Awesome stay. Great place to stay for convenience and awesome experience. Only thing that could have been better was the bed was very soft. Other than that I would still stay here again. Great staff and hotel.

Nice boutique hotel (b&b). Lovely stay. If you’re on the level above the restaurant and sleep early, I’d see about requesting the third level for sleeping comfortably and somewhat quietly. It’s an older property so it all makes sense and is nothing the owners can do to really change it. It’s a no frills kind of place so go and enjoy it and the beauty that surrounds it. I provided direct feedback to the owners and I believe it will be taken and applied. Beautiful little beach town!

The quality of service and friendliness of the owners and staff were very good. The hotel had a tiny bedroom for 2 single beds, bathroom very small. Dinner with French chef was superb. I’d go again. Location very good and central. Close to Washington Mall.

Cape May is our happy place and we found a great new spot to stay. The property is in the heart of Cape May and walkable to all the great spots. John who runs the property is a great.

We had an amazing stay at this charming bed and breakfast. The owner, John, went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience, from preparing bicycles for us to offering fantastic local recommendations. The rooms were incredibly comfortable and spotless, and the location was perfect, allowing us to walk everywhere with ease. We definitely plan to return!

This is an attractive, updated 19th-C hotel with a fine dining restaurant downstairs. The staff is attentive, helpful, and cheerful. We stayed on the second floor in the Bronze room, which was well-appointed with a comfortable bed but had a tiny bathroom and shower that were a little difficult for my 6 ft. tall husband to move around in. The air-conditioning unit above the sink in the room leaked the first night we were there, but when we mentioned this to management, they had it repaired by the time we returned to change clothes for dinner. The hotel, like many in Cape May, does not have its own parking lot, so we were given tags so we could park in an area several blocks away. This was a little inconvenient, but since most of our stay was spent in town, not too much of a problem. The hotel is less than two blocks off the downtown mall, so very conveniently located.

Liked: Cleanliness
No parking, restaurant is right below rooms making it noisy. Hosts held a party until after midnight. Shower stall was extremely small. Would not fit a large person. Electrical plugs had lights so the floor was lit up at nite making it difficult to sleep. No lounge area. No extra security lock on inside of door to room. Hosts were friendly enough and the breakfast was fine.
