Top The Wave Waterpark Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 Oceanside, CA

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was great!"

Sunrise Luxurious Master Room/Own Bath/Separated Entry/Vista

10/10 Excellent

"The property fit my needs perfectly. Single traveler just needing a quiet place to rest before and after a golf weekend with friends. The views were a pleasant bonus. Comms with the host were quick and easy. Note that the entry can be tight for larger SUVs or similar but there is an option if needed. Bed was comfortable and firm. There's no kitchen, but the hotel style fridge and microwave were more than adequate for my needs. The road to the property is a one lane road so drive with caution and be respectful to their neighbors. Would definitely stay there again if my travels take me back to the Escondido area."

"This property is fabulous. The only thing we would like to be different is a bit more in the way of kitchen pots, as we cooked our meals. A good number of pans, but we needed a couple more pots. We would definitely love to come back to this location! The owner, Dylan, is a gem to work with - thank you!"

Luxe Vista Getaway w/ Private Pool & Hot Tub!

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay here and had plenty of room for our family (10 adults and 6 children). We enjoyed going to the beach each day and having a nice place to come and relax afterward. Communication with the host was great and prompt via text or phone! The host was kind and helpful. We didn't use the pool much because it was on the colder side. We did enjoy the spa however. The host heated the spa remotely when we requested it. The home was stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen as well as the bathrooms. Would highly recommend this location!"
