Pros +
- Friendly staff, umbrellas and chairs on beach, informational texts from staff, less crowded area of Cape May
- Directly across from the beach and the property has a pool, restaurant, and bar (indoor and out) with a fire pit and sandy area adjacent to live entertainment.
- Centrally located, clean and comfortable...we felt safe there...
Cons -
- The complex needs some touching up as far as painting and the outdoor pool area needs renovations to capture the â∠ÂKey Westââˆvibe for which the complex seems to be striving.
- Windows in bedroom were broken and not shut tight. Missing curtains. Otherwise clean. Some stairways poorly or no lighting at night. Very dangerous.
- How many I didn't like about this Hotel I didn't stay longer

Location and amenities
Awful must smell in room
Great staff and location - lots of ammenities
Clean room. Great view.
It was a very "vacationy" feel.
I like everything.
Love the location, the Rusty Nail, the twice daily room service, and the beach service
The lighting in the room needs improvement especially the bare Edison bulbs next to the bed
The walls and ceiling were paper thin. We were on the bottom floor and had noisy neighbors both nights. We had a sound machine on and could still hear them.
It was very nice. Clean. Great location.
We got into the room late. Although I had checked it when we checked in earlier in daylight hours , we had a dinner. At night, we got back and realized that there was no electricity in the bathroom. The fuse must have been tripped. No lights and no use of outlets, just that one room. It was too late to ask them to flip the switch. We just ignored it and used phone lights for bathroom.
Our reservation was for Sunday whileThey would not offer a refund or even a credit
Location! The room options and access to dining was important. The suite was nicely appointed and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. I appreciated the use of glassware, mugs and plenty of lighting. Walking in to a well lit room felt very welcoming.
One side of the bed was so close to wall it was almost impossible to access and permanently fixed nightstand didn’t allow bed to be moved. The room coffee was mediocre and the Keurig maker was awkward to use in the basket containing supplies. We also lost power in bathroom our second night.
The pool, the bar, the restaurant, and the room.
Room 112 - blind in bedroom needs adjustment so outside street light doesn’t shine in.
Great location proximity to the shops/market area, well-sized pool for families, across from a beautiful beach spot.
Location
No hit water, poor water pressure for showe. Called ahead to let them know this was a Honeymoon stay. Nothing done. Lady at front desk knew nothing. Did not know about Breakfast room service. I would expect my money back refund poorr
Room very clean. Housekeeping friendly and helpful. Pool was clean towels always available. Especially liked beach chairs and umbrellas so we didn’t have to lug our chairs to the beach
