This motel is right on the beach, and if you can get a beach front room it is a bargain for Cape May. The rooms have a microwave and refrigerator. But, if you don't get a beach front room it feels divey and a little isolated being in a room on the first floor. The hotel is however cheap. Bring... More

I've stayed at the Buckingham Motel for over 20 years for vacations, both in the summer and during Thanksgiving. My brother and his wife have stayed there as well. There is NO better bargain in Cape May than the Buckingham. It's right across the street from the beach and has ample parking. The rooms are cleaned daily w/clean towels every... More

We have stayed at this hotel two years in a row and are returning this summer. It's such a great value for the area, and we typically spend most of our time at the beach or walking around window shopping. The rooms are clean and it's walking distance to everything. More

I was in here in September .My husband and I wanted to enjoy a little romantic getaway together enjoying the beach, sun, and fresh air. We have been coming down to Cape May for years. Then last year the prices went up a little bit. I’m sorry, but this is a little ridiculous .Seriously was just I don’t get it.... More

This is NOT the Ritz....just a motel room...clean...but extremely outdated....If you're looking for an affordable place to sleep in Cape May, then this is it. Barbeques provided outside are antiques as well...loved the plastic flowers! LOL!!! More

I read the reviews on trip advisor before I booked and I thought it would be much better. Thank God I only stayed there one night. True the room was pretty clean and it had many conveniences like a fridge, microwave, etc. But, I dreaded the thought of having to spend the night in that bed. The bed looked about... More

Motel was very nice considering the competitive rate. Well-run, and only a block from the Grand Hotel and new Ocean Club, so walking distance to good bars & restaurants. Beach right across the street. The window unit for air conditioning featured a constant-speed fan, so that kept outside noise out. First time I've ever been given a remote control for... More

We have stayed here numerous times through the years and have tried several other places in Wildwood Crest. This is our top choice. Management staff (Janet) is always pleasant. Rooms are large with microwave and minifrig, small round table w/2 chairs ,and are always very clean and the price is very good. Motel is small: one story with no indoor... More

Stayed one night in an ocean view room. The location is ideal - across the street from the beach, and walking distance to town, but far enough away that it's quiet. Staff was friendly and helpful. Free parking is convenient. The rooms are clean enough and a good size. The furniture and bathroom are dated, and the bathroom is smallish,... More
