Great hotel and location, worth the stay just note that live music from restaurant plays for a long time, sometimes providing for unwanted background noise. Otherwise, excellent place!

6/10 Good

The loud music from the restaurant/bar next door was loud and obnoxious.
Larry, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the location and the room was amazing just wish we had gotten a room that didn’t face the inner wall of staircase and could have gotten a room the looked out to view of pool area/ ocean. Bathroom was very clean and so was room. Wish it was more affordable because then we would go back again and again.
Victoria, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Beach Shack is a nice spot to stay at when in Cape May. Pros : Ample parking, great location, restaurant on site, easy check in & texting abilities with front desk/hospitality/concierge, clean & nice layout. Cons : Lacks coziness for that surfer vibe theyre going for - could use more ocean/surfer artwork decor & not enough mirrors or hooks.
Jennifer, 2-night trip

This was one of the most memorable hotels we stayed in because the rooms didnt look like any old hotel room. They were filled with a special decor that was both personal and homey. Staff is so super friendly and nice. We will be back ♡
