I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms are lovely and very clean, the location is right next to town making it super convenient, but the harsh piped-in music was a bit of a downside. The dining experience was great, though a bit slow, and the service was top-notch. Overall, a wonderful experience and great value for money.

The hotel is at the most perfect spot in Cape May, right in the midst of the pedestrian walk in downtown Cape May and with a view of tree, carousel, and ocean.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were decent, and the location was excellent, right in the heart of downtown Cape May. The highlight was the bar in the lobby, offering a nice cozy atmosphere. However, being situated over a nightclub was a bit noisy at night.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location was perfect near shops and the beach, the noise from the town disturbed me on late weekend evenings. The room was not fully clean upon arrival and wasn't ready at the 3:00 check-in time. Despite these issues, the service was solid and the staff, especially Frank, was super friendly and eager to assist. The dining was good but a bit slow, and I faced some challenges with getting reservations. The pricing seemed fair, and the atmosphere was warm and cozy due to the fireplace and Christmas tree.

The dining experience was pretty good, but it took about an hour to get our food. Reservations were mixed up, which was frustrating.
