The perfect place to book for a quick weekend away, close by to all that Cape May has to offer. Can’t beat an oceanfront view either, and the outdoor bar/speakeasy are great to have there for late night.

Pool and hot tub were a lovely way to cool off and relax sore muscles from a day of beaching and shopping. Proximity to Washington Square, onsite parking (though the lot fills quickly), spacious rooms/suite with balcony, and the delicious on site breakfast in the bar were all super convenient and comfortable, making for a relaxing time away. The staff was friendly and very accommodating and made us feel right at home away from home!

Beautiful beach view from our balcony. Room was comfortable & updated. Great location across from the beach and by restaurants, shops & perfect for a walk along the boardwalk-sidewalk by the beach. Restaurant was good as well as the outdoor bar with music.

The location of this hotel is spectacular! It is directly across from the beach and just a few blocks from the center of town. They provide free parking and beach passes as well. The hotel room was ok. The ceiling tiles were very broken in the bathroom. Our room was also directly across from very loud machines. I believe all of the rooms are ocean facing which is nice. We had a nice balcony too. Overall, based on location alone I would stay here again!

One of the best locations in Cape May, on the beach. You can easily walk to shopping and restaurants. The property is showing age, but is clean. Plenty of parking is a major benefit in the city.
