Terribly unfortunate
Could be a great place in a great location. I’m sure others feel the same. They need to put a little money back into the place. Was warned a day prior to arrival that they had heat failure issues. Staff was not accommodating plus arrived to find that our room have no hot water. Told me they would sent a service person to check but we checked out after three days and never had hot or even warm water. Staff seems not to care…. Unfortunately we will never stay there again. Could be a nice place, in a great location. Fix it up a little !!! The sink was falling off the wall in our mini bathroom!!

We stayed at this lovely Inn in Sept 2024, the weather was gorgeous. The Inn is charming, the staff was EXCELLENT! The bar was quaint, bartender was awesome! music nightly. The food was very good. Delish Quiche and a cappuccino in the am. Nice lunch menu and dinner was 5 star! Did not mind at all using the stairs, we were on the 4th floor, we loved the walk up, more should. Easy living for a week. We will be returning next summer that's for sure.

We love the old style hotels and this is one. This was our second stay because we had a nice experience the first time. This time however, our room was extremely small. This would have been acceptable except for the condition of the bathroom. A small shelf was not secured to the wall and there was no mirror in the bathroom. This was brought to the attention of the front desk the next morning but was never addressed by the time we left the following day.

The Cape May Inn was an older style and it adds to its charm. Walking distance to the shops and places to eat. We would not hesitate to go back again.

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.

Everything was awesome, but I suggest perhaps a picture or two of a lighthouse, boat, beach, or ocean on the room walls. This is since I am a little claustrophobic when there is nothing on the wall to break up the color scheme a little.

The property is old, so therefore has lots of character quirks & floors that slope & windows that don't close quite right, etc. We paid the extra for an ocean view & were disappointed that unless you were standing at 1 of the 2 windows, one of which had an AC unit in it we weren’t expecting to hear all night, you couldn't see the ocean. We thought we'd be able to sit in chairs and look at it out our window. Nope. Spending the extra money for the view wasn't worth it. There were no room darkening curtains, just blinds. That's sad. Our room floor wasn't vacuumed well as I was stepping on sand from the moment we got there. But the bed seemed cleaned & was comfortable. Apparently each room at the inn is uniquely laid out, no two are alike. The Ocean 7 restaurant on site... huh. Both times we wanted to get a table, once for dinner & once for late lunch, the hostess was less than friendly. We went somewhere else for dinner. For lunch, there were lots of open seats on "the porch", yet she made couples sit at a small 2 person table even if they requested a 4 person one, rather rudely. One couple even walked out after waiting almost 10 mins & never saw a waitress after being seated. Food was ok. Cocktails drinks were good! We were surprised by the live band music that was there. Music itself was good, but we went for peace & quiet, so we couldn't sit quietly on the porch nor in our room until they left at 10pm. We would give the inn another chance based on the other nice staff!
