Such a cozy stay! We loved the room and the location of the hotel is phenomenal. Even though it was off season, we found more than enough to do and the hotel’s proximity to everything was great! Definitely will stay here again if we ever come back to the area.

Our stay was truly enjoyable, starting with the lovely and helpful staff. Our room was clean, and we found the hotel itself to be historically very interesting. My husband and I enjoyed our time, meeting a few other guests who added to the visit's charm. We also had the pleasure of sharing the night with a wedding party that held their reception there.

Spotless, very charming room, easy check in. But I desperately need another harsher. This stand alone addicted on the back of the house is not serviceable in this weather without an additional heater to to the one supplied. I’ve slept in my overcoat and an hat all night long.

10/10 Exceptional

Very charming room and very clean. Found street parking right outside. Room was right next to a kitchen area, and I noticed coffee perking there as we were leaving. TV was great. Temperatures were artic that night, and the heating was noisy enough to disturb one person's sleep. The location in Cape May is only a few blocks from the mall...easy walking. Considering the location and the nice room, this was an absolute steal...exceptionally good value. We agreed it would be where we try to stay next December if available.
