“Wish I could go back today!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

people found this review helpful

This was my first trip to Cape May. I found the Sea Crest Motor Inn by an internet search. I read others' reviews and saw they were very good. I am somewhat of a germaphobe, and the cleanliness of a hotel/motel is essential to my being able to relax and enjoy my stay.

The Sea Crest room we stayed in had a bedroom and a kitchenette/sitting room area. Both were spotless (The maids were still cleaning our room as we walked in, but that was no big problem.). The bed was comfortable and the living area was bright and cheerful (we had a room facing the ocean). The bathroom was clean and well decorated.

There is a very short walk to the ocean (just across the street). We walked practically everywhere, which didn't bother us. The Sea Crest is a few blocks (big blocks!) from the Washington Street Mall where we spent much time shopping and dining.

The only negative was a fish smell in the fridge. It was pretty strong, but we didn't complain. Upon checkout I told the clerk, and she said they would have fixed that if I had told them earlier in the week.

I'd definitely stay there again...wish I could go back today!

Room Tip: Our room was right over the pool and we had an ocean view. It had a semi-private balcony, but since...

My sister & I stayed at SEA CREST OCT 22-23 & Absolutely LOVED IT THERE! It was our first time b/c the place I used to stay at refused to budge on the 2night minimum rule...Lucky for us! SEA CREST was not only able to accomodate us for the one night but we even got a NEWLY REMODELED SUITE..with modern ammenities which was IMMACULATELY CLEAN! The bed had a nice comfortable mattress so we got a good nights sleep after walking alot all day.The location is ideal, within walking distance to everything to do in town. I told ALL of my family members & this will be our FIRST CHOICE to stay in Cape May from now on. Thank You SEA CREST! I plan on coming back many times!

Room Tip: They have an elevator if you like to stay on second floor but have trouble with stairs or heavy lugg...

“Great couples weekend”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This visit was an extended weekend for my boyfriend and myself. We knew we could count on the Sea Crest Inn to provide us with a clean, modern room with a beautiful ocean view. Having an ocean view room is worth the extra cost.There is a coffee maker and microwave in the kitchenette if you need them. We ate at the Lobster House as always and the Ocean View Restaurant where you can get a 10% discount on your meal; just show them your room key.. Shopping at the Washington Square Mall is especially fun in October for their end-of-season sales. There are also some antique shops you shouldn't miss. Sunsets are the best this time of year and Cape May is a romantic place to walk, ride, whale-watch and view the most beautiful sunsets.

Room Tip: It's worth paying extra for an ocean view room.

“Lovely couples weekend!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011

My husband and I along with another couple stay here every year for the weekend in October. We have been doing this for about 5 years now and every year we stay at the Sea Crest Inn. It is clean and the staff is very friendly. It is only a short walk to the restaurant and shops. The view from our deck is always amazing!

Room Tip: We stayed on the third floor in a suite, it was very nice kitchen , the bath was just redone, and ou...
