Overpriced close to inadequate
Pros:

The room was clean

Cons:

Tap water smells like hydrogen sulfide. Light bulbs in bedside lamps not bright enough.
No extra blanket for bed. Door to bathroom inadequate. No way to check in in person… only on-line. No staff at motel.

Not long enough
Pros:

Great location for the party we were attending in North Cape May. I wish we had stayed longer to enjoy the pool area. Very clean room and property.

Cons:

My only complaint is the lack of outlets in the room but it’s understandable for the time that the building was built. We just unplugged the microwave and click to charge our devices

Pros:

After having arrived from a three hour flight and a one hour car ride with my daughter and grandchild, I get to the hotel and realize they never sent me a code to get in to my room as they said they would after I chef in onlin. I reached out to them by text letting them know this and when they finally responded they sent me a room number and a code that did not work.
Again I sent another text, asking them to please help us because I was outside of the room with a baby and luggage, but they did not respond. We had to bring down our luggage again because we needed to go to a gas station to use the restroom. They finally answered after 30 minutes asking if I were able to get into the room, I responded saying how could I get into the room when the code does not work. 20 minutes after they sent another text with instructions on how to obtain a key of the room from a closet under the stairs. This whole experience was very scary considering we had never been in this area and unable to have access to our hotel with the baby at 12 AM.

Pros:

The Cape was perfect for our first visit to Cape May. Everything we wanted to see and do was within a 10-minute drive, depending on traffic. The room was clean and ready upon our arrival, parking was easy, and it had everything we needed for our little getaway. Thank you from R&C.
