Breakfast was exactly what I expected from a hotel. It was good and on point for the price. Knowing the location of the hotel and that there are other "LOCAL" facilities to have a meal, it was good.
Upon arrival, i noticed the light outside my door was not functioning and the door strip on the main entre door was in shambles with large gaps where you can see the outside. Understandful, the hotel is gearing up for the summer season and they have many projects going on but I was a guest for 4 days and the issues weren't resolved.....the door gap is a big issue just to think of bugs or say critters isn't get in a room.

Location is excellent, walked everywhere. Staff very friendly, helpful. The room and hotel were very clean, and beds super comfy. Kitchenette looked stocked (pots/plates/glasses etc,) but did not use much. Liked the rocking chairs on balcony. The pool/restaurant looked nice, but did not get a chance to use.
The balcony, was very small , pictures made the balcony and sitting area seem a lot bigger. We were able to walk everywhere, but seemed limited on parking, so did not want to lose our spot.

When checking in I absolutely loved the two people who checked me in- friendly and helpful and acocomdating and I felt at home right away! They were wonderful!!! My room was awesome and my balcony overlooked the ocean- I could have stayed forever! Last year on Christmas I stayed at a different hotel and hated it! Would never go back! I would come back to Lafayette any time! Thank you for the great service and beautiful room!
Nothing!

The location is exceptional. The beach is right across the street, almost all of the restaurants we tried were literally a 6-8 min walk. We enjoyed two trolley tours (day and night), a mansion tour, dolphin sunset cruise, Washington St. mall and the Wildwood Boardwalk. Even squeezed in a trip to the very efficient Rio Grand NJ Motor Vehicles office. This hotel's location makes all of these adventures a breeze. We appreciated always having available parking too. My highest compliments go to the staff. All front desk people were super friendly plus, I had made a mistake in booking my reservation and the front office bent over backwards to fix this for me. I greatly appreciated how graciously they handled this (especially since the messed up reservation was my fault). Combination of excellent location and exceptional service makes this a place where we will return to in the future.
I felt that the price was high - I understand the value of the great location but the room itself was just ok.

Love the Barefoot Grill that is attached to the hotel. The hotel is perfect. It is in the middle of everything and so clean. Even the pool and spa was impeccably clean. I enjoy this place. Wish it was a bit cheaper. Price is right for the area. But I can only afford one night.
Price is high. Which it was a little more affordable. I understand because of location and the great service and cleanliness but can only stay one night. Little steep. Especially in the summer.

The staff was friendly and very helpful. It was so nice to have a heated outdoor pool and hot tub available even in October. The air was slightly chilly, but the pool temperature was perfect. The location can't be beat - ocean views from every room yet just a short walk away from all the shops downtown. Breakfast is very reasonably priced and you can bring it to your room to enjoy on your balcony. We'll definitely be back!
The parking situation might seem daunting at first, but there are actually 2 lots behind the hotel, one is further back behind another building. First floor rooms are pet friendly, so you might hear occasional barking.

Outdoor bar towels elevator food all were good. Staff helpful. Issues encountered but hotel management refunded 1 night charge for inconvenience.
The in room phone didn't work was told keeping a list of rooms with same issue and will be fixed over the winter. Common area had condensation dripping from ceiling. Needed to leave overhead fan running and set to 72 degrees.

Proximity to beach (you only have to cross the road), and within walking distance of restaurants, town center, and activities. The room was very comfortable and clean and looks like the bathroom was fairly recently updated. It also had a little kitchenette with a microwave, cutlery, dinner ware, sink, small fridge, and coffee machine. The balcony also faced the beach so we had lovely mornings and evenings watching and hearing the waves. Staff were friendly and helpful.
The bar below can get quite noisy for folks who don’t fancy music during their evenings and if they go to bed early. We enjoyed it quite frankly and were able to sip a glass of wine sitting in our balcony while enjoying the live music below. The pool was small and was cold. But nothing you can’t get over.

The room was nice and neat. We were surprised by the mini kitchenette in our room and the extra space with the couch and balcony. The price was doable and we liked the location since it was right in the middle of everything so we walked to all our destinations. We liked Cape May :)
Pillows in the rooms could be more comfortable and we saw ants around the sink in the kitchen which was unappealing. It also smelled like bleach in every hallway so it might be a good idea to use nicer smelling cleaning products. Our door to our room would not close and we had to pull it shut each time we went out that was a big struggle.

We knew the room was small, which didn't concern us for one night. But the layout was great, especially the window to the balcony. Everything was clean and attractive. Although the bathroom fixtures were old, they were well maintained. Shower was great.
It was a bit noisy. could be because we were near the elevator. The room heat/ac unit was loud also.
