I hate to give this hotel a great review because then I'll never be able to get in! I love it here. The location is ideal. The staff couldn't be nicer. And it's just a great place to stay. I wish hotel rooms had more hooks, though.

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was great! You could lie in bed and read, raising your eyes to wander over the ocean whenever you liked! The early April weather was a bit brisk, but we still enjoyed the balcony. The motel is in the center of town, with the beach literally across the street and the Washington Street stores just a couple of blocks away.

We stayed 2 nights while attending a graduation at the USCG training center. The staff are amazing. I went to them with numerous requests and questions and they were extremely friendly and accommodating. I didn’t even realize they offered a continental breakfast which was a blessing. There are tons of shops and restaurants within walking distance. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable.

Parking was available on site. Room was spacious and clean. Within walking distance of the Washington street mall and dining. Beach immediately actoss the street and ocean views are lovely. Private balconies are private to the room, but immediately connected to the next balcony, so not necessarily "private".

We came to Cape May for my son‘s graduation from Coast Guard basic training. The staff is extremely courteous, kind, and attentive. The hotel is beautiful and directly across the street from the ocean with a boardwalk down to the beach. We had our own private balcony overlooking the beach.We went in April so we did not use the pool, but it’s available in the warmer months. They have a complementary breakfast with coffee. It’s within walking distance of shops and restaurants. This town is very special and absolutely beautiful. They had gorgeous trees blooming all over town. We will definitely be staying here again if we return to Cape May.
