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.

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.

The staff was friendly and helpful. My best friend and I are locals who moved away so it was a little strange to stay in a place I used to work in (Pelican Club). We came to town for a baby shower and had everything we needed. The vanity space being outside of the shower / bathroom space was super helpful for getting ready. We would definitely stay again and look forward to a warm weather visit because the pool area looked fun.

Great location. However, on checkin, the room we were given had issues with the room door lock, the door to the balcony could not be locked or closed completely. It was windy so the air was whistling around the balcony door. They willingly gave us an upgrade which was appreciated.
