Perfect stay in Cape May!

My visit to Cape May was to visit family and my stay at the Star made it a perfect couple of days! Everything was great and the service was excellent! Check in was a breeze and the turn down service was a little luxury.

Came here last minute. I live locally and our electricity was out. The room which they upgraded for us was charming. I had a stressful week and was just getting over being sick. Had a great nights sleep and felt totally relaxed. Thank you for the wonderful experience. We will be back

Always a great experience with this hotel group. Have stayed across the street at Congress Hall a number of times and this "motel" version was absolutely perfect for a winter weekend getaway. Would definitely return.

Five Stars for The Star Inn!

Our stay at The Star Inn far exceeded my expectations! My family usually stays at Congress Hall during the holidays, but decided to give The Star Inn a try this time. The location can’t be beat as it’s located directly across the street from Congress Hall and all the festivities on the lawn. We even had a lovely view of the carousel from our room’s front porch! The service was excellent! The inn keeper was so friendly and accommodating, it felt like we were being welcomed into a family member’s home! The rooms were spacious, clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated! My husband and I loved that we could get a delicious latte from The Star’s cafe each morning. We’re looking forward to our next stay at The Star Inn!
