We have been going to Cape May in September for 10 years and have stayed at the Virginia, Congress Hall and the Star. The Star is the best value...all the amenities of the Congress for not nearly the price. Great location, comfy beds and cozy rooms. We stayed in room 7 (top floor) featuring a small sitting area, king bed and a view of the ocean. The property could use a bit of a sprucing...but overall looking forward to our return trip next September! Kudos to the Cape Resorts Group!

The Star Inn in Cape May, NJ, has it all -- almost. Stellar beach block location; proximity to great restaurants and downtown promenade; the increasingly familiar and desirable Congress Hall name; super-clean, roomy, attractive, family-sized efficiencies in the motel section. (N.B.: The "inn" section has matchbox-sized rooms for top-flight prices.) The caveat: The front desk staff is stiff, unfriendly, and curt and sets a bad tone for the stay, at arrival, at check-out, and in-between. We found the same to be true of the cafe/"general store" staff at Congress Hall who seemed stiff and rushed. These experiences were balanced by the pool staff who were wonderfully friendly, accommodating, and courteous. (Another form of poor service: The wifi connection is weak and spotty.) We would give The Star Inn another try, but hope for service that makes us feel at home.

The Star is a great place to stay because it is close to the beach, close to the shops and restaurants in town and has the added benefit of access to all of the Congress Hall amenities, including the pool and the beach service. We have stayed there for the past two summers and find it to be perfect for our family. The staff is always attentive and responsive.

My family loves the Star Inn in Cape May. The location in amazing -1/2 block from the beach- and the service was fantastic- room was clean and cheery and cleaned twice a day with lots of clean towels. This is the perfect place because they have a kitchenette so you can have breakfast and or lunch there and cut down on the expense of eating out every meal- and how many meals do you want your kids eating chicken fingers anyway? You have the full beach service of Congress Hall so you don't have to bring anything to the beach except your sand toys and you can go for a dip in the congress hall pool if the ocean is too rough. Free parking, right in the perfect location and at the end of the day put the kids to bed and have a glass of wine on your private porch! See you next summer we will be back!
