The location is great. Plenty of access to food, shops, beach, and entertainment. The staff was friendly and hospitable. The Ocean7 restaurant has great food and bartenders have great personalities. The views from the various porches allow you to take in the scenery.

Room was very sparse, no coffee maker, only one picture on wall, no end tables, ocean view room, but could not pull up blinds to see the ocean. Breakfast was good but they touted fresh-baked cinnamon rolls but there were none. Parking was convenient and free. Building was beautifully restored.

Hotel was clean and charming. Noise from other guests carried from the hall, and we woke to heavy equipment or landscaping noise. Short walk to beach was nice, as was the breakfast.

The hotel looks amazing from the outside while inside looks cozy and amazing. It's vintage and beautiful. There space to sit inside and enjoy a fireplace or outside and enjoy the view. Close to the shore and the surrounding area is BEAUTIFUL! Room was clean and comfortable. We had the omelet with goat cheese and it was delicious. Definitely 100% coming back!!!

The inn reminds me of a converted brownstone. The room we stayed in was okay. It had a lot of light, large bed, normal bathroom. But it didn’t have a full length mirror even though it had plenty of wall space for that. It also looked like the walls were painted over multiple times- like a ny city apartment. I enjoyed the inn, it had a restaurant with live music and a mini convenient store that was always open by the front desk. The location is central to the beach and the Washington street mall. I just think the price is expensive for what you are getting- but it’s what all the hotels are charging- so they are in the range. Staff was extremely helpful and nice. One of the hostesses we wound up seeing the next day working in the fudge shop. Quaint town.

The Inn at Cape May was a good place to stay for a wedding event in Cape May. The room itself was underwhelming, old and somewhat dilapidated. MUCH smaller and run-down than depicted on their website. Actually, I was shocked by the difference in the advertising versus the reality. Service and cleanliness were excellent. Price was well above anything I would have paid knowing the conditions of the property. There were many other options and I should have done a better job researching.

We were very disappointed in our room. It had a bed, small crappy dresser, side tables next to the bed that were the size of cup saucers that barely fit your cell phone, 2 chairs that was old and uncomfortable, the bathroom sink drained VERY slow and we supposedly had a ocean view which the view was mostly roof tops and ocean was way in the distance. We paid good money for this room; definitely not what we expected. We noticed the other rooms next to us had nicer chairs or a small love sofa and better side tables. We asked those occupants how much their 2 person room cost and it was the same as ours. We booked in advance and were there to check in when scheduled to (actually 30 min. Earlier). We told the front desk and all they had to say was: “sorry about that”!
