Check in was easy, was also able to have a late check out for $25 extra. Only 3/4 blocks from beach. Was able to accommodate my grandmother, my toddler and myself. Beds were comfy and water pressure for shower was excellent. Pool was very relaxing as well.
Will stay here again!

Check in lady was super nice. Housekeeper made us take them our dirty laundry and everything. Made us feel rushed out of our room for check out even though we had an hour until check out. Room had broken ceiling tiles, beds were awful and metal pieces sticking out from beds. There was mold in the shower. Overall just an okay place to stay if you don’t plan on staying in the room all day.

Blue Wave Inn is an affordable and convenient hotel close to the boardwalk. However, the room was missing some amenities, such as handsoap, extra towels, wash cloths, adequit pillows and blankets.

The door knobs where falling off in the bathroom and the front door. No plug for the tub and no place in the bathroom to blow dry your hair
