The Inn at Cape May was a good place to stay for a wedding event in Cape May.
The room itself was underwhelming, old and somewhat dilapidated. MUCH smaller and run-down than depicted on their website. Actually, I was shocked by the difference in the advertising versus the reality.
Service and cleanliness were excellent. Price was well above anything I would have paid knowing the conditions of the property.
There were many other options and I should have done a better job researching.

Very charming place. Staff was helpful and accommodating. My biggest issue were the showers. We had two showers in our room. The water barely trickled out of either of them. water took about 20 minutes to heat up and went from hot to cold hot to cold during the entire shower. Needless to say it was the fastest shower I've ever taken.
Also, one of the toilets was faulty and did not work. Would not recommend staying here for the price that they charge.

This is a unique property, being g a historic hotel. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the lobby very attractive and the bar and restaurant very good. But be prepared for some quirky things. There are no phones in the rooms, nor common amenities like coffee machine, mini fridge or microwaves. The elevator is amazing, the oldest in the eastern U.S. and one of only 2 like it, the other is in Paris. It will only fit about 4 people, 3 if you have luggage, as there has to be an employee operating the elevator. So if you're claustrophobic, request a room on a low floor. Not sure what other bathrooms are like, but ours was super small. Obviously once a closet, and the shower stall could really use an update. We also had to put a heater in our room because it was so cold and you can't adjust temperature. The staff, however, was stellar

The hotel itself is lovely. The rooms are the size of a monk’s room. King bed took up the entire room. One cell. No curtains, bedside tables, pictures on the walls. Nothing! Had to push the bed in front of the door in order to get in it. At 350 per night, WAY overpriced. We would never go back.

Reception and Manager Christine and Rebeca were so nasty. You would think I was asking for a free day !
Will never go back!

Charming old hotel, steps to the beach and walkable to the downtown area. The staff was friendly and helpful and the food at the restaurant was good. The old cage elevator is very cool. Rooms are small but well appointed - only wished for more towel racks for wet towels and bathing suits. Loved the free beach pass/umbrellas/chairs!

This hotel is well kept, but still old. If you're looking for modern amenities, like elevators or streaming services in your room, you won't find them! But if you'd like a clean room, quaint feel and walking to all the historic district options, this is for you.

This place is smack dab in the center of everything BUT needs major updating. Our bathroom door wouldn’t close, we had to lift it to close. No hot water from the sink. No pressure at all in the shower. The window had rotten wood and didn’t close all the way. We had to walk up 3 flights of steps cause elevator only fit 2 people and had to wait for employees to bring you up. We understood the history of the place and ole world charm but some modern necessities need to be addressed. The room was clean but bare. The chair in the room was uncomfortable and falling apart. We had no where to lay down our bags cause there was no furniture. My phone wouldn’t charge all the way each night I believe cause the outlet failed. No wifi service at all or very weak. They need some boosters for higher rooms. The bed was ok but up against a wall with itchy sheets but that happens in many hotels. The parking is convenient but fills up fast. They gave us coupons for food/ drink and also beach tags. There was live music which was entertaining. Overall a positive experience just needs alot of TLC. Also not worth the money they asking for it.

Disappointed

The staff was excellent and kind , we know it’s an old building but the door was hard to lock and unlock and there were spiders in our room upon arrival also. One of our pillows smelled so bad , and unclean we couldn’t use it. There are no curtains just blinds but our room faces the back streets with lights that could not be covered up completely- the hallway light was also visible under the huge gap in room. I was just surprised for what we were charged for one night. I guess I expected a bit higher standard. Maybe a better room?

From the moment you walk through the doors and are greeted by the super friendly, smiling staff , you are instantly transported to another gentler , peaceful time. Every single staff I encountered was friendly, smiling helpful. The lady at the front desk , I called her angel in my mind because that’s what she was , was so helpful. I loved Nicky who made my morning coffee . The room was clean , super clean , white and airy . As I descended the gorgeous stair of this lovely dowager hotel , I could feel myself transported back to the 1800s , I loved the drinks on the porch they were. delicious . Only regret .. leaving.i give this truly beautiful hotel 5 stars and I thank the staff for a memorable stay.

A bit overpriced.

Our visit to Cape May was amazing. The hotel's location could not be better; however, I felt the pictures were a bit misleading. I felt like I had no room for anything. I have to use my computer even though I was on vacation and I felt like I had nowhere to put my computer except for my lap while sitting in bed and then the Internet connection was horrible. I ended up going downstairs into the lobby and it worked great there. For the price, overall disappointed. The staff was great - no complaints. I realize it is a boutique hotel but had no room for suitcases to be put aside - felt a little overwhelmed coming into the room with just stuff everywhere.

In the moment we arrived, it was a very pleasant day. We loved being able to park right across the street and get beach tags starting at 11 AM the day that we checked in. Our room was available early as well. The staff was very kind and we enjoyed the toiletries and white robes in the rooms. The lobby makes for a comfortable place to relax in the evening or on the wraparound porch. The location is fantastic and walkable to all of the main points of interest in Cape May. Would definitely recommend!

