Our room was clean and ready early. We loved the double bunks for our kids. The hotel is in a great spot-we could walk everywhere we wanted to go. The beach chair and umbrella service was great too.

Great place close to everything
Service was amazing. They text you the day of your reservation and offer free beach tags and beach service (chairs, umbrella setup, etc) before check -in. Our room was also ready a little before check -in. Room was clean and spacious. Doors were a bit sticky but I think this is common in beach homes/hotels. Pool was clean. Grounds were beautifully kept. I would easily stay again.

We have stayed at a few properties in Cape May and this one is by far our favorite. Easy check in, friendly staff, convenient restaurant and close to shopping. The room was also beautiful and clean. Can’t wait to come back!
