Wave Hotel Manhattan Beach

It's great place

It was a perfect location. I appreciated the cleanliness of the property. The reception employees were helpful.

Check in / Check out was fine, nice folks. Parking garage doesn’t seem monitored and there were a couple of unhoused folks in cars overnight. Sheets were old and tired; linens and towels were stained. Bed frames were sheet metal and loud when you inevitably banged a foot on it. Otherwise fine as far as a quick stay goes.

Front desk closed by 10. Renting room next door to whole Family screaming all night and no one to handle it. Terrible experience

room is very spaceous and clean. There was no hairdryer inside (missing from wall bracket) but they were able to get me one when I found that missing around mid-night. Breakfast was basic but acceptable.

Stayed 2 nights. I might as well not have bothered sleeping. Between the cleaning staff yelling at each other and throwing and dropping things loudly and my “quiet” room was next door to the cleaning people’s closet. I asked for a QUIET room. I overpaid for the room for each night. The walls between the rooms are paper thin. It’s a good thing people didn’t use the rooms for romantic getaways, unless you’re an exhibitionist, expect your business between the sheets to be broadcasted widely across the hotel property. The doors kept opening and closing and slamming and opening and closing. Then every noise I made when shifting resulted in everyone else shifting. When a knock happened on the shared wall, the other side thought it was me and knocked back. I was 8 feet from the wall, but I guess they can’t see and not take it personally. There was curly hair on towels from last set of guests. Thankful my mom taught me to not be too nit picky. The highlight? The front office staff. They made everything smooth and easy like a 5 star hotel; too bad my experience after the front counter was downhill from there. So hotel staff, get yourselves promoted to other places! Y’all rock. Everything else? Welp…

The room was infested with ants. It was horrible we woke up to them crawling all over the bed, floor, and counters it was very unpleasant. Thankfully they moved us rooms fairly quickly the customer service was great. But this should be addressed.
