Room was decorated nicely, AC worked good in the room mattress was very com fortable and the bed linens were nice. On the negative side the TV could not be adjusted for volume. Only the one remote controlled the TV and it had no sound button on it. the volume was so low you might as well had it on mute. Also the shower had mostly hot, hot water and that could not be adjusted properly. You almost had to totally turn it of to get a tolerable level of heat and that slowed the stream down greatly. The fact that we never saw any staff to possibly fix either situation led us to not really enjoy our stay overall. Doubt if we would ever come back

The Cape was perfect for our first visit to Cape May. Everything we wanted to see and do was within a 10-minute drive, depending on traffic. The room was clean and ready upon our arrival, parking was easy, and it had everything we needed for our little getaway. Thank you from R&C.
