Top Cape May Hotel Reviews

The Inn of Cape May

10/10 Excellent

"Great location inn was clean and room was comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful wonderful stay would book Inn again."

Chalfonte Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was awesome. They were so helpful when we arrived late in the evening in the pouring rain getting our bags to our room. Also they will set up umbrellas and beach chairs for you on the beach!"

Angel of the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice stay. Clean room. Friendly staff. Breakfast was delicious."

The Beach Club on Madison Avenue

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was perfect for a quick getaway, rooms were clean, updated and very cute."

The Cape

10/10 Excellent

"Despite issue of pre-check in comparability. The place was great. Clean, pool, games and outside seating in back that felt private. Beds were a little too soft for me (fell into them), but everything was clean, tidy, and ready for a girls family beach trip. Thank you!"

Grand Hotel of Cape May

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and beautiful beaches!"

La Mer Beachfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We found the room very convenient, comfortable and to our liking. The pool was great and the service at the beach was well-managed, easy and friendly. We used the laundry service to our satisfaction although it was a little challenging to figure out. My only disappointment, and this will not apply to most people, is that there was amplified live music during dinner time, from 6 to 9 every evening, and we would have liked to eat and hang out on our balcony facing the pool. Unfortunately the music was quite loud, and impossible to ignore. Because of it we had to stay indoors or go out during those hours. I realize I am difficult on this matter, because most people like pop music or can tune it out, As a professional musician that is not the case for me. Other than that we had a fabulous time in Cape May and at La Mer, truly a class act. The weather cooperated and the beach was wonderful. I will definitely stay again at La Mer."

Virginia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was gorgeous. Loved having breakfast on the porch, room was adorable, and staff was fabulous. We will definitely be back!"

Mahalo Cape May

10/10 Excellent

"Very pleasant beach and town access"
