We had a great stay! The beach service and pools were highlights of the accommodations. The two story room with ocean view was perfect for our family of 4. The only improvements we could note would be more dresser space, quicker drains (hard to keep up with sand, I'm sure), and would prefer key card access be required to upper floors. Would recommend and would stay again!

Bad experience at Grand Hotel of Cape May
This is my 3r time in this Hotel. I always had a good experience but this time unfriendly, unprofessional staff named Karen used an inappropriate tone and behavior when she knock our room threating my family and me with the police, and recording our conversation with her cellphone without my consent. She accusing us for noises and dogs barking that was not coming from our room. We went dinner and this was the surprise when we came back. I invited her to come inside the room and check for everything that she was accusing but she denied to enter. This person needs to be trained in order to work with hotel costumers. I don't think Im ever coming back to this hotel. Beside the experience with the staff they also need to improve the pool cleaning, the water and walls of the outdoor pool was very oily from sunscreens. The kitchen appliances very limited and I suggest to buy your own coffee for your stay because coffee was very bad flavor and quality.

I paid $400 for this hotel for one night. I was on the2nd floor. This must be a super old building they trie do renovate because the in solution was awful. You can hear everyone above you running around stomping etc. The people above me had like 4 children in their room. All you hear is running and foot steps till 12 am. Didn’t get any sleep until they went to sleep. That’s the only negative review. Other than that, friendly staff. Pool is nice. Nice people around. Just awful insulation. If you stay here, REQUEST A ROOM ON THE TOP FLOOR.

Pros - indoor and outdoor pool. Pool bar. Restaurant on property. Quick response from maintenance. Kitchenette convenient. Cons - lack of outlets in rooms. Gym is small with old rusty equipment. Game room has broken machines. Cleaning crew not consistent. Our floor was probably never mopped over the four days we stayed at the property.

The hotel is very clean. We wish they gave a lounge chair per person, not 2 per room. There were four of us and for the rate we were charged per night it’s a lot to charge another $20 each for a chair. Otherwise staff was great. We had Christine had checkin & she was lovely. Hotel is centrally located from many hot spots without being too close so it’s still quiet. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice hotel, Restaurant bad service
Great room, and location. Clean and friendly staff. Did not like that after spending over 2K for entire trip that we were not made priority to be seated in restaurant. Were told to wait an hour or sit by bar while the public was seated so we went elsewhere each meal. Staff taking orders for food by pool were super nice and efficient with a line of requests always.
