It's a great, basic property to stay at with a good location, but no frills.
Pros:

The location was great! Right across the street from the beach and within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. Having the Continental breakfast in the lobby area was a nice bonus, especially for the kids

Cons:

We came during a slow time in Cape May so there weren't many people around and we could still hear other guests in the property. The walls seem to be pretty thin because we could hear showers running and toilets flushing

An extremely great place for the price !
Pros:

The location is perfect ! Close to everything , right on the beach and an excellent view of the ocean from our balcony . Everything was immaculate, the staff is super friendly and accommodating. I can’t believe what we got for the price !

Cons:

Odd thing - the toilet / shower water supply system is very very loud . When someone is either flushing the toilet or showering in the room above you it is extremely loud - not an issue unless your upstairs neighbor was showering at 1:00 AM ( as ours was)

Pros:

This is an older hotel which is kept very clean and well taken care of. Staff are very nice and happy to make your stay wonderful. This was our second time there and already have a third stay booked. Location is excellent and can leave car parked and walk to Washington street mall and restaurants in area.

Cons:

Always wish there was an elevator so we prefer to stay on second floor so we can see beach. Would make lugging belongings easier.
