Top Cape May Hotel Reviews

La Mer Beachfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Overall it was a nice property. However, be aware that if you stay in one of the off site condos, you will not have the same access to amenities as you would on the main resort. Parking was a little bit sketchy as it is a parking agreement with a competing resort, and if you lose your spot to one of their guests, you are simply out of luck."

Avondale by the Sea Motel

Mahalo Cape May

"We had a great stay. All of the staff are very friendly and helpful. It’s a quick walk to the beach. We took advantage of the hotel bringing chairs & umbrellas to the beach and setting them up for us. We also took the shuttle downtown a couple of times. Very short wait for pickup. Everything worked out great."

The Beach Shack

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent experience. Highly recommend."

Ocean Club Hotel

8/10 Good

"The Ocean Club was a great, last-minute choice for my husband and I for a getaway weekend. The location is facing the beach, where beach chairs and umbrellas await, and a reasonable walk to the shopping street. All staff members were friendly and accommodating and the DJ at the pool kept up a great Playlist. Having said that, this is not a 5 star property (or restaurant) although the price for this weekend would suggest it. Just saying."

The Sandpiper Beach Club

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great, I would return."

The Dormer House

10/10 Excellent

"Staying at the Dormer House was exactly what we could hope for on a vacation. Nancy and the entire staff were incredibly hospitable and kind, the property was quaint and comfortable, and the breakfast was superior. Our stay was extremely relaxing and comfortable - I couldn't recommend it more!"
