Hotel was clean and charming. Noise from other guests carried from the hall, and we woke to heavy equipment or landscaping noise. Short walk to beach was nice, as was the breakfast.

The Inn at Cape May was a good place to stay for a wedding event in Cape May. The room itself was underwhelming, old and somewhat dilapidated. MUCH smaller and run-down than depicted on their website. Actually, I was shocked by the difference in the advertising versus the reality. Service and cleanliness were excellent. Price was well above anything I would have paid knowing the conditions of the property. There were many other options and I should have done a better job researching.

Very charming place. Staff was helpful and accommodating. My biggest issue were the showers. We had two showers in our room. The water barely trickled out of either of them. water took about 20 minutes to heat up and went from hot to cold hot to cold during the entire shower. Needless to say it was the fastest shower I've ever taken. Also, one of the toilets was faulty and did not work. Would not recommend staying here for the price that they charge.

Welcoming staff, beautiful historic hotel with wonderful Christmas decor. The location is perfect for access to the beach and shopping. We also enjoyed the Christmas lights around town in the evenings. The rooms were spacious and clean. The rooms, especially the bathroom, are a bit outdated, but overall it was a great trip.
