Stayed one night in an ocean view room. The location is ideal - across the street from the beach, and walking distance to town, but far enough away that it's quiet. Staff was friendly and helpful. Free parking is convenient. The rooms are clean enough and a good size. The furniture and bathroom are dated, and the bathroom is smallish, as you might expect. Overall for the location and view I'd say it's a very good value at their price.

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.
