The website says the rooms were completely renovated but the rooms on the first level appear to only have had the bathroom renovated and a new floor in the refrigerator area. Old, musty rugs and the room had such a mildew smell that we had to keep our clothes in the car. TV didn't work, refrigerator was turned off, outside... More

We stayed at the West Cape Motel when our plans changed. The room was comfortable and would be great for someone traveling with children. While it wasn't walking distance to the beach and town area it was nearby. An outdoor pool was available for a break. It was quiet and reasonably priced. Very clean.

We are sorry to hear you had were unsatisfied with your stay. If food is left out in kitchens they will attract ants, however we do not have a record of you checking out early or complaining of ants. We believe the actual source of your displeasure stems from the alleged double charge you reference. Hence a negative review being... More

We stayed the end of August 2011 as a last minute getaway. The location is not in close proximity to the beach (at least a 10 minute walk) and you will certainly need a car to travel into the main town area (5 minute drive). But, it was quiet, the room was clean and big (and a renovated bathroom) and... More

We got this room because it was the cheapest hotel in the area without heading up to Cape May Courthouse. My expectations were more or less calibrated correctly (it beat sleeping in a car). My only disappointment is that there was no free WiFi (I've stayed at similarly priced hotels that include this). It also took a while for the... More

Made reservations ahead requesting a room we can cook in. Arrived in our room to find the place had no microwave, no pots and pans, only a small fridge, a poor working two burner electric stove. This was not the remodeled place as stated (seems some places think a fast coat of cheap paint is remodeling). AC works poorly, we... More

My wife and I decided to visit Cape May, and after trying to find available rooms, we found one here. I was hesitant at the beginning but going into the room calmed me down. Very clean overall room and bathroom. Some bugs, but it's expected. The motel looks very good and the price is amazing.
