The location is excellent with great access to beach and town. The street is quiet and the homes in the area are beautiful. The service was great. The hotel needs some TLC- there were even some small things that could be done to improve it. There was peeling paint on the ceiling and rust around radiators. Walls would have hooks and no paintings. The decor has not been updated in a long time. So overall a good experience that could have been made great with some attention to detail and basic maintenance.

All the housekeepers were excellent. They were friendly and were very helpful. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Afternoon cookies were a delightful treat along with tea. The room was comfortable and clean. The property was quiet and relaxing. We will definitely visit again and recommend to others.

Dormer house itself shows its age and may not suite the younger crowd, but evokes a gentile atmosphere of the Victorian era very pleasant for those who appreciate that age.

Nice room with sitting area and bathroom with walk-in shower. Very comfortable king size bed. Great location for walking to washington street mall and beach, convention center and many restaurants. Can park once and walk but also easy drives to birding, wineries, brewery and distillery.

Horrible. Curtains did not block out light. Breakfast was not healthy and dry. Staff not helpful and people were noisy. Staff did nothing to assist. We had to leave early and were in spring break. So very disappointed. They still have not addressed my concerns via email

Charming getaway

Perfect location and reasonably priced. Like much of Cape May, the amenities are Victorian era with updates, so the bathroom was nit ideal. But charming decor and breakfast.
