Cape May hotellia

Plussat: Location and friendliness and hospitality of the hosts

Plussat: The location is fantastic.

Miinukset: The room was far too hot! 77 degrees, with no way to cool it down. We were told to turn off heat and open the window, which we had already done. The temperature never dropped below 72, and we couldn't sleep with the noise coming through the open window and with the heat. When we told staff about our discomfort upon checkout, she collected our keys without an apology or even acknowledgment. Breakfast was a carbohydrate, sugary nightmare. The only savory options were flavorless sausage links and hardboiled eggs. This was a spontaneous belated anniversary celebration, so we spent a little more and decided to splurge at Queen Victoria, where we had always wanted to stay. Big mistake.

Plussat: Convieniance to everything

Miinukset: i know it was prime time holiday weekend, but high price for one night. especially being offered 1/2 the price for extending previous days.

Plussat: The buildings were absolutely beautiful, especially considering all of the care Anne-Marie and Doug took in outfitting them. We were sad to miss the Christmas decorations, but I guess that means we have to come back!

Miinukset: Nothing, it was a wonderful, all-around experience!

Plussat: Room was nice. Staff was very friendly. Location was perfect.

Miinukset: Breakfast was fatty. Serve simple food not eggs saturated in cheese and French toast was like soaked cake in sugar and butter. Serve steel cut oatmeal. No parking. Had to walk 10 minutes to get car. Parking on the street was a big problem.

Plussat: The overall property and location. The staff is great, especially the breakfast and evening dining room staff. Would stay again and recommend this property to friends.

Plussat: So comfortable...great location

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: It is quaint and clean and staffed by nice, courteous people who provide great service.

Miinukset: No

Plussat: Hotel was charming,clean, and conveniently located. Staff was friendly, helpful and available. Overall a great experience. We would definitely stay here again.

Miinukset: Bathtub faucet was reversed - Hot was cold.

Plussat: Beautiful common areas with gorgeous Fall floral arrangements. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. Location was close to shopping, dining and tours.

Miinukset: Coffee should be available at 6 am as there were no coffee makers in the rooms.

Plussat: The place was amazingly located, truly beautiful and super clean! The service to our room and from the hotel staff was superb! The bar and restaurant had a great feel with intimate lighting, and live piano music. Watching the sun set from our private balcony, behind the Victorian skyline was a highlight. Beach, shopping, food and convention center easily walkable.

Miinukset: The room, bathroom, and balcony were wonderful. However, the bed, while comfortable, could use some leveling. If the head of the bed were raised a couple inches, it would be perfect. Otherwise, absolutely no complaints with our stay.

Plussat: The breakfast was excellent for a continental breakfast. Coffee was terrific. The Hotel was comfortable and the public areas cozy and welcoming. We would return!

Miinukset: The staff at the front desk were not very friendly. They were doing the job but did not seem to want to talk as they were doing it. We walked by the front desk numerous times during our stay and they did not even look up or say hello. I think this could be improved upon. We dined at the Ebbitt Room the first evening and the service was terrific but it was very noisy and my entrée--scallops--were beautifully presented, scallops were prepared well, but not very flavorful. My husband had the lamb shank which he thought was tasty but not as tender as it could have been.

Plussat: Excellent food and comfortable bedding. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel and room was very clean. Lovely front porch for relaxation. Very convenient walk to nearby shopping, restaurants and the beach

Miinukset: The toilet in the room bathroom was very low to the ground. Very hard for older guests to use. There should be grab bars in the shower as well for additional safety assistance.

Plussat: Staff was friendly. Food was tasty, but chicken undercooked. Received full credit for that meal and free ice cream. Waiter was very discreet and apologetic.

Miinukset: Our room was well appointed but had issues with the window heating/cooling unit. Very loud, in the early morning a sudden loud noise, ice crystals flew into the room. I asked the clerk to look at the issue. Clerk gave me a book on CapeMay, no discount.

Miinukset: The restaurant bar closes a little early at 9:30 for me, but so does the rest of the town really. I have nothing bad to say about this lovely hotel.

Plussat: The staff was friendly and very accommodating and the hotel was immaculately clean. The location is perfect - the hotel valeted our car and we never needed it again until it was time to leave.

Miinukset: no

Plussat: Nice room, clean, comfortable bed, great shower. Quaint building, romantic for couples, really nice dining and bar room.

