Would not recommend this to anyone. The staircase (no elevator) is far too steep and narrow to be considered safe. Our room was very dirty with chipping paint and cobwebs all over the ceiling. Walls very thin, we could hear the family next to us crystal clear. And the very loud bar just below our room made for sleeping impossible.

Shops and restaurants were in walking distance! Also the beach! There wasn't a kitchen in our room or my friends room. It was a nice historic hotel and a fair price. Our only complaint was not knowing there was two booked weddings during our stay. Which limited our access to the restaurant and bar in the hotel. So we learned a lesson about CapeMay, September is wedding season there. Not the hotels fault, but we will ask next time if they are having big events.

We enjoyed the large amount of common area seating including a lovely wrap around porch. There was a dearth of horizontal surfaces in the room.

air conditioning as basic amenity. no TV/mini fridge/microwave in rooms. convenient to the mall and the beach but no direct view. while we enjoyed the historic hotel overall, was not quite a fan of all the stairs to the rooms and lack of dependable nearby (free) parking, especially with all the scheduled events/weddings at the hotel. On a positive note, dinner at the magnolia room restaurant was amazing. fried chicken was most definitely worth the hype.

Bad hotel in a great area. Arrived to find sand all over floors (hadn't been vacuumed), doors that wouldn't close, and loud machine(s) in room above whirring all night long. Definitely would NOT recommend.

There was no TV or hair dryer, which was probably stated in the description so it’s my fault for not realizing. Otherwise it was a very great stay! Super clean rooms and close to the beach and Washington Street Mall!

Beautiful historical hotel with excellent accommodations and staff. Unfortunately area parking is limited, no TVs and shared bathrooms for some units. Additionally no elevator. Breakfast is served for a fee and live music on most days. Beautiful lounges, dining room and porches. Excellent place.
