Stayed here for our second time and loved it! Had our 8 month old with us and truly enjoyed the close proximity to the beach and walking distance to restaurants and attractions. Some may be put off by the distance to the outdoor mall but we live in the city and walk everywhere so the blocks seemed to fly by when looking at the old architecture!
Motel is well priced and the staff was friendly and helpful. We will be staying there again soon and may make it a yearly trip to stay with them!
Things to think about:
no pool
parking is in the back of the motel, so unpack in the front if you have an ocean front room.
be ready to buy your own beach tags (Cape May is relatively cheap for a daily pass)
showers are located in the back of the motel

We went there for my son's Coast Guard Graduation. No one was there but everything we needed was available. Hotel was cozy and comfortable. We had a great view of the beach right across the street.

The Buckingham is a reasonable hotel on Beach Drive with a gorgeous view from the second floor. The price is much lower than the other hotels by about $30 a night. The only thing you give up is a pool, and I don't want a pool anyway.

Now, if you are looking for a new hotel with lots of amenities the Buckingham isn't for you. It's a quaint, small town feel hotel. The office closes at night. There are wall units for air conditioners. The outside is brown.

But,. the view, the view and thre view along with the location, the location and the location, a friendly staff, clean room, small refrigerator and even grills if you want to cook out \, what else could you want.

Close to beach. Beach Chairs, Beach Rest Rooms, Pretty Sunsets, Has Parking. Costs less, but yuouu don't give up much if your goal is to enjoy the beach in a clean, reasonably priced setting.

My boyfriend and I recently stayed at the Buckingham Motel in Cape May, NJ for Memorial Day Weekend. We stayed in the standard regular room, with one king-sized bed and with no kitchen or ocean-front view. We couldn't have picked a better motel for our stay. It is a very affordable motel for tourists and travelers. The motel is right across the street from the beach so it is in a good location for the beach. The motel staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the area to help you get around the city. The room was very big for just two people. Even though the motel advertises itself as having a "mini-fridge," when we got into the room, it turned out to be a huge refrigerator that was able to hold up to 15 cans of soda plus some water bottles, which was a positive aspect since the weather was very hot over the weekend. The air conditioning worked like a charm, providing cold air whenever it was needed and it didn't take long to cool up the room. The motel also offers free internet service. The bathroom is VERY CLEAN. The only bad thing about this motel is that it is very far away from the main shops on Beach Avenue (where the motel is located). My boyfriend and I had to drive our car to the local shops, but it is really not that bad. If you want to walk to the shops, it will take you about 15-20 minutes. Other than that, the Buckingham Motel is a great place to stay and I would highly recommend it!