Miinukset: Everything was fine except for... 1. How long it took to get me checked into my room because the girl at the front desk baby-talked each of the two individual guests in front of me, one at a time, rather than take the expedient course by showing everyone all at once the little details all guests needed to know. We were all standing right there, so it seemed to me that wasting other people's time like that was unnecessary and could have been handled better. 2. They stuck me up on the 3rd floor for no apparent reason, and I say that because it's off-season in Cape May right now so there were very few guests and I'm quite certain plenty of available rooms on the first and second floors. There's also no elevator. This was a work trip, I had just worked a 12+ hour day, and other than my suitcase which the concierge was nice enough to drag up there for me, I still had two laptops and other things and therefore had to make two trips up three flights of stairs. I really didn't like that, at all. In my opinion, any hotel with multiple floors should have an elevator. Making guests walk up several flights of steps just to get to their rooms is unacceptable. 3. The breakfast options on the card they give you, are limited. Also the times at which they will deliver it. If I recall correctly, the earliest they will deliver breakfast to your room, or you can even get it, is 7:30am. If you're on a work trip like I was, and you don't have time to be waiting around until that late in the morning, then if you stay at this hotel you'll likely wind up checking out and going out for breakfast on your way to the office instead.

Plussat: Breakfast was good, the place was close to the ocean & restaurants.

Miinukset: The bed & pillows were not comfortable. Wasn't able to see any T.V. wasn't told how to properly use it.

Plussat: Location is fine, breakfast not to our liking but, fine.

Miinukset: Room: on 3rd level (did not know about that), overall disappoint in the facility, especially for the pricing!!

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Our room was small with low selling so you can’t go to the bed with no bumping your head a few times. Frozen berry and saggy veggies for the breakfast had nothing to do with photos

Plussat: Beauclaires is just a half block from the beach. You can, literally, sit out on the lemonade porch on the bench swing and smell the wonderful sea air when the breeze hits you. Our host, Joe, was welcoming, professional, extremely down to Earth, and a truly good guy, not to mention a fabulous chef. His recommendations of the Capy May Winery and The Peter Shields Inn seemed as though they were tailor-made for us. Our room was perfect, and our experience followed suit! Could not recommend Beauclaires more!!!

Plussat: The owners were very friendly and accommodating. The place was beautifully decorated and furnished in period pieces. I loved just walking into the B&B in the evenings.

Plussat: Beauclaires was perfect for the night before/after Tri the Wildwoods. Check in was quick and easy and Sunday breakfast was excellent. The proximity to the Cape May's beaches and shops make the location ideal.

Miinukset: The only thing we didn't like was that we could stay for just two nights!

Plussat: From the moment you pull into parking lot it made you feel like you were stepping back in the time. The Southern Mansion was exceptional. Well apointed estate roFromoms with appropriate furnishings. The staff were attentive and pleasant. The breakfast in the am was delicious. Fine pantries, fruits and salmon. The raspberry french toast was to die for. The omelette was filled with sun-dried tomatoes, shrimp, ricotta cheese. Though we got up late with the breakfast cutoff at 10 the head maitre d was still accommodating. Thank you. Overall experience was outstanding for a weekend getaway.

Plussat: This property is STUNNING. And beautifully maintained. How do they do it? The common areas were breathtaking. The furnishings and decor were beautiful. The staff are all knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly. You felt like you were staying with friends. Our room Was a split level—quite unique. Just beautiful. Comfortable bedding with very nice linens. Our bathroom was large. Gourmet Breakfast each morning was one hell of a way to start each day. We loved our stay here and will return.

Miinukset: I can’t think of anything. Not everyone would like the split level room we had as the steps up to the loft were narrow and steep. And having to go up and down those steps to use the bathroom in the middle of the night may turn some folks off BUT there are 23 other rooms that are not split level.

Plussat: Our hosts Amazing breakfast

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The grounds and building are beautiful, the breakfast was delicious with several choices. The room was large with beautiful period furniture. Bed was comfortable, had several pillow choices.

Miinukset: We booked the Premier King Room which was lovely but not very comfortable, no comfortable chairs for watching TV. The TV screen was small and mounted in the corner across the room, making viewing difficult from the bed. The room was rather dark owing mainly to the heavy drapery on windows that blocked the light, and we could not move. It was fine for one night, but for the price want to be more comfortable.

Plussat: The food was amazing!! Bed was comfortable and staff was really pleasant.

Miinukset: It’s not that we didn’t like it but we would’ve preferred if coffee could’ve been provided earlier than 8:00am. That is our only grumbling.

Plussat: The room far exceeded our expectations! My boyfriend thought he was in a fairy tale!

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Welcoming staff, made you feel right at home. Spacious room & very comfortable bed. Wonderful breakfast!

Miinukset: Contractor drilling on floor above us.

Miinukset: The parking was tough.

Plussat: Very clean.

Miinukset: Getting charged $2 per bottle of water. For the price I paid water should have been included. No breakfast offering and could not find parking in the garage when we arrived. Room was rather small and position of bathroom was awkward.

Plussat: Customer service. Very clean

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Cleanliness; decor; comfortable beds

Miinukset: There’s no shelf or counter space in the bathrooms to lay out toiletries/cosmetics. Water pressure in shower was also weak.

