Pros +
- Love the staff, the heated pool &hot tub, location and proximity to everything in downtown cape may. The Bees Knee\ Barefoot - Chris & the entire staff - were also key take away high points!!
- The best part of this hotel is that it's right across the street from the beach, and within a short walk of shops and restaurants.
- Amazing Staff and location, close to everything. Oceanfront view.
Cons -
- While the hotel in its whole is very nice, the room itself felt a little dated and dark. Good thing we didn't come to stay inside. Loved everything overall!
- Nothing major.
- Rooms were a very nice surprise. Clean and plenty of room. Had a suite with sitting area which was awesome! !Lobby and halls, however, do not present the hotel in the best possible light. All in all however, great experience. I will absolutely book again

Location was amazing! It was walking distance to the beach, shopping area, restaurants, and bars which we really loved.
Bathroom was small and old. It definitely needs to be updated. The room could have also been cleaned better. There was hair in the bathroom, red stains on the skirt of the bed which I¿m hoping wasn¿t blood, I chose to ignore it so it wouldn¿t ruin my mood
I just went for the night. I thought it was going to be ocean view. It was ocean front. Clean. Staff nice. Close to all the shopping.
Bathroom could use some updating. But all good
Excellent location, the room was small but very well laid out with lots of storage and shelves. Very nice balcony overlooking the ocean.
Not a thing.
location
room not soundproof easily heard people talk from room next door
On the beach with wonderful views. Big and clean room. Coffee to help start the day! Free parking off street.
Looks a little rough on the outside, but much more appealing on the inside. Had some trouble with one of the lifts, but came right with the other lift. Tiny toilet seat...
Great location! Great View!
Our room was the first on the 5th floor and anyone going on the 5th floor can see directly inside our room. The room wasn't very clean and the people staying next door were extremely loud. It felt like they were in our room!
Location
Outdated interior. Small bathroom. Uncomfortable bedding.
Room was very nice. Good location.
Had to eat out most of the time. Small pool.
Great location. Next to beach, restaurants and Washington Street promenade.
Not enough hooks for towels/swim suits etc.
Staff and breakfast.
Noone should spend that much money to stay in this hotel. Very expensive and old, need to update everything in this hotel. I will never go back and not recommend to anyone.
Location, pool, and breakfast
Room musty and damp, no toiletries after first day, no coffee on day two, soap bar wedged in sop ceiling tile.
There were not enough seats at the pool. People woke up early to reserve seats .
Great Hotel. Great location! Our second time here and will definitely come again.
