My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and accommodated all five of us, but they weren’t ready when we arrived due to cleaning. The staff was incredibly nice and made the service the highlight of my experience, especially with the breakfast included. The location was superb, close to Cape May and away from the crowded boardwalk. However, the dining hours were a bit limited, and I wish they had more options throughout the day.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is perfect, right on the beach, making it easy to enjoy the sun and sand. The rooms are amazing—definitely some of the best I've ever stayed in. On the downside, we had a frustrating wait on our check-in day, and the service could really use some improvement. Overall, it's a good spot for families, but just be prepared for a few hiccups.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, which has a perfect beach location and rooms that are extra clean and spacious. The kitchen and lounging areas were a nice touch, and the staff was friendly and helpful, although there could be some improvement in customer service training. The price was reasonable for what I got, but the dining options could have been better.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, right by the beach and close to the boardwalk, which I really loved. However, the room was quite run down and not as clean as I would’ve liked. The service also left a lot to be desired, which was disappointing. Overall, it has the potential to be great, but definitely needs some improvements on the upkeep and service front.

The room looked quite old and definitely needed some deep cleaning. It had a view of the ocean, which was nice, but it was much nicer than I had expected given the other condition.
