My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay. We stayed in room 505 that had a patio and ocean view. The staff were great and very helpful. We stayed for three nights and had a wonderful time. Here's a helpful tip the USB port is on the back of the lamps. We also slept with the patio door open and the heat turned off. I loved the fresh air. We're really looking forward to returning next year.

The location is near the bridge to Cape May thats why we chose the Hotel. The room we had was very clean, no loud noise. The pool is heated. The bed comfortable. Our bed was a full bed, we prefer Queen or King, but i think our room was only one available with 2 double beds. We will return to the property on our next short vacation.

Nice Hotel - Maybe Not the First Floor

Very clean. Rooms appeared to be recently renovated. Loved the anti-fog mirror in the bathroom. Unfortunately, our room on the first level was right next to the pool where everyone could look straight through the full glass wall that was the doorway. So instead of being able to look out at the view, we had to keep the drapes closed for any privacy. This might be great if you are staying with children who will be in the pool a lot of the time or you don't intend to be in your room from 9am to 9pm. For a couple looking for a relaxing weekend, it was not ideal. The pool was pleasantly heated and clean.

Nothing we’ll be bragging about. Will never book through outside entity’s like Expedia. I’ve always tried talking directly to the hotels reservation. Never would have been saying yes to a room smack dab next to a crazy loud pool area.

Great location near beach with views. Our room was first floor beach front, and we did not have a private balcony. We were able to use the large terrace with stunning ocean views for meals and relaxing. We were very warmly greeted at check-in and with questions we had during the trip. Parking onsite is convenient. Some spots are tight between columns.
