Delightful stay. Far too short! Plan to return!

It was AMAZING but too quick. The information from the property was spot on and valuable, including where to park (very close by) if hotel area was full, directions to things in the area, restaurants, bars, activities. Most relaxing night of real sleep! The property is convenient (less than 20 minutes) to the Cape May-Lewes Ferry. So much “great stuff” packed into the room and this property. It was immaculate and modern and in exceptional Ly comfortable condition.