I used to love coming here and had been staying here for 20 years. Every morning I went into the bathroom to wash over a basin pulled out from the wall, how it happened I have no idea, but it should have been repaired before the room was rented. The hook on the wall had been taken out and haphazardly installed again with the two Philips head screws hanging out of the holes. Room 401. It was quiet and the bedding and towels appeared to be clean. I ate there one night and the food was fine. The bartender, however, had no idea how to make some fairly standard drinks and the wait on the porch was sometimes terrible. I may go elsewhere next time. The beach tags and chair and umbrella have always been a plus with the room offer,however.

The Inn grounds and atmosphere was very pleasant. Vintage feeling with modern outside fireplaces and couches. Pool located on a corner of loud busy street. We were most disappointed with the room. Bathroom sink tiny, no room for placing cosmetics etc. Bathroom door didn’t close Bare white walls with a hospital room feeling this was the 5th floor. Having to ask for a bellhop every time you use the mini antique elevator was a little annoying. Room walls were thin and you could hear much more than you needed to hear which was a complete disappointment. Breakfast on the porch was good as well as the staff service. The staff overall were very nice!

I really liked the location of the hotel! It was perfect for our first time staying in cape May. The restaurant was also very nice and made getting a dinner easy and in the morning the coffee bar was very convenient. The view from an ocean view room was fantastic and not loud like in some similar areas. We only thought the bathroom needed attention with new fixtures ie the handle in the shower was loose but it was nothing unexpected in a building like this and did not necessarily warrant someone from maintenance coming in to our room, but we did tell the front desk. I think this a common theme here, but overall I still liked the bathroom especially with the walk in closet.

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!!

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.

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.

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!

Ok stay but feel that there are better options.

The location was great and we had a room with a view of the ocean. There is free parking right across the street. Our room was on the 4th floor. The stairs were easy to use, and the elevator is very old and you need to call for assistance with it. The room was small and the floor slanted so much so the head of the bed was on blocks. My husband dropped chapstick and it rolled all the way across the room. The bathroom is very small with no counter space what so ever. Not even room to set a plastic cup down. There is a pool but it is shared with other hotels. I would suggest finding another place and we would not stay again based on price and what you got for the price. We did not have a bad experience but just feel would could have done better.

The Inn is a pleasant place to stay. Like most B&B and inns in Cape May it was built in the 1800's. So it is old and not everything is perfect. There were at least two handimen working all day doing maintenance on one thing or another; it was not a bother. The hotel staff were excellent- very attentive and offering assistance. The food options (coffee bar, porch/bar/pub, and full service restaurant) were very good. The rooms and common spaces were as clean as they could be. The room we stayed in was very small (is what it is) but could have been better furnished. All in all it was a pleasant stay and if we were to visit Cape May again we would definitely consider the Inn of Cape May.

We stayed at the Inn at Cape May from June 11-14th. We were given a room on the 5th floor. There is an extremely old (cool) elevator but you must ring a buzzer for the staff who will operate the elevator. We actually found it difficult to rely on somebody in order for us to go in or out.
We were unhappy with the tiny tiny room. It’s in much need for a makeover and the view was horrible. We did ask for another room but they only had a suite and they would charge an additional $450!! Needless to say, we stayed in our tiny 1 double room.
The staff were very nice and accommodating otherwise.
I wouldn’t return to this Victorian style hotel as I would prefer something with a view, a larger room, lower floor and easy access.

Plenty of outdoor seating. The room rate came with restaurant coupons, beach passes and free beach chair/ umbrella rental. The beach is across the street. Walking distance to all the restaurants and shopping. One block over bicycle rentals to explore west cape may and the lighthouse.

Bad choice for a place with lot of better options

Worst place I've stayed in over 40 years travelling, totally killed the mood during our stay. Absolutely not worth the price even at half the rate. An old hotel in poor condition, looks to have last been updated around 1920. Pictures on the website are not what you get, room was plain and small with no discernable style or attempt to decorate. No chairs, nowhere to charge your devices (except next to the sink). Extension cords for everything with the ones for the TV hanging in your way as you need to duck to get around the bed. Wind blew through the poorly installed window AC all night. Bathroom was a joke for its size and outdated fixtures, with the smallest toilet known to man placed in an awkward corner with a sloped in wall. If you are over 6' don't bother staying here. Took over 5 minutes for the trickle of water in the sink to get warm (forget hot) so no way to shower in the small unit. Only positive: Front desk and bell staff were very nice. Skip the restaurant, the staff seemed annoyed we were there, food was meh with an $8 voucher for your $20 breakfast. Small, inconvenient, staff-only operated elevator and limited un-controlled parking means you might have to park on the street and pay (we did) with no reimbursement. Very poor choice on my part as there are a lot of nicer places that cost less nearby.
