We love the Star Inn and try to go once a year to visit there.
Our room this year was very small, but it was still comfortable and clean.
When traveling to Cape May, I never stay anywhere but the Cape Resorts. They are the BEST! The Star Inn, which is the sister property adjacent to Congress Hall is an AMAZING location. One block from the beach. One block from the Washington Mall! LOVE!
This is just like the Cape May cottages, which I adore. This is the feel of a home, not hotel. The main house has 9 rooms. Ours was on the third floor and there is NO elevator. It is important to note, every room is different and each has its quirks.
The staff was amazing- our heat broke on the 1st night and they were very quick to fix it. The live music at the bar in Congress Hall was very nice.
The room we stayed in was extremely small with a slanted ceiling. I would never stay in that room again.

Location and the room
Quaintness, charm.
Jackhammers working outside my window while I was doing work.
Very quaint and cozy!Perfect place to enjoy one another away from the constant fast paced lifestyle!
We are very tall and the angles walls were a little annoying but none the less it was great!

Room a little too small. Might be ok for summertime if out all day and night.
This charming inn is located steps from the beach and to every convenience of the town. Beautiful property with gracious host. Room was charming, comfortable and very clean.
Loved the location and the pantry was a bonus! It was reasonably priced relative to other places we looked at. Parking lot was great to have too, though on first night, it was a full house so there were 19 spots (2 less than the 21 units), so we had to park on the street. Fortunately, in January you don't have to pay for parking on the street! It was nice and warm in the suite.
Sofa bed was uncomfortable. There were no blankets for the sofa bed. The bathroom electrical outlet didn't work, but fortunately the bedroom had a mirror right above the outlet so I could blow-dry my hair. The heat cycled on and off and made quite a bit of noise whenever it started blowing again.
The location is perfect. Right in town and close to get everything.
I've been staying here for several years. I have always been very happy with my room in the past, but this time there was a miscommunication and I had a much smaller room. The bathroom was uncomfortably small. The shower door did not close properly and water was leaking on the bathroom floor. This caused the carpet near the bathroom door to become damp. We tried to use towels to stop the leakage, but the carpet outside of the bathroom was still affected.The room did not have a refrig. We asked the front desk and they sent one to the room but it blocked the closet door and it made a lot of noise. We ended up unplugging it and not using it.
This property is a great location with many things within walking distance. You also have a beautiful view of the beach/ocean on the 2nd & 3rd floor. The staff is amazing and very friendly.
When booking our room we were under the impression we would have a different room due to the pictures advertised for the room we payed for. We did not get the room that was advertised which was very disappointing & misleading. I would highly suggest taking photos of the actual individual rooms so people are aware of where they will be staying . The rooms are all nice, but the photos are misleading. The only room advertised and shown is the very top room with the best view and it is not a guarantee that you will actually get that room. I believe that could be improved but over all this is a very nice place.
great location since we could stroll to beach and the Washington Mall area; attended mass at the beautiful Catholic church
can't think of any drawbacks
Cozy, quiet, well maintained extension of Congress with a private bed and breakfast vibe
The location, customer service, and charm were amazing. The ability to walk to the beach and have an umbrella, chairs, and towels as part of the room fee is terrific as is the easy walking access to everything.
It is understandable that this prime location that also offers access to a pool, spa, and fitness center would be this expensive in August. Walking everywhere is a huge bonus. However, the room was a bit small given the price. That is undeniably part of the charm but it's worth noting.
Location and all of the amenities. We felt very taken care of. Also so convenient to have a little shop on the bottom floor where one could get snacks and drinks for the beach.
Sink are could use more storage.
Convenient and view of ocean
Could hear visitor above but not too longView of parking lot and other visitors on porch who could see us toon
