hotel review: the wave hotel, clarenville, newfoundland

we stayed at the wave on sunday night. j surprised me by booking us a night here in the jacuzzi suite. i am always wanting to take baths lately, but our current bath in our apartment is pretty small and sad. also, it was so cold and snowy this weekend, a night away was welcome.



price: $180 per night for the jacuzzi suite. i think the regular rooms are around $120 per night
bathroom: nothing special.
pool: there is a huge pool. it has no real deep end, and it is open to the public sometimes, so expect a ton of kids around
breakfast: there was a continental breakfast, but we totally slept through it. the breakfast was located in the pool viewing room, which was sort of weird
wifi: yes, perfect
tv: yes, perfect. we watched a marathon of millionaire matchmaker. addictive.
location: really good for clarenville. close to everything.
parking: free
notes:
- the hotel reception was also the reception where you check in for the public gym, the public pool, and tanning. there is no real lobby. kinda weird
- the jacuzzi took forever to fill up. like, after 25 minutes of the water running full blast, there was maybe a cm of water in there. i went to the front desk (slash tanning check in), and asked them about it. they said it was because they ordered the wrong faucet for the jacuzzi. they gave us a free night's stay to use once the faucet is fixed, which i thought was really good customer service. then j solved the problem by filling the jacuzzi with the water from the bathroom tub and a bucket. he sorta saved the day. my favourite thing was watching tv from the jacuzzi. hehe.
- i would stay here again for sure, but it is really basic. there is absolutely nothing fancy about this place
