Our second time staying and this time we booked the lake view room. The sunrise in the morning was breathtaking! We enjoyed our tea across the street by the lake. Hopefully next time we will be able to stay longer!

We enjoyed our stay at the Wave. When we got there, we immediately went to the bar/restaurant for dinner and to sit by the fire pit and listen to the musician playing the guitar and singing. The food was delicious and the location was perfect! The bed was comfy and the shower was relaxing. We would stay again in the future!

Had a great stay, and loved everything about it. Great restaurant in hotel lobby, great view of Lake Erie, and beautiful pool, backyard area. Only thing that was lacking, was a bigger sink in bathroom, and higher bed would have been nice. But would stay again!

What a nice place. It was incredibly quiet. The young and friendly staff member had great recommendations for dining as I stayed on a weeknight when the hotel restaurant was not open. The hotel is a very short walk to the lighthouse. This is a beautiful spot, well worth the detour on my cross country journey.

The Wave was a beautiful property in close proximity to the village of Marblehead. The small boutique hotel had an on grounds bar and restaurant, which is always a must for us. My only complaint was the food at the restaurant. I had a sticky rice appetizer, which had the smallest amount of fish possible and was very disappointing. The next night we ordered a roast beef sandwich. While the amount of meat was generous, the disappointing part was that it was served cold and felt more like a deli style sandwich than a hot cheesy roast beef that I had expected. For a $24 + 2 more dollars for fries I, again, expected more. The hamburger was delicious…so just a few minor adjustments and the property would be perfect.

Excellent Hotel! The pool is small and was very crowded since it was 4th of July weekend. We asked for an upper floor, but did not get one - probably due to the fact that the hotel was completely book. Location is perfect! Great views. Staff was extremely accommodating and kind.

Our stay here last night was amazing from the moment we arrived until we sadly had to leave this morning. In the 6 years my wife and I have traveled to quite a few places this was our favorite! Staff were all friendly and helpful. Shout out to Ashton the 18 young man who seemed to have outside and pool responsibilities. GREAT KID! We had a wonderful conversation at the pool (which was 85 degrees!!!) with this goal driven young man. We wish him well in life. Good soul. We’re already looking for cool places to go near you so we can stay again. Ashton recommended a few. And this is BIG! My wife told me on the way home that this stay made up for all the crappy places I’ve picked lol
