A Perfect Weekend

We were very pleased with our stay over the 4th of July weekend. The room was comfortable and clean and the view of the beach was excellent. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The location is central to most things. We will be happy to stay there when we return to Cape May.

Overnight in Cape May

What a great find at Cape May! Wasn’t sure where I was going to stay for the night. I knew I wanted an ocean view without breaking the bank. This checked all the boxes!! They don’t have an elevator but are happy to help you with luggage. So welcoming and super clean place to stay!! Highly recommend!!!

Althea, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was our third visit to Cape May but our first time staying at Avondale. We loved the property - it was clean and roomy, the beds were extremely comfortable, there was always hot water and good water pressure, and it was so convenient for walking around the town. We came to see a concert that was postponed from last summer, and the Convention Hall is less than a block from the hotel. The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable. We will definitely choose Avondale for future visits.

Joan Marie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was comfortable with easy access to beach and shops. I did not care for the room next to the laundry and stairwell. It made it noisy.

We have stayed here several times and every time the property is spotless and the staff are very helpful and friendly.
