Top Cape May Hotel Reviews
The Inn of Cape May
"We have been coming to the inn of Cape may for years!. We love this place and Cape may. The new owners have really done a great job with all the changes while still maintaining the old time feel. Staff has been expanded, which was necessary and everyone was friendly and attentive!"
The Dormer House
"Enjoyed our stay very much. These old Victorian houses are wonderful. The breakfast is amazing"
Angel of the Sea
"The Inn is lovely and the staff is wonderful. The breakfasts were very filling with lots of great choices and the teatime and wine and cheese in the afternoon were lovely. The property could use some upgrading. The bathroom ceiling tiles were moldy and need to be replaced and outside of the guest room were trunks filled with cleaning supplies which should have been stowed way more discreetly. Itโs an old house so the upkeep is considerable, but for the room rate, the place could use a little love."
Avondale by the Sea Motel
"I've stayed here several times. They've done a lot of updates, so everything looks like new. We had some firm pillows that made our sleeping hard but asked if they had soft ones and they brought them right to us. The rest of the stay was so much better. Their continental breakfast used to rotate english muffins, bread for toast and bagels but sadly the 5 days we were there it was just bagels. It would be nicer for long term customers to rotate choices. I'll definitely stay there again. Love the view and location to shops and night strolls in the neighborhood."
Congress Hall
"."
Ocean Club Hotel
"The Ocean Club was a great, last-minute choice for my husband and I for a getaway weekend. The location is facing the beach, where beach chairs and umbrellas await, and a reasonable walk to the shopping street. All staff members were friendly and accommodating and the DJ at the pool kept up a great Playlist. Having said that, this is not a 5 star property (or restaurant) although the price for this weekend would suggest it. Just saying."