Plussat: The staff, location and our room.

Plussat: Room was comfortable and clean, very comfortable bed, nice bathroom.

Miinukset: Very poor lighting, none above fridge, bathroom light mediocre at best. A bit expensive for what it is.

Plussat: THE location is beautiful

Miinukset: No

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: It was a very beautiful building and very clean. A great shower and comfortable bed. Breakfast was very well thought out and there is a lovely afternoon tea included.

Plussat: Staff was great - accommodations were very, very nice. Beach bikes were provided for our use!

Plussat: Outstanding breakfasts and service. We had an absolutely beautiful room, maid service, extremely Clean and beautifully furnished. Also a big plus for us were the interesting and friendly other guests

Miinukset: Nothing comes to mind.

Plussat: First time staying at a B&B. We enjoyed our stay. It was walking distance to the beach and shops. The room was great. Plenty of great places to eat nearby

Miinukset: Limited breakfast menu.

Miinukset: The breakfast was a great start for the day.

Plussat: The breakfasts were very nice. The room was very large.

Miinukset: This Inn was VERY expensive. 2 nights cost us over $750!! There was nothing comfortable to sit on in the room. There were only 4 vinyl arm chairs but no sofa or recliners.

Plussat: All good

Plussat: Centrally located, clean and comfortable...we felt safe there...

Miinukset: No...

Plussat: Perfect ocean front location

Miinukset: Parking

Plussat: We liked being close to the ocean and walked to Uncle Bill's where we liked our breakfast. We never had a problem parking and it was easy to drive to wherever we needed to go, e.g. Washington Mall etc.

Miinukset: I have a lot of arthritis pain right now. It was impossible to walk to the stores we wanted to visit. We hope to find a place closer to the stores the next time we come. We also didn't like the shower, and no free water ($5 a bottle? really?) and in general the room was not a thrill -- but it is serviceable if you are not planning to be in it for long. For a rainy day it was not great.

Plussat: It was a very "vacationy" feel.

Miinukset: I like everything.

Plussat: Love the chill restaurant and camp fire

Plussat: Comfortable beds and linens. Beautiful bathroom and nice amenities.

Plussat: Great location. Friendly staff. Clean. Had nice extras, heated pool, fire pit,dinnerware in room if you wanted to eat in.

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: The complex needs some touching up as far as painting and the outdoor pool area needs renovations to capture the “Key West” vibe for which the complex seems to be striving.

Plussat: Clean room. Great view.

Plussat: N/A.

Miinukset: Was not made aware that we did not have access to complimentary breakfast/lunch because of booking through booking.com. Blankets were stained. Wifi was shabby. Windows were old and rackety.

Plussat: Great location. Rooms were very comfortable. The restaurant & bar connected were convenient & excellent. The front desk check-in/check-out team were some of the best we’ve had. Very friendly & helpful telling you about the hotel & the town. Would definitely stay here again!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Cost no parking

Plussat: Did not get breakfast. We were not told we would get breakfast.

Miinukset: Accommodations. Room was so cold and we could not get the temperature down.

Plussat: Very nice location in center city. The hotel has also a restaurant which was very crowded (so guess pretty good) and a nice bar. They include umbrellas and beach chairs.

Miinukset: The hotel was quite expensive via booking.com, not sure about the rates in general. Also parking is not very comfortable since one has to drove 5 min and walk 10min.

Plussat: Staff was friendly, rooms were clean and well kept.

Miinukset: The bed was uncomfortable

Plussat: Great location in the middle of Cape May. Wonderful Mad Batter restaurant in house (yummy breakfast), with fine dining next door at Ebbit Room.

Miinukset: Staff was helpful if a bit taciturn. Lots of rules... do we need to have the parking pass returned by 2:30 or 3:30pm?

Miinukset: My room was awful. We smelled food 24/7 as kitchen vents and fans outside our window and they made loud noise 24/7. Room service food was fair not very good

Plussat: Beautiful historic hotel with lively bar and gorgeous grounds. Location is right in the midst of the pedestrian walk in downtown Cape May, so it is easy to stroll around and find a restaurant or shop. Very near the ocean and you can rent bikes and tour the town. There are shops near the lobby that have coffee and other amenities as well as nice gifts.

Plussat: Have been there before.. Was there for our 30th anniversity. loved watching the 2 wedding from our porch. Brown room great but room could use more seating. Bedding very comfortable.. Over all very pleased!

Miinukset: Room rates quite costly.. paid the price as it was our 30th wedding anniversary but always enjoy it there.

Miinukset: charm and good energy great staff

Plussat: Beds, service, room, employees

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Congress Hall is a wonderful relaxing place to kick back and enjoy its historical background. There are enough amenities with a restaurant , cozy bar, spa and ambiance meeting the past with the present.

