First visit (23/3) dirty room, paint falling of moulded bathroom walls. Second visit (26-28/3)booked 3 months in advanced and confirmed 24/3. But when arrived no room because of overbooking. Staff at Wave hotel lied about rates at offered exchange hotell. Extremely unhelpful

We've stayed at the Wave several times over the past three years. It's a redone Art Deco hotel which means it's space-limited, boutique-ish and updated. The theme is eclectic modern and the lobby and rooms ""fit"". It's NOT the chain hotel some reviewers apparently expect. It IS comfortable, clean, convenient and cool, however.

The Hotel Wave was very disappointing, so that we decided to leave after the first night. We had arranged to be married in Miami and were excited after seeing the wonderful pictures of the hotel on the web page. But sadly this was not to be, the room which we had booked and which we had been charged for in advance was not a double Kingsize superior, more a small dirty shambles with a long list of complaints e.g. aircon defect (room was freezing), bathroom moldy and hairdryer was broken and hanging off the wall, large hole in carpet, bedding inadequate, no wardrobe for clothing, breakfast(if you were lucky!) etc, etc. In all a crap hotel the worst place we have ever stayed.

Hotel lobby is lovely & staff very helpful. Beds large, but leave little walking space in small rooms. AC didn't work in our 1st room so we had to be moved. Noisy. Construction right across the street & partiers in the next room. The walls & doors are PAPER thin. Don't expect to get much sleep if you go during party season. If you ARE the partiers & weren't planning on much sleep anyway this is your spot. On the edge of the main strip & right on the beach. All in all we had a GREAT time. We didn't go to Miami to spend it indoors.

when I arrived at the wave, nothing surprised me from the pictures that I saw. It was in a perfect location within the vicinity of everything that you need to do on south beach. my room was very clean especially the bathroom. the help desk was very helpful. we know its not a five star hotel but you get your money's worth. its not for a romantic getaway. if you went to south beach to party and hang out with your friends then the wave hotel is definetely for you. especially the outside patio area, we met so many nice people just by sitting outside.

All of the other posters are spot on. This place is abyssmal. The heat/ac doesn't work and when you call about it there is NEVER anyone who knows how to fix it. So prepare to be too hot to sleep. Satellite TV went down every hour. This place is pretty awful. It's a * a night hotel priced at *. no parking. Maybe all the hotels on this street are the same. I don't know. My experience in Miami Beach was pretty bad. The exercise room is laughable.

Maybe I stayed at the Wave at a good time looking at ohters reviews. The staff was more than accomodating thne I would have expected. Andrea( front desk I hope I remmeberd the name right) was a jewel. Anything I asked for she helped or got for me. I'll be back for Labor Day and I'll be at the Wave.
