The Inn of Cape May

The location and porch were hard to beat. Exactly what we had hoped for. That ended when you got to the room. Old is one thing. Falling apart is another. Bathroom was tiny no room to put anything. Shower had zero pressure and cold was hot and hot was cold. Air conditioner barely worked and could not open windows. Tv did not work at all even after I told front desk. The cables sticking out from wall tripped me in the middle of the night. Only 1 of 3 ceiling lights worked. Huge cracks in ceiling. Duct cover was hanging off and all electrical wires were exposed. Bed was not comfortable neither were the pillows and housekeeping barely bothered to make it the following day. Outlets were not available to charge anything and only one worked. Hotel charged extra for everything. Did not even offer complimentary coffee in morning. If you ate breakfast there they gave you a coupon, but servers did not return to table to refill coffee cup or ask if you needed anything else. It was not a venue we would ever return to no matter how nice the porch.

Great location and that is what you are paying for. Old building and dated rooms. Porch bar and live entertainment was great, breakfast was pretty good. They make you leave the parking lot and turn in beach passes at 12p on the day of checkout (even though checkin isn't until 4p) which makes staying on the beach very difficult. Front desk staff did not offer any flexibility or alternatives.

There was good and bad. A manger made it right but from the start there was toilet issues in the room that one could fix but when on vacation shouldn’t have too. The rooms were not up to par for the cost with paint and patching issues on the wall. Lastly there was an exposed stable on the head board that led to my wife cutting her arm. Small miss but definitely not ok.

Clean room, attentive staff, close to the beach and to the center of town.

Great location inn was clean and room was comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful wonderful stay would book Inn again.

We ate at the hotel restaurant for lunch and breakfast. Our meals were great! We sat out on the lovely porch which was nice but they need bigger tables for a party of 4, or smaller plates to fit on the tables. When we made the reservation for a suite it showed a suite with a nice view. We ended up with (what they considered a 2 bedroom suite) basically 2 adjoining rooms looking at a wall and the back of the building next door, with a bathroom in one of the rooms. Overall, we enjoyed our trip and would return.

There was no stress parking. The staff was adequate. The room was small and sparse. No coffee maker nor refrigerator. A refrigerator was an extra charge. While I do understand summer pricing is on the high side, I feel that we should have received more amenities for the room cost.

Love it here! Will go back!

Was nice with 2 queen bed and 2 bathrooms! Food was excellent and staff extremely helpful and pleasant.

Bellhop was kind& pretty close by walking to the beach. We definitely won't stay here again.

BUT Very much in need of upkeep.musty mildew smell throughout hotel. Everything you touch feels sticky wet. The banisters, the bar, doors.Shower had no pressure and either you froze or were getting scalded, no happy medium. Bathroom door broken and did not close. 1 bath towel and you can’t call down 4 flights of stairs because there isn’t a phone in the room. The elevator is only operated on request by staff. The pool is nice but at 6pm they close it. It’s a magnificent inn with abundant history but it is pricey and desperately needs care.

Breakfast was good but they touted fresh-baked cinnamon rolls but there were none. Parking was convenient and free. Building was beautifully restored.

The inn reminds me of a converted brownstone. The room we stayed in was okay. It had a lot of light, large bed, normal bathroom. But it didn’t have a full length mirror even though it had plenty of wall space for that. It also looked like the walls were painted over multiple times- like a ny city apartment. I enjoyed the inn, it had a restaurant with live music and a mini convenient store that was always open by the front desk. The location is central to the beach and the Washington street mall. I just think the price is expensive for what you are getting- but it’s what all the hotels are charging- so they are in the range. Staff was extremely helpful and nice. One of the hostesses we wound up seeing the next day working in the fudge shop. Quaint town.

We were very disappointed in our room. It had a bed, small crappy dresser, side tables next to the bed that were the size of cup saucers that barely fit your cell phone, 2 chairs that was old and uncomfortable, the bathroom sink drained VERY slow and we supposedly had a ocean view which the view was mostly roof tops and ocean was way in the distance. We paid good money for this room; definitely not what we expected. We noticed the other rooms next to us had nicer chairs or a small love sofa and better side tables. We asked those occupants how much their 2 person room cost and it was the same as ours. We booked in advance and were there to check in when scheduled to (actually 30 min. Earlier). We told the front desk and all they had to say was: “sorry about that”!

Our room was cleaned every day with fresh luxurious towels. The inn is cozy and could use a little maintenance TLC, but I'm sure it comes in the off season. We will definitely go back!

Location Paid extra for refrigerator

The location is great. Plenty of access to food, shops, beach, and entertainment. The staff was friendly and hospitable. The Ocean7 restaurant has great food and bartenders have great personalities. The views from the various porches allow you to take in the scenery.

Everyone was very helpful and nice.

Our stay was great. The room was nice but in Need of some updating.

Staff very helpful and friendly. Pool was great. Live music a plus