Miinukset: From the beginning with valet service to the final departure along with the turn down service and restaurant staff and workers, the only thing that was an issue is our stay wasn’t long enough.

Plussat: Loved all the windows,bathtub,bedding. Very large room and want to request same room on next stay.And the history of Congress Hall. Also the tour was great.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming. Our trip was very brief, and we returned to the hotel around 11pm, following the event we had travelled to attend. My daughter had been fighting a cold and wanted some hot tea to soothe her throat. There are no microwaves or coffee makers in the room, and the Blue Pig was closed. However, a woman was doing the bookkeeping and we asked if was possible to get tea. She went to the back and made a cup for my daughter. I offered to pay or bill it to the room, and she said not to worry about it. Also, the valet service is so convenient and sanity saving, even in the off season.

Miinukset: The fitness center is probably one of the least used amenities in any hotel, so the offerings aren't very robust. This holds true here as well. Two treadmills, an elliptical, a bike, and a bench with a rack of hand weights. My advice, pack a resistance band to beef up your options. It takes less space in your luggage than sock.

Plussat: Wonderful hotel with ambience right in the center of town at the beach

Miinukset: One Receptionist was very pleasant, the other women was rather rude.

Plussat: The room was amazing facing the ocean! So nice so much to do!

Miinukset: Nope everything was great!

Plussat: Its history and location

Miinukset: Nothing stands out to me that was negative.

Plussat: Warm, cozy and friendly. Best bed linens around. Great nights sleep!

Miinukset: Our particular room had no view. Window looks out to the Annex and equipment. It was ok but there was noise from the machinery all night. It was ok for us since we only slept in the room but others might expect to be told this room was no view

Plussat: Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Close to the beach. Could see the ferry and lighthouse

Miinukset: King bed with other sleeper in room made it too crowded. had no strainers in tub drain and sink drain ,shower gives very little water other than that we liked the place.

Plussat: We liked the location and the staff at this motel best. It's an old property but with charm and is well kept with magnificent views

Miinukset: The heating was sensitive and hard to control-it could get too hot or too cool too easily.

Plussat: Location can't be beat! Staff is very gracious.

Miinukset: Toilet paper could be of better quality. Also towels for the shower could be replaced since most had holes in them.

Plussat: Best: across the street from the beach. Price very good for off-season. A great secluded hideaway. The staff at check-in were very friendly, felt like you were visiting old friends.

Miinukset: Small but cozy. Old motel but well kept. What I didn't like was the bathroom and some of the windows were rusty in some spots. The bed could have been a little firmer. Overall I would recommend this motel. There were no handicap rails in the bathroom

Plussat: Location

Plussat: The location was perfect for the Cape May Birding Festival. It was centrally located to down town and the natural protected locations. This place was cute and well kept. I could see the ocean from my front door.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: It was inexpensive and where we needed to stay for the night. Owners were very friendly and helped with a place to eat. we are planning on coming back.

Miinukset: Bed and pillows were not vey comfortable, but we did get a descent nights sleep.

Plussat: We were right next to the beach; we could see the ocean from our room. The staff was friendly, and my wife was happy with the cleanliness, and she has high standards.

Miinukset: The easy chair could be updated. The steps up were a bit of a challenge. No breakfast, but it's not a B & B, and we didn't expect one.

Plussat: Really clean. That, and location are what keeps me coming back. Excellent price for off season.

Miinukset: Hear through walls excessively!

Plussat: No food at this hotel.

Miinukset: Nothing really bad to say, but it is a classic Jersey-shore, dated older motel. Very clean, staff is friendly. If you want location, perfect spot. Plenty of food within a few minutes walk, beach is right out the door.

Plussat: Clean

Miinukset: Beds very uncomfortable

Plussat: Our room was very clean and the bed was super comfy. The location is perfect.

Miinukset: There was hair found in the bathroom and the bed was dirty

Plussat: The staff Shane & Mike (mgr.) are wonderful people. Their kindness in assisting myself and my handicap friend was overwhelming. We ended up staying at "Congess Hotel". A beautiful hotel and the other staff we had the pleasure to meet were awesome as well. Our stay was so pleasant and relaxing. We did not want to leave!!!!. Anything you need they are there to help with a smile.

Miinukset: There is nothing at this hotel to dislike, absolutely nothing.

Plussat: The Star is a cozy inn close to the beach, town, and next to Congress Hall which has a restaurant, bar, and shops. It's nice and quiet and a great value. If you're looking for a full service hotel experience, this is not it. If you want a clean, comfortable room in an old time guest house with charm, this is it!

Miinukset: NA

Plussat: Sarah was very helpful & friendly. Location is perfect!

Plussat: Bed very comfortable

Miinukset: Didn’t know was four flights steps and bathroom was across hall, knocking noise from heater woke me up at 3am not a good night sleep

Miinukset: We didn’t have any complaints.
