Grand Hotel of Cape May

I would not go there again if it was free. The hotel is sorely in need of repair all around barring the lobby. Room was not cleaned when we arrived. Bed was made, all was neat but NOT CLEAN. It was new over old trying to make it look renovated. Bathroom fixtures was all rusted. The tub was chipped and caulking was coming out and partly rusty. The toilet was cracked on inside. The 70’s want their blinds back btw. Also ripped. Hinges on doors rusty. Needed a whole paint job. Microwave and fridge dirty on outside. Micro dirty inside. Our first day, the pool/ parking area had foul odor of garbage. Two days of that til rain washed it away. Outside is old and meds updating. Rails rusting even staircases decrepit. Let’s talk about the beach. Beautiful beach. Last day an attendant comes over and takes away our 12.00 umbrella rental which we just paid for. @ Too windy for this today. They’re blowing away.” Ours was closed because we were aware of the wind. But still he took it away. Can I get my money back? “ I don’t know,” he says. Talk to a manager. “. What??? I made him bring it back to our lounge chairs. Frozen drinks by the pool? Idk what quality beverages they were using but save your money. Go elsewhere.

Check in was great and they provided parking pass and access to facilities before rooms were available. The accommodations are old and bedding was uncomfortable. Towels are coarse and small so make sure you have your own as we did!. There were small insects in kitchenette area. The gym does not have working A/C and the presses had parts broken and rusted so one could not use them. It is very crowded making it difficult to find any parking in their lot. Plus the pools were excessively crowded. Overall, not what one expects when paying over $550 a night.

Very good

Room was outdated and cramped. There were 1/2 dozen flies in the room when we arrived, small insects (spider, ants) crawled around the room at night. The area was nice and so were the hotel staff. Everything else was servely lacking for the prime.

We love Cape May and tried to plan a last minute trip. We chose the Grand Hotel due to it being one of the only available hotels. Thank goodness it was only for one night. While the room itself was mostly clean, it was extremely out of date with popcorn walls and ceilings. It is set up motel style with awful outdoor carpet outside of the room doors with cheap plastic chairs outside of each room. The toilet had no lid to close to flush toilet and the shower was dirty. The pool area had a cheap looking tiki bar and chairs set up around the pool. The indoor pool area looked clean and had updated furniture. I cringed every time we had to go back to our room. Parking was free, but bring your beach gear as there is no set up on the beach and you pay for beach access daily. Overall, we thought the hotel/motel was in poor condition and will not stay here again. The Ocean Resort and Montreal were only a couple of doors down and looked very well maintained.
