I wanted a reasonably priced place with an Ocean View for my 20 year old daughter’s first time to the shore. I loved that Avondale feels like a neighborhood motel filled with regulars and friendly dedicated staff. The room was comfortable and the convenience to the beach, shopping and dining was perfect. We could park our car and walk everywhere for the weekend. Also bicycle rentals are conveniently located across the street. It was the perfect stay for us.

First time stay
First stay. I prefer to stay at a B&B but they were booked. Chose Avondale for the location and the pool. The room was very clean but did have a strong odor of whatever cleaner was used. It aired out well so that was fine. Bathroom was tiny and dated. Minimal decor. Bed was comfortable but not premium. Pillows were all the same and too firm for me. If I come back I would bring my own pillow. I loved the view from the 3rd floor. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Guests were also very friendly and many were repeats for years. There is a continental breakfast with a few select items but I had breakfast out. If you are good with cereal or a bagel in the morning, this will work for you. Location is optimal if you want to be at the beach and close to town. It can be a little noisy but it settles down after 10p and there is no live, loud music near by. Overall, a good stay and would choose them again.

Great place to stay in Cape May. The best location for beach, dining, entertainment and shopping. Clean and very courteous staff. Complimentary coffee and donuts are available in the morning, and parking is on site. They even gave us beach tags. We had a great stay!

Its a great place to stay, excellent location. And the staff was friendly and helpful. The only downfall was the bedroom. We had a suite. The mattress is too hard making sleeping unbearable. My husband slept on the couch, while I tossed and turned all night. Also the curtains are too small for the window. It was like sleeping with the lights on. All the outside light just illuminated the room through all four sides of the curtains.

We visited during the week to get away from the crowds and have a restful time near the beach. We liked the area and how close we were to shopping and dining. we didn't use the pool and were wondering why it closes at 6.

First Time Guest. Will return.
First time guest impressions: Room was clean, bed was comfortable, room content appeared recently updated, appointments were basic, but served our needs. Off street parking, clean pool w umbrellas & pool towels. Liked about our 2-room suite: 2 AC units so the temperature can be adjusted for each room of the suit; balcony w a view of the ocean w 2 rockers; screened storm door to the balcony; separate sleeping space w a door & an extra/mirror sink so a person can apply makeup or shave and not tie up the bathroom. Staff were friendly, efficient, & helpful. Other pluses: nice sized refrigerator, iron/ironing board, blow dryer. The hotel is centrally located along the ocean making many main destinations walkable which is nice since parking can be difficult to find and often costly. Immediate conveniences: across the street from a beach entrance, directly across the street from a bike rental, pizzaria, bakery, & coffee shop. If the owner is looking for constructive feedback, the following would be pluses: 1) microwaves in the rooms (there is one located in a separate closet on each floor) 2) safes in the rooms 3) upgraded coffee for the complementary continental bkfst. It was intolerable to me. Thankfully, there is a coffee shop and a bakery right across the street (NOTE: the coffee is better and cheaper at the coffee shop than the bakery)

The courteous, kind welcome to the departure date were just perfect. Our room was just what we needed, the walk to the beach short and easy, and a wonderful bakery right across the road. We hope to make Cape May our new favorite vacation spot and we will definitely want to stay at the Avondale.

The view was nice. The parking was horrible. We left for breakfast and came back around 10am and was beeped at and sworn at just pulling in the parking lot to park. Apparently they check special individuals in at 10 am n earlier before the people check out. So they can go to the beach etc. and save on parking fees. Which caused constant stress every time you wanted to go somewhere. Knowing you would never find another parking spot when you returned.
