“Prices went up value stayed the same.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011

I was in here in September .My husband and I wanted to enjoy a little romantic getaway together enjoying the beach, sun, and fresh air. We have been coming down to Cape May for years. Then last year the prices went up a little bit. I’m sorry, but this is a little ridiculous .Seriously was just I don’t get it. They used to be cheaper . long before and after labor day. I remember last year when we came that it was cheaper than this... and a great value considering if you just want a clean room. Well yes you get a clean room but the prices went up! We are in a recession people! Give us a break! Maybe they think they can put one over on us but they got another thing coming! I won’t be returning here again. Ill try the Grand hotel of the Sandpiper beach one. 2 of my colleagues stayed in both and they were ok to them! You pay more money but you get a lot more and not all of them force you to do 3 nights in a row! Beware of prices going up.

“Ok for the $”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 September 2011

This is NOT the Ritz....just a motel room...clean...but extremely outdated....If you're looking for an affordable place to sleep in Cape May, then this is it. Barbeques provided outside are antiques as well...loved the plastic flowers! LOL!!!

“Ekky beds”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2011

person found this review helpful

I read the reviews on trip advisor before I booked and I thought it would be much better. Thank God I only stayed there one night. True the room was pretty clean and it had many conveniences like a fridge, microwave, etc. But, I dreaded the thought of having to spend the night in that bed. The bed looked about 30 years old and it had a foam cushion on top with the oldest blankets and sheets I ever saw. The bed almost felt sticky. Yuukk. I couldnt get a good night sleep cause I kept thinking that there might be bed bugs in it. They really need some new beds. As for price it wasnt that cheap, I spent $180 for one night. That might be cheap for Cape May I dont know. Good thing was the parking, beach across the street and the staff was extremely nice.

“Very nice for the money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2011

Motel was very nice considering the competitive rate. Well-run, and only a block from the Grand Hotel and new Ocean Club, so walking distance to good bars & restaurants. Beach right across the street. The window unit for air conditioning featured a constant-speed fan, so that kept outside noise out. First time I've ever been given a remote control for the room temperature.

Just remember to bring your own shampoo because they don't offer it.

“clean rooms and great location at a great price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2011

We have stayed here numerous times through the years and have tried several other places in Wildwood Crest. This is our top choice. Management staff (Janet) is always pleasant. Rooms are large with microwave and minifrig, small round table w/2 chairs ,and are always very clean and the price is very good.
Motel is small: one story with no indoor hallways and offers several larger accomodations on the second floor facing the ocean. They have a website that you can view each of the rooms and even book the room of your choice online. Off street parking lot in back of motel allows you to park without having to deal with meters in town.
Motel is an easy walk (it will take you about 15-20 minutes) to the "downtown" or pedestrian mall where stores, restaurants, and bars are located. Motel is across the street from the beach. You can walk to town along the promenade running parallel to the beach! Parking meters throughout town are hungry so being in a place where you can leave your car parked is a real plus!
Tip: check out George's Restaurant--they have the best breakfast in town!!
We also visit Rick's Seafood in North Wildwood which is only a take out place but have some of the BEST seafood in the county. Flounder is always tender and moist and the fried shrimp are so big they butterfly them! a flounder/shrimp combo consists of several nice sized pieces of fish and 5-6 large butterflied shrimp so it's really like getting 10-12 shrimp! It's best to order ahead especially in the summer but we get our #1 seafood dinner, take it back to our room, and use the table for dining. We pick up a bottle of margarita and we're all set! Can't beat it! Another plus...this place is open for most of the winter and offers great off season rates. Air conditioning and heat in rooms have always worked great. Take it from someone who was born and raised in the county but now lives in the South.If you don't care about a fancy place but want a clean room in a motel across from the beach....try it..you won't be disappointed.
