We needed a room quickly since our other booking failed. It was clean, quiet, bed and bathrooms were great. Location is within city limits. Staff was accommodating. No problems parking and price was great compared to surrounding areas. I would use again. No hassles at all

We have stayed at this property a few times, but this is the first time we are staying under new management. Our room was nice, new bathroom upgrade until we noticed our room was infested with flies, and not just one or two, way more. We would kill them and come back and see more, overnight we woke up to a swarm of them on each of the windows. Management basically told us we could switch room at 11pm at night - we were only there one night stay. Nonetheless all we received was an exterminator would be by in the morning, but that doesn't help us once we were gone. Some type of compensation, maybe a discount to our room would have sufficed. But instead we dealt with it. Highly doubt we will be back. OH and should mention their waterfall in the pool was not on or according to them waiting on a motor part for it. This was never mentioned in our booking. For over $200 stay very disappointed. You need to do better for your patrons.

We had a wonderful stay! The host was incredibly responsive both before and during our visit, which made everything so easy and stress-free. We stayed in the double room suite, which was perfect for our needs — it had two spacious bedrooms, a full kitchen, a dining table, a cozy living room, and two bathrooms. Everything was clean and well-maintained. The location was super central — most places we wanted to go were just an 8 to 15-minute drive away. The pool area was also a highlight, with plenty of tables and umbrellas for relaxing. This place also has cottages which are super cute. We truly have no complaints and would absolutely recommend this place to anyone, whether you're traveling solo or with a family. Thank you so much for a great stay!

Checking on our summer get a way.

We were there to check on our summer place. It was very close by and fit our needs. The hotel is run by internet. We never saw a soul as everything was done electronically. That didn't bother us as we know the area well. For some that might not be so comforting.

We have traveled through 10 states in our road trip and stayed overnight at several hotels. This was by far our favorite! We just had a simple room, no coffee maker but it had a fridge. Very clean and comfortable, the best nights sleep we had during our travels. The room had a wonderful, light smell of lavender.

It was my first time in Cape May and I will definitely stay at The Cape in the future. I stayed in the main hotel, which was very nice but I viewed some of the cottages, which are beautiful. Clean, reasonably priced for the area, with beautiful grounds and a lovely pool.

Room was very clean. Important to note that this is a digital check in. When we arrived at check in time (3:00), the office was closed. Through the text messages, I was told the code to check in would be sent at 3:30. Also, NO coffee on site anywhere.

Room felt sticky, we had to lay a path of towels for our shoes not to stick or our socks to not get dirty, as if it was "cleaned" with an old mop. The TV remote was sticky as well, we had to put it in a ziploc bag to use. Although we followed the rules for flushing, the toilet was very borderline to say the least. The bed was not comfortable. We stayed on the ground floor and could hear the upstairs walk and pipes bang everytime they used the shower.

It was perfect but when in bathroom it was very clean but there were dozens of very tiny black insects/bugs scattered on sink bathroom and bathroom door jambs, maybe seasonal from dampness. We told management and she quickly moved us to another room and it was bigger and clean like the previous room and bathroom was clean insect/bug free. It was excellent after that. This is really an excellent cozy place apart from that bathroom mishap which we thought was isolated. Enjoyed our overnight stay. It was actually one of the highlights of our visit, it was a cute, clean, serene, relaxing just refreshing place.
