The Cape was perfect for our first visit to Cape May. Everything we wanted to see and do was within a 10-minute drive, depending on traffic. The room was clean and ready upon our arrival, parking was easy, and it had everything we needed for our little getaway. Thank you from R&C.

We were there for my daughter’s graduation from the Coast Guard and the manager was super friendly and helpful. We drove in from Philadelphia airport and we arrived a couple hours earlier than the check in time and since our room was ready she let us in our room early.

10/10 — Charming, Clean, and Unique! I absolutely loved my stay at Cape Cottage Inn! The individual cottages are so cute and unique, giving you privacy and a cozy vibe you don’t find at a regular hotel. The property is spotless and beautifully maintained, with a gorgeous built-in pool that’s perfect for relaxing. The location is excellent — just minutes from the beaches and downtown Cape May. Overall, I’d rate this 10/10 and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable, clean, and charming place to stay in Cape May!

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was nice and what we expected. Bed and linens were comfortable. There was a rack to hang clothes and a desk to put toiletries on. Front desk staff were amazing. Pool was beautiful and well kept It was not anything special for the price we paid but Tis the season. We did not complain because felt not worth it from what we read in other reviews….but Soap dispenser had dried toothpaste on it, bath mat had dirt stains, had to put code in twice for door to open every time, very few outlets. Back window not covered and let in a lot of light in morning and front curtains barely covered windows. Old water bottle under bed. We would not stay in the motel part again but would look into staying at the Ocean Estates as most of the good reviews seem to be from that part of hotel that we learned are same owners.

Definitely a misrepresentation from beginning to end. Keyless entry was fine. The room was not very clean. Bathroom towels were stained and the sheets were like sandpaper. Where was the pool? Never saw it. Way way overpriced for the poor motel experience. Requesting refund - thank you.

It was perfect but when in bathroom it was very clean but there were dozens of very tiny black insects/bugs scattered on sink bathroom and bathroom door jambs, maybe seasonal from dampness. We told management and she quickly moved us to another room and it was bigger and clean like the previous room and bathroom was clean insect/bug free. It was excellent after that. This is really an excellent cozy place apart from that bathroom mishap which we thought was isolated. Enjoyed our overnight stay. It was actually one of the highlights of our visit, it was a cute, clean, serene, relaxing just refreshing place.

We had a lovely time at The Cape! The property was well appointed, clean and within a ten minute local drive of most of the amenities needed (dining, recreation, etc.). During our stay, there was a glitch that occurred in the room. Dawn worked quickly to rectify. When she realized that it couldn’t be resolved until the next day, she upgraded us to a cottage (which was also lovely!!) Thanks for making our trip a lovely one, and we’ll definitely be back!
