I have stayed at a few different hotels in Cape May over the years. I liked the Grand Hotel the best so far for a few reasons. The rooms were updated and clean--and nice a cool temp-wise. The Staff was helpful and pleasant--all that I had contact with. I had a great view of the ocean--a quick walk across the street to the beach (towels, 2 lounge chairs, and umbrella were included with our room). Several good restaurants/bars in walking distance. Cost of the room was reasonable for the location, amenities, etc. Other guests were friendly and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Pool was decent size and was in full use.

This is a large hotel on Beach Ave. Pool and restaurant on site. Room was comfortable and clean with good climate control and a small balcony with an angled ocean view. Ample parking on site, a big plus in Cape May. Breakfast in the Hemingway Restaurant was excellent. I needed a room overnight, and I chose this hotel bc it’s within walking distance of the Cape May Convention Center and a room was available on short notice. The hotel lacks charm and character, but is a very good accommodation overall.

The staff that check you in are all so helpful. They explain things thoroughly. I love that they offer chairs, towel and umbrella and have people that can help you set that up. I didn't take advantage but they offer the use of their bikes. That is a real plus for those that want to go a little further from the hotel or for a little exercise. The location is perfect - right on Beach Ave. where the boardwalk is and the beach is right across the street. The only reason I gave a four is the noise level at night. Not sure but I think it was people still at the pool or people were just out. Wish they have some kind of policy.

property was very clean. Nice gift shop and other amenities. The main thing that we didn't like was the parking. Very hard to find a spot and really tight squeeze. I just don't understand why a room number can't have it's own parking spot assigned. It's not just this hotel. It's a pet peeve when it happens. The room smelled divine and was very comfortable. It was raining so we didn't get to use the pool but it looked like fun. Close enough to walk to Harry's which was great because I never would have made it into a parking spot after having so much fun there!
