terrible not consistent. Not enough pool lounge chairs . Had to keep your chair occupied at all times if you left for 15 minutes to go to the room or get food the staff removed your towels. Started renting out lounge pool chairs to non guests to make money therefore were not enough chairs for registered hotel guests. parking $69 per day was not included in room rates and it was a gravel Dusty lot across the street . Not fair . Not going back .”

“Nice vibe, clean rooms. One complaint: walking into the hallway, a musty smell hit my nose instead of the pleasant scent I’ve come to expect in hotel public walkways. Just 2 or 3 Scentify plug in’s would have upgraded to vacation vibe for 10!”

“Staff was not friendly. Especially the front desk check in. They didn’t give us any info about the hotel. Just the key. I would not come back here.”
