Assume time away with my birthday girl “75” years young.
Cons:

The construction in front of hotel… the cement removal and concrete cutting made a huge dust storm that covered my jeep.

Pros:

Across from the beach and the restaurant was amazing and staff

Cons:

It was too far from Washington mall area and we didn’t like our suite room basic and not enough closet space etc not warm and welcoming and bed room was small and tight ! The elevators were an issue and most of the time had to take the stairs leaving the hotel

Spring break with kids
Pros:

We were a group of 5, 2 grandparents, 1 parent, and 2 kids. We took advantage of the spring break promotion that included breakfast. Cape May is such a nice town and we enjoyed shopping, dining, nature trails, walking on the beach, and a trip to the zoo. My daughter’s favorite part was the pool, and my son made a new friend. The indoor pool is huge and open all day so there’s plenty of time to fit a swim in between activities. Breakfast buffet was plentiful and let us get right into enjoying our day. Rooms are comfortable, fridge was big, appreciate the extra sink outside the bathroom. It’s a really nice hotel, great for families or any travelers.

We had a spring break "stay-cation" at the Grand Hotel in Cape May!
Pros:

We had a spring break "stay-cation" at the Grand Hotel in Cape May! The oceanfront room was amazing...waking up to that view alone made the trip extra special.
We had 2 pre-teen boys and they absolutely loved the indoor pool, which was why we booked it. The location couldn’t be better. Less than a mile to Washington Square, shops and restaurants...cute beach town.
What really stood out was the staff. When we arrived there was some electrical issue with the check-in, but we went to the pool and waited for the text that the room was ready. Everyone was incredibly helpful and made sure we were well taken care of from start to finish. We booked directly through the hotel (not a third-party site), and the experience was smooth and they were very accommodating. It was a little pricey for mid-week in April, but still cheaper than summer. We highly recommend for families or anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway. We’ll definitely be back!

Nice stay
Pros:

My daughter and I did a quick mid week overnight trip for spring break. We had a great time. The hotel was clean, smelled good and everyone was professional and friendly. Complimentary bikes to ride around town was an amenity i didnt know and we enjoyed so much. They were perfect!

Easter Tradition
Pros:

This is our third Easter at the Grand, and we’ve decided to make it a yearly tradition to stay for Easter weekend. The rooms are always clean, and our kids love the indoor pool. Hemingway’s is a fantastic restaurant, and the Easter package includes breakfast every day and a really nice Easter Brunch that we always enjoy. Growing up in Cape May, we have the option to stay at my mom’s or sister’s for free, but we choose the Grand and have never been disappointed.

I’ve stayed here before and had wonderful experiences however I had an interior room. This time I was given an outside r
Pros:

Location of hotel

Cons:

Hated the outside room, very loud with people coming and going at all hours. Also didn’t like that I could hear music from people above me coming through bathroom vents.
