Cape May is our happy place and we found a great new spot to stay. The property is in the heart of Cape May and walkable to all the great spots. John who runs the property is a great. Our breakfast was very tasty. The room had classic Victorian features and the bed was very comfortable. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing stay at this charming bed and breakfast. The owner, John, went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience, from preparing bicycles for us to offering fantastic local recommendations. The rooms were incredibly comfortable and spotless, and the location was perfect, allowing us to walk everywhere with ease. We definitely plan to return!

This is an attractive, updated 19th-C hotel with a fine dining restaurant downstairs. The staff is attentive, helpful, and cheerful. We stayed on the second floor in the Bronze room, which was well-appointed with a comfortable bed but had a tiny bathroom and shower that were a little difficult for my 6 ft. tall husband to move around in. The air-conditioning unit above the sink in the room leaked the first night we were there, but when we mentioned this to management, they had it repaired by the time we returned to change clothes for dinner. The hotel, like many in Cape May, does not have its own parking lot, so we were given tags so we could park in an area several blocks away. This was a little inconvenient, but since most of our stay was spent in town, not too much of a problem. The hotel is less than two blocks off the downtown mall, so very conveniently located.

I loved the place but extremely disappointed about the parking. There is no parking. I came from out of town and had to park over a block a way with my 12 year old. Just was inconvenient.

B&B close to shopping and beach

The Hugh was excellent, overall. The owners were accommodating and very nice. The B&B was decorated beautifully and clean. The breakfast was delicious and offered eclectic options of sweet or savory. We also felt very safe, as you need to key in a code to enter the front door and your room. My only “complaint” was that the water in the shower wasn’t getting warm. Other than that, we completely recommend The Hugh.

We made a 2-day trip from Atlantic City to Cape May after our 1/2 Iron Man, and it absolutely did not disappoint! We booked the Hugh right before going to Cape May, and it was one of the best choices we could have made! The B&B was sparkling clean and stylish. Even more, the owners were absolutely incredible! They made breakfast for us each morning, which was phenomenal by the way, and they gave us amazing recommendations for food. The owners opened a French restaurant right around the corner, and it was so amazing! You bring your own alcohol with no corkage fee, and they provide the best food. We are definitely going to come back, and if you have any thoughts on whether to book, do not look any further!

Disliked: Amenities
Good location in Cape May. Room was small and bathroom was essentially a tiny shower stall and toilet. No amenities. Toilet overflowed first day. Staff is somewhat unfriendly and seem bothered by any requests (althought literally everything is by request). They did buy us dinner one night to compensate for the plumbing situation, which was nice, however over they need some major hospitality training. Overall not much special.

Liked: Amenities
Difficult time checking in . Rang bell no one answered , went to back of property and owner Sandy seemed very annoyed my husband was back there ,not very welcoming and very rushed. I know It was a holiday weekend but interaction was very cold, the hot water took forever to get hot in shower, bath towels were tattered and no connection for television. Code to open door never worked we had to use our friends code who was also staying there.

Liked: Staff & service
The breakfast was very nice … But I’m not sure why the staff ( manager ) is so unfriendly and unwelcoming. Cold. We noticed this last year when they first opened , we happened to walk by and just wanted to peek inside . The lady practically scolded us. The owner ( male ) seems a bit friendlier. You’re paying a lot of money for a bedroom and bath, no parking , no services , nothing truly special. It is a beautiful building though. I just wish the owners were appreciative of their guests and responded to constructive feedback.

Disappointed

The hosts were very nice and accommodating. The B&B was not what I expected. The bathroom had no counter top to put your toiletries on just a small sink so I was walking back and forth from the bathroom to the bedroom for whatever I needed..,makeup, brush, blower etc. Also there was no parking on the premises so we had to walk about 5-6 blocks to the municipal parking lot which was ridiculous in the heat. And the last thing is that it was about 7 blocks to the beach and although they provide a wagon for your chairs etc it was still a far walk. The description was a little deceiving to me. For the price I paid for a weekend we were disappointed. Just being honest.
