Place was perfect for our weekend getaway. Clean, convenient located by ocean, aquarium and wharf and so much more. There are fire pits at the property and tons of restaurants. Staff was helpful. No complaints here. I would stay again!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms are nice, but it’s worthless to stay in a nice room where you can’t sleep due to the extremely noisy environment of whoever is staying above you and next to you. The walls and floors are super thin and just there to keep you from seeing your neighbors but certainly useless when it comes to hearing every conversation and angle of movement from your neighbors, I didn’t get any sleep at all. The hotel is Very Overpriced, there’s an extra charge for parking ($17), and if you have issues there is limited support from staff if that even counts. Don’t stay here, choose someplace else. The high ratings this hotel has are a scam.

It was very close to shopping and aquarium. I felt safe there and there was a parking lot. You have to pay for it but it was worth it.

The location is great - within walking distance to just about everything. The inside of the property is dated and needs a face lift. Room was clean and bed was comfortable.

The Wave Street Inn is ideally located a few walkable blocks from Cannery Row, the Monterey Bay waterfront, the aquarium, and more. Its rooms are well maintained and clean, with comfortable beds and linens. Covered parking is available at ground level for an additional charge.

Just a 2 day getaway... Like they say... location, location, location.The hotel is fine... The lady that checked us in was nice and helpful. The hoteCould use a deep cleaning...

The property is one street from Cannery Row. The staff was very friendly. Overall the property was clean and presented accurately. We could not hear our neighbors on either side of us, but you could hear people walking on the floor above.
