Top Cape May Hotel Reviews

Congress Hall

8/10 Good

"Everything was great and we were enjoying our stay when, on the second full day there, we were told that no beach umbrellas were going to be available, only the lounges and towels (or cabanas for $100/day). No explanation was given. We assumed it was because there was a little stronger breeze than the day before, and there were no lifeguards on the hotel’s part of the beach. I want to mention that the other hotels and condos around us were allowing umbrellas to be used on the beach that day. The temperature was in the mid eighties so it was not possible to sit in the sun for any length of time without an umbrella. We ended up sitting at the pool the whole day. I suppose it would be good to know beforehand what the hotel’s policy is on this. With only a two full day stay, the beach was our main focus, so this was a big disappointment."

The Beach Club on Madison Avenue

10/10 Excellent

"Everything during our stay was top notch. Lisa at reception was absolutely amazing."
