We were there for my daughter’s graduation from the Coast Guard and the manager was super friendly and helpful. We drove in from Philadelphia airport and we arrived a couple hours earlier than the check in time and since our room was ready she let us in our room early.

It was a quick stay. Only two issues: key code didn't work so we had to get a key; the dresser with mirror was nice but no room to stand in front of it.

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.

Coastal Estates = great getaway stay!
We were met by the manager upon arrival, who walked us to our cottage and personally inspected it to ensure all was good. Very quiet and a secure location. Mother Nature and our schedule didn't cooperate to utilize the pool, but staff had it in pristine condition. Highly recommend this property.

The room was fairly small and the bathroom even smaller. The floors were slimy and slippery. The linen and towels were clean though

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.

The room had a musty smell to it. The floors in the bathroom were dirty as was one of the towels. It was a cute motel and the room was fine. Comfy bed.

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.

Great place and quite the value; bonus you can book single nights. Only complaint is there were long black hairs all over the floors and found several in the sheets. Had to wipe my socks off….
