Easy to check in late at night, beds are very comfy unlike at some 4-5 star hotels I’ve been at. Breath taking view of the lake as soon as you head to the lobby in the morning. Didn’t try the food but will be sure to next visit.

Staff was amazing. Negatives are amenities: bathroom sink ridiculously small and no other mirror to apply makeup etc., and can’t use toilet seat for space as there’s no lid, no coffeemaker, no guide for TV, 2 drinks at the outdoor bar came to $50 with tip, very nice upscale property. I would expect better

I loved this place! It was a great stay, I am not a fan of boutique hotels, but this was a pleasant surprise. It was spotless, comfortable, great restaurant, nice staff, very dedicated personnel. I hope this place maintains the same vibe and atmosphere for a long time.

Summer Trip

Beds and carpet in the room felt very damp. There was a big brown stain on the comforter that housekeeping had to have seen. The bath towels also had stains. There were hairs in the shower. The room had a strong smell of fish. We ate at the hotel restaurant. We ordered our food around 7:45 and didnt get it until almost 9pm. We only ordered two salads and chicken fingers. Would not recommend staying here. We left a day early and booked a different hotel.

Brand new clean and well located property near the Marblehead Lighthouse. Expensive for basically a roadside modern motel. Beds are platform beds low to the ground and seating likewise very low to the ground and uncomfortable. Bar/dining closed during my stay. No coffee maker or microwave in room.

Nice place but trying to check in was a nightmare. We booked 3 rooms and only one was self-check in but was then given to another guest. After our experience I will not book another stay.

Read the Details Before You Book

My husband and I chose to stay at the Wave to celebrate our 25th Anniversary. It is a beautifully renovated hotel in a perfect location and a wonderful staff. With that being said, there were a few details I wish I'd noticed before we booked. First, the restaurant and bar are not open on Monday and Tuesday. It was an extremely hot couple day stay, so we would have liked to order refreshments, especially as we sat around the pool, taking advantageof the extra "$50 resort fee". The manager stated that the restaurant will be open more days in July as the lake season picks up. Also, there isn't a coffee maker in the room. Since the hotel doesn't have continental breakfast, I wished I had this staple convenience. Also, it seemed like the hotel staff struggled to keep up with a busy weekend turnover. The manager apologized and accommodated us with eagerness and grace when our room was not ready at check-in time.
