Winter in Cape May
The house is beautiful. The room was spacious and clean. I wish the breakfast was more health conscious and used better ingredients and products. Other than that it is a very nice place. Very convenient to everywhere. Would stay again.

Absolutely lovely property Well kept and cozy We had the suite and enjoyed the jacuzzi tub And room was spacious Only downfall is 3rd floor would not be good for elderly or anyone who has a hard time with stairs. The breakfast was also very good. We will definitely go back

Liked: Staff & service
It would have been nice to be greeted by the innkeeper instead of just sent emails and told to pick up your keys from the table and leave them there when you check out. The breakfast was good.
