Our stay was truly enjoyable, starting with the lovely and helpful staff. Our room was clean, and we found the hotel itself to be historically very interesting. My husband and I enjoyed our time, meeting a few other guests who added to the visit's charm. We also had the pleasure of sharing the night with a wedding party that held their reception there.

What a cool hotel. The location was perfect - halfway between the shopping and the beach - and the atmosphere was really nice. The hotel is definitely older but in that intangible historic way. We had a small room for a quick weekend getaway and it was just perfect. It seems like they are slowly renovating throughout the hotel so I hope they don't strip away the character. The small winding hallways and the peculiar room layouts (including small closets and sinks in the bedrooms) all made the place that much more unique. I felt that I was on the set of an old movie. The Magnolia Room is closed for the season but the King Edward Bar was really a hidden gem. The food was phenomenal (my wife is vegetarian and they had some good options) - he pimento cheese, cauliflower risotto, and roasted oysters were all excellent - but the kitchen closes early. We stopped by both nights and it looked dead but was absolutely PACKED for the late night crowd. What a fun hotel, I am definitely going to make this my base whenever I am staying in Cape May.

Beautiful historical hotel with excellent accommodations and staff. Unfortunately area parking is limited, no TVs and shared bathrooms for some units. Additionally no elevator. Breakfast is served for a fee and live music on most days. Beautiful lounges, dining room and porches. Excellent place.

There was no TV or hair dryer, which was probably stated in the description so it’s my fault for not realizing. Otherwise it was a very great stay! Super clean rooms and close to the beach and Washington Street Mall!
