The Waves Hotel, an Ascend Collection Hotel

So thankful to have gotten to stay here! My husband and I came to Cape May for the first time on our anniversary! We appreciated that the room was clean, modern, the heater/air con worked efficiently, and the TV had cable! Would definitely stay here again!

I had an amazing stay at this charming motel just steps from the beach and boardwalk! The location is absolutely unbeatable—wake up and stroll to the sand or enjoy the vibrant boardwalk with food, shops, and entertainment just around the corner. The room was spotless, cozy, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I especially appreciated the friendly and welcoming staff who went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience. Parking was convenient, and I felt safe and relaxed the entire time. Whether you’re looking for a weekend escape or a longer beach vacation, this motel is a hidden gem. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Third time staying here. Staff was very nice. The first day there all four of us got locked INTO our room! The door was unlocked but the inside handle would not engage the lock. We went to room phone to call desk but the phone did not work so we called from our cell phone. They came up right away and got us out and it didn't happen again! Pool was very clean and warm. I do understand thst they need to hold car keys or guests due to parking situation but we had to wait about 10 minutes as no one was there. There was a phone number to call for assistance. She came and gave us our keys but the we had to wait about another 10 minutes to wait for staff to move the car in front of us. Thankfully we were not in an extreme hurry. Beds were super low to the ground which they haven't been the last two times. No blankets just a sheet and a very thin blanket. The fire panel was in trouble mode beeping for over 24 hours in the lobby. No one ever cleaned our room. I had to go down and ask for more towels and toliet paper. We stayed for 3 and a half days. Little mishaps this time but we will be back again next year for firemans convention!

Very beautiful rooms, will kept. Just right size beautiful bathroom. Perfect location. But God has to stop making the beach so long. Right in the good spot of t the boardwalk. Hotel offers muffins for breakfast and coffee and tea all day. Pool is a smaller but very well kept. We will return for sure!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a week. Location is perfect for the beach and boardwalk, and within reasonable walking distance for a lot of restaurants. Staff is friendly and helpful—I called a week before to inquire the amenities and the gentleman on the phone was very pleasant! Room was also clean and secure. However, there was clearly some maintenance work going on the week of our stay that wasn't disclosed. My boyfriend and I were woken up most mornings before 8 am from either electric tools or stomping on the floor above us. We could hear stomping all hours of the day/night, whether it was 2 in the morning or 2 in the afternoon. It didn't ruin our stay, but I would've appreciated a heads up so we could bring earplugs. The curtains on the shower also weren't long enough to block the water from soaking the bathroom floor. We're assuming something happened to the door (like what's shown on the website) because we could see evidence one used to be installed. However, the front desk gave us extra towels, which we used as floor mats and that caught most of the water Parking was also not ideal. Their main parking lot is strictly valet. Thankfully we were given the option of street parking, which made our trips out of town much easier. Overall, not a bad place for the price. Location and cleanliness outweigh the cons, in my opinion. I would definitely consider staying here again. I think more transparency would be a great benefit to both the staff and guests.

Although there was nobody there to receive us at the front desk, I just had to call and I was told to pick up our room key cards from the mailbox outside. We found them and took the elevator and moved into our room which was very nice. After about ten minutes someone arrived to chekc us in officially and told us we were one of two guest parties that were going to be spending Christmas Eve at the hotel. We also checked out in the morning by ourselves and it appears that all was well. To be clear the whole town was pretty much abandoned for the holidays. I guess this new AI-run world is ok after all...

We spent Memorial Day Weekend at WAVES and it didn't disappoint. The rooms were modern with flat screen televisions. They had continental breakfast daily, a sizeable outdoor pool and great customer service especially Kylie at the front desk.. The location is 700 feet from the boardwalk. We will definitely return!!

This location was the PERFECT base for my recent beach trip. It's a very easy walk to and from the boardwalk, two short blocks, and the exact experience I was hoping to find. The staff here also were fantastic and helped to make this trip a smooth and enjoyable experience; Kylie at the front desk was especially so kind and lovely, I appreciated my interactions with her very much. The room itself was a very typical comfort suites room, simple and comfortable. I would absolutely stay here again whenever I get another chance to return to Wildwood.
