we arrived a bit early and our room was not ready. the desk asked for my cell and would text me, it never came. When we went back to the desk at 4:00 the keys were waiting. the room was too small for the king bed and wall mounted TV, i had to duck to not hit into the TV. the cable wire as exposed around the room to the connecting box that the lid was laying to one side. The shower plate was installed opposite to the water temperature and my wife was scalded by extremely hot water. the restaurant took our breakfast order and it was delayed by 30 minutes and there was no apology or offer for compensation for their error.

For this price only the proximity to the beach is worthwhile. Rooms are very small furniture spartan. Not a room to spend anytime in
No amenities for bathroom - ?? Fascial hand soap discontinued. Limited towels
Breakfast $8 coupon doesn’t go far . Better to go elsewhere for these prices and accommodations

Ok stay but feel that there are better options.
The location was great and we had a room with a view of the ocean. There is free parking right across the street. Our room was on the 4th floor. The stairs were easy to use, and the elevator is very old and you need to call for assistance with it. The room was small and the floor slanted so much so the head of the bed was on blocks. My husband dropped chapstick and it rolled all the way across the room. The bathroom is very small with no counter space what so ever. Not even room to set a plastic cup down. There is a pool but it is shared with other hotels. I would suggest finding another place and we would not stay again based on price and what you got for the price. We did not have a bad experience but just feel would could have done better.

Old inn with lots of charm. Could use more attention to details with room decor and amenities. Staff was attentive but spread thin at the bar/restaurant. Rooms do not come standard with refrigerators so if needed it will need to be requested for an extra charge.

The Inn is a pleasant place to stay. Like most B&B and inns in Cape May it was built in the 1800's. So it is old and not everything is perfect. There were at least two handimen working all day doing maintenance on one thing or another; it was not a bother. The hotel staff were excellent- very attentive and offering assistance. The food options (coffee bar, porch/bar/pub, and full service restaurant) were very good. The rooms and common spaces were as clean as they could be. The room we stayed in was very small (is what it is) but could have been better furnished. All in all it was a pleasant stay and if we were to visit Cape May again we would definitely consider the Inn of Cape May.
