Wonderful bed and breakfast.
The property is immaculate. Breakfast was delicious. An extra blanket in our room would have been nice.

We stayed here for only one night. Check in was completely painless and the property and our room were both beautiful and comfortable. It's a short walk to restaurants and shopping, and we did both! Breakfast was tasty and the host was super friendly. Great stay for us!

Very nice
The Inn and our room were very pleasant, as was the innkeeper. Breakfast was okay, but the water in Cape May is terrible and I would suggest that they put bottled water in the rooms.

Hard getting in and out of bed because of the attic ceilings.and we are seniors and weren’t told we had to climb three flights of stairs to get too our room
Response from Joanne on Nov 8, 2022
Anthony, you booked the room via a third party but the description states the room is on the 3rd floor and also shows multiple pictures of the room (some have dormers). If you had called us directly I would have definitely let you know.

Thank you for your review. The heating option does work. You need to point the remote at the unit just like a TV.

There are no ocean views. Partial at best.
I booked an oceanview suite for our first time visiting Cape May. Upon arrival, the inn still had COVID protocols in place with contact-less check in (but yet they served breakfast at one big table). The information provided did not include any information on beach chairs (which the website says they provide). We ended up paying for them every day. The room was certainly not a suite and the oceanview was laughable. The website also said we had an in-room refrigerator and it was not in the room but in a room outside the room itself. The bathroom was clean but the tub lacked any place to put your toiletries, i.e. shampoo, soap. The room was not inexpensive and the fact that they labelled this as a suite and an oceanview was just not acceptable. If we had been properly informed of what we were getting, it would have been a different experience, but apparently our expectations were set a bit too high.
Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022
Response from Joanne on Jul 12, 2022
If you wanted to be properly informed you might have called us and asked some questions about the room instead of booking online and not doing any research. You mention serving breakfast at one big table? We serve 6 instead of 12 at that one big table. We have 3 tables set up on the front porch as well for breakfast. You might have noticed that had you come down for breakfast instead of sulking in your room. That would have been a good time to ask, as well, where are the beach chairs. Most people look in the back of the house and they surely find them. Just common sense we wouldn't stack them in the front of the house. There is only ONE room with a refrigerator in it and you didn't book that particular room. We have TWO refrigerators in the library on the 2nd floor and most guests are quite happy with that. The room certainly does have an ocean VIEW. I can see you angled your pictures in such a way to not show much of the ocean. Clever. I believe what you were hoping for was an ocean "FRONT" room. Had you done any research you would have found that you would need something directly on Beach Ave for that and it would have cost you twice what you paid for.

For $250, we have a room in the attic and wifi didn’t reach there. Bed very uncomfortable. Everything is too old and needs update. Breakfast was good.

We have 2 bedrooms on the 3rd floor and there are pictures on the website which show the dormers. You chose the 3rd floor room probably based on the less expensive rate for the economic traveler. The house was built in 1879 and the pictures on our website clearly show that it has been updated. You would probably be better off staying in a budget hotel rather than an historic treasure.
