This was the first time staying at the Inn of Cape May. The staff was pleasant and helpful especially the bell hop. Food was delicious. Parking was easy and attendant was very nice. The overall vibe and history of the inn added to the wonderful experience.

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?

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.

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!

Very convenient location to many great places. It’s clean and quiet. They have a nice bar and very good breakfast on the porch.

The Cape May Inn was an older style and it adds to its charm. Walking distance to the shops and places to eat.
We would not hesitate to go back again.
