Pros - indoor and outdoor pool. Pool bar. Restaurant on property. Quick response from maintenance. Kitchenette convenient. Cons - lack of outlets in rooms. Gym is small with old rusty equipment. Game room has broken machines. Cleaning crew not consistent. Our floor was probably never mopped over the four days we stayed at the property.

The hotel is very clean. We wish they gave a lounge chair per person, not 2 per room. There were four of us and for the rate we were charged per night it’s a lot to charge another $20 each for a chair. Otherwise staff was great. We had Christine had checkin & she was lovely. Hotel is centrally located from many hot spots without being too close so it’s still quiet. Would definitely stay here again.

Great room, and location. Clean and friendly staff. Did not like that after spending over 2K for entire trip that we were not made priority to be seated in restaurant. Were told to wait an hour or sit by bar while the public was seated so we went elsewhere each meal. Staff taking orders for food by pool were super nice and efficient with a line of requests always.

The pictures are quite deceiving. The hotel is concrete with concrete grounds - a la jail cell. The size of the rooms are incredibly small. A person defecated in the outdoor pool and it was scooped out and everyone continued swimming. Pretty certain pools need to be emptied when that happens but we stayed in the indoor pool from that point on. This hotel was way too expensive for what it actually is. Every time we opened the room door, 4-5 flies would fly in; there is clearly a bug problem that could easily be fixed. Finally, in the restaurant on premises we tried to order over the phone for pick up but the woman taking the order did not understand the word “steak” after numerous attempts that my husband had to walk over and order directly with a manager. Overall, Cape May is a beautiful town with plenty of better options than this overpriced, underwhelming hotel.

We booked a room with a limited view and our view was the roof. There was no view at all. Our balcony was a closed off room. Our room was right next to the elevator and it was very noisy. We asked for a different room but there were none available.

Highlights were nice, large indoor and outdoor pools, with a 1-ft kiddie pool section and plenty of seating, and a daily kid-friendly activity, like sand art and balloon animals. The main collection of shops and food choices ranged from a 10-25 minute walk or a short drive. Strolling along the beach every morning for an hour was pleasant. Negatives were the floor in our hotel room got very sandy (even sandy when we first arrived), most of the tv channels did not work, there was no AC in the arcade area, and the walkway outside our room was often blocked by the maid service, making it difficult to navigate with a stroller or luggage.

Hotel is not so close to Washington street, more quite. 15 minute walk, but you can also drive closer to where you want to go. Ideal for people who do not want to stay at a B&B and prefer a hotel feel.

The hotel stay was fine. We were disappointed with the size of the room for how much we were paying per night. But the hotel had a great location and awesome activities for the kids. The pool was great but be warned: the blue paint on the sides and bottom of the pool will rub off onto your skin and swim suit and it does not wash out.
