We spent one night at the Inn of Cape May. Booked a "suite." I understand it's old, historic, etc., but my goodness, they really need to do some renovations. The carpets were terrible -- worn, tattered and dirty. The full size mattress in the 2nd room was old and either the floor was on a slight slope or the mattress/bed... More

Arrived expecting to stay in a charming Victorian hotel room instead we were greeted with a dark and dreary lobby and a room that was just totally disgusting for the money. The only thing Victorian in the room were the lamps (see pics below). Have stayed in hotel rooms all over the world and have to say this one was... More

Inn of Cape May was disappointing. Granted, I stayed off season, but the Inn itself was less than appealing on the inside. The outside begs you to come in and the restaurant has a good reputation (it was closed). I had a corner room with a king-sized bed and had better sheets in boot-camp 40 years ago. The mattress was... More

What a beautiful old Victorian Inn. This hotel is full of charm. If you are in to history, than this is the place to stay. It is over 100 years old, so don't expect it to look like one of the character-less modern day hotels. Breakfast is included, and the food is excellent. The porches are great for viewing the... More

Disappointing! Old and decrepit hotel. Very basic room for the price. Torn carpet. Need a total renovation. Shame as there are so many beautiful B &B in this lovely town. I would not recommend this hotel nor the front desk staff who were quite rude.

Yes, it's 118 years old but no excuse for torn carpets, peeling wallpaper, a shabby mission style futon (a futon in a Victorian hotel, really?)and torn window shades. I tripped over the power cord to the Zenith tv. Probably the worst craftsmanship and upkeep I have ever seen. Any place where they installed modern comforts, like a new toilet, they... More

I've been going here as a guest every summer for over 35 years. Yes, it's old and not the most up-to-date place, but the ambiance is terrific. Very relaxing (spend some time on the porch with a rocking chair and a drink - it's all good). The front desk people are really nice, especially the girl who pulls the night... More

Outside: Nice pool with plenty of chairs, very close to beach, lots of rocking chairs on large front porch which was ultra relaxing, hidden rack for bicycles, large "free" parking lot, short 4 block walk to Acme grocery store and the nice shopping area. It is really in the center of activities; very well located. Inside: Showing its age. Yes... More

The Inn of Cape May takes all of our reasons for vacationing in Cape May and wraps them up in a purple bow--the beach, the shopping, the restaurants and of course, the Victorian charm. Located on a corner with the ocean on one side and the free parking lot on the other, trips to the beach are super easy. We... More

We have been coming here for nine years now. We love it! It is right in the center of town. Breakfast included. Rooms are each unique and different. The staff is like family by now. They are friendly and helpful. I like having the pool and the beach right there. Best vacation spot.
