We upgraded to a room with ocean view, yes the view was spectacular. But that was it. You are only paying for the view. The hotel does not have heat, since we went for memorial day weekend and it was very chilly. They did offer a space heater. Also the toilet paper was BEYOND thin. It was the cheapest toilet paper you can imagine. The towels were also very rough. They did provide free breakfast after we complained about these issues, as well as our door being broken upon arrival. But it is breakfast off of another menu, not their original menu, which i thought was weird. The customer service and food was excellent. The hotel itself was not worth the money. I did notice that the women's bathroom in the lobby is updated and very nice, it had better toilet paper than our upgraded room. Just doesn't make sense.

Such a gem! We were there for my husbands graduation from Training Center Cape May and stumbled on this place. Could not have beat it. Such a great beach side place with a great view from our balcony. The price was also fantastic for what you get. El Coronado and Wildwood Crest will now be a place we put on our list to vacation in the future!

No coffee in the room , can't use the towels at the pool and gift shop was closed so we couldn't by towel, drinks for the night we arrived. We ended up going to the Hotel across the street to use a vending machine because yours were shut off. Nice thing was we could walk out the door to the beach. Oh yeah we arrived around 5pm, thinking there was a restaurant so we could have dinner and relax. Nope only open for breakfast. Any way we did have a place sleep.

I was very disappointed I was 1 floor up from the washer and dryer. It was loud and we couldn't use the balcony from the smell and damp smell from dryer. We love the balcony didn't like not being able to use.
