Expected a nice view of the pool but received a view of the stairs and of the cars surrounding the pool. Bed was very uncomfortable and it be bed had sand in the sheets ( when covers were pulled down & not from us) so housekeeping brought us new sheets at 10pm. Expensive to stay and nothing exceptional about the room. Beautiful location but not worth the price.

We have stayed here before in the off season but this was a first summer trip and our first experience in the outdoor pool. While the pool was clean and refreshing there was one main issue that the pool attendant completely ignored since she barely bothered to take her head out of her phone all day. There was a large "South Philly" family that were throwing a football all day long the length of the pool. They were basically taking up the entire middle of the pool and making it difficult to swim without worrying if a football was going to peg you in the head. They nearly hit several small children with the ball as well. I've never been in a crowded public pool where ball playing like this was allowed to continue. As a kid I thought it was as dumb rule but as a parent now with kids I understand why it exists. It would have been nice if management stepped in and asked them to stop. When my wife asked if they could move away from the lower end they give her typical South Philly attitude. We didn't eat at the hotel this trip but I have eaten at Hemingway's before and the food is quite good (but expensive).

Great Hotel!

I had stayed here last summer a couple of times and had a wonderful experience. Naturally I booked again this year when I was coming back to Cape May. There had been some sort of issue with my room but it was resolved and I had actually received an upgrade that exceeded my expectations. I wish I could have stayed longer. This is a clean family friendly hotel.The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The one thing I did notice was the 2nd bathroom did have some sort of water damage that could have been repaired a little better.That is the only negative thing but at least whatever the issue had been it was addressed. I felt it should have been repaired so nobody would know there had been an issue. Anytime I come to Cape May I will definitely be booking here!
