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 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.
