This place is smack dab in the center of everything BUT needs major updating. Our bathroom door wouldn’t close, we had to lift it to close. No hot water from the sink. No pressure at all in the shower. The window had rotten wood and didn’t close all the way. We had to walk up 3 flights of steps cause elevator only fit 2 people and had to wait for employees to bring you up. We understood the history of the place and ole world charm but some modern necessities need to be addressed. The room was clean but bare. The chair in the room was uncomfortable and falling apart. We had no where to lay down our bags cause there was no furniture. My phone wouldn’t charge all the way each night I believe cause the outlet failed. No wifi service at all or very weak. They need some boosters for higher rooms. The bed was ok but up against a wall with itchy sheets but that happens in many hotels. The parking is convenient but fills up fast. They gave us coupons for food/ drink and also beach tags. There was live music which was entertaining. Overall a positive experience just needs alot of TLC. Also not worth the money they asking for it.

Disappointed

The staff was excellent and kind , we know it’s an old building but the door was hard to lock and unlock and there were spiders in our room upon arrival also. One of our pillows smelled so bad , and unclean we couldn’t use it. There are no curtains just blinds but our room faces the back streets with lights that could not be covered up completely- the hallway light was also visible under the huge gap in room. I was just surprised for what we were charged for one night. I guess I expected a bit higher standard. Maybe a better room?

From the moment you walk through the doors and are greeted by the super friendly, smiling staff , you are instantly transported to another gentler , peaceful time. Every single staff I encountered was friendly, smiling helpful. The lady at the front desk , I called her angel in my mind because that’s what she was , was so helpful. I loved Nicky who made my morning coffee . The room was clean , super clean , white and airy . As I descended the gorgeous stair of this lovely dowager hotel , I could feel myself transported back to the 1800s , I loved the drinks on the porch they were. delicious . Only regret .. leaving.i give this truly beautiful hotel 5 stars and I thank the staff for a memorable stay.

A bit overpriced.

Our visit to Cape May was amazing. The hotel's location could not be better; however, I felt the pictures were a bit misleading. I felt like I had no room for anything. I have to use my computer even though I was on vacation and I felt like I had nowhere to put my computer except for my lap while sitting in bed and then the Internet connection was horrible. I ended up going downstairs into the lobby and it worked great there. For the price, overall disappointed. The staff was great - no complaints. I realize it is a boutique hotel but had no room for suitcases to be put aside - felt a little overwhelmed coming into the room with just stuff everywhere.

In the moment we arrived, it was a very pleasant day. We loved being able to park right across the street and get beach tags starting at 11 AM the day that we checked in. Our room was available early as well. The staff was very kind and we enjoyed the toiletries and white robes in the rooms. The lobby makes for a comfortable place to relax in the evening or on the wraparound porch. The location is fantastic and walkable to all of the main points of interest in Cape May. Would definitely recommend!

I used to love coming here and had been staying here for 20 years. Every morning I went into the bathroom to wash over a basin pulled out from the wall, how it happened I have no idea, but it should have been repaired before the room was rented. The hook on the wall had been taken out and haphazardly installed again with the two Philips head screws hanging out of the holes. Room 401. It was quiet and the bedding and towels appeared to be clean. I ate there one night and the food was fine. The bartender, however, had no idea how to make some fairly standard drinks and the wait on the porch was sometimes terrible. I may go elsewhere next time. The beach tags and chair and umbrella have always been a plus with the room offer,however.

The Inn grounds and atmosphere was very pleasant. Vintage feeling with modern outside fireplaces and couches. Pool located on a corner of loud busy street. We were most disappointed with the room. Bathroom sink tiny, no room for placing cosmetics etc. Bathroom door didn’t close Bare white walls with a hospital room feeling this was the 5th floor. Having to ask for a bellhop every time you use the mini antique elevator was a little annoying. Room walls were thin and you could hear much more than you needed to hear which was a complete disappointment. Breakfast on the porch was good as well as the staff service. The staff overall were very nice!

I really liked the location of the hotel! It was perfect for our first time staying in cape May. The restaurant was also very nice and made getting a dinner easy and in the morning the coffee bar was very convenient. The view from an ocean view room was fantastic and not loud like in some similar areas. We only thought the bathroom needed attention with new fixtures ie the handle in the shower was loose but it was nothing unexpected in a building like this and did not necessarily warrant someone from maintenance coming in to our room, but we did tell the front desk. I think this a common theme here, but overall I still liked the bathroom especially with the walk in closet.
