The room was nice, but old… obviously. We were there in December and the bathroom window wouldn’t close all the way so the bathroom was very cold. The staff is very friendly, best place to stay in Cape May during the Holidays.
Our entire experience was excellent.
The property is very nice, and the entire staff was helpful and friendly.
We particularly enjoyed the Brown Room for an after dinner drink and live entertainment.
Forgot all about the horrible weather. Staff was lovely. Don’t miss the historic tour of Congress Hall. Dining and Brown Room for drinks all top drawer.
Incredible Hotel! Very helpful and accommodating staff in every department, delicious eateries, beautiful building. Comfortable and amenities filled rooms
The room was great and the staff excellent Only problem was that the A/C in the room was so loud that we did not get any sleep...
