    The weather could of been better but it didn't stop us from enjoying our stay.

    The owner Patrick was very friendly and accommodating. Location of hotel was perfect for walking to all the points of interest.

    A clean, warm and welcoming stay in an historical gem set front-and-center in the crown of Cape May!

    I'm not sure if this is just a product of visiting at the very beginning of the tourist season or perhaps that some construction/renovation was going on during our stay but the building felt a bit "open" in the way of security. I never saw someone at the front desk after checking in and the main door just seemed wide open all the time. Despite this, I never felt unsafe during my stay, rather it would be more accurate to say it was confusing if a bit inconvenient at times. Noise from other guests, especially ones upstairs from us, was an occasional bother but I say this with full understanding that not much can be done about it as it is an historical building with hardwood floors. A similar comment could be made about power outlet availability but again, historical building, we totally understood!

    Breakfast was delicious and the timeframe for it was very generous. Parking situation was very spacious and easy to work with - super appreciated in a place like Cape May! Location was incredible, so close and convenient to downtown and attractions. Staff was very friendly and engaging, it almost felt like being guests at a friend-of-the-family's home. The hallways and room were very bright and even smelled nice.

    Very minor things - would’ve been nice to have a full length mirror in our room and hooks in the bathroom. but honestly none of these would deter me from coming back. Just little easy fixes.

    So charming and clean! Very friendly, helpful staff. Beautiful sitting rooms and huge porch to hang out on and delicious food and drinks!

    I stayed on a Monday - Wednesday in the off season and so the restaurant and bar were not open, but it’s a very nice location close to the Washington pedestrian mall and only a few blocks to the beach.

    Not applicable as we loved everything about our stay.

    The owners and staff were extremely personable and professional. They made us feel not only comfortable but like we were family and they engaged with all of their customers. They keep the hotel spotless! Every meal we had was delicious including breakfast,lunch and dinner. Additionally, the full service bar also served food and the bar staff were attentive and friendly. Moreover, there was quality entertainment on both nights of our stay.. Will definitely be staying with them for future get aways... They create a very relaxing atmosphere.

    Elaine’s is in a great location with easy assigned parking on their property. We were greeted by Joan upon arrival who went above and beyond to make our stay very comfortable. They have a delicious bar and restaurant which was decorated beautifully for Christmas. Our bartender Sandy took great care of us and was super friendly as well as everyone else on staff. The cleaning team does an amazing job- we have never stayed anywhere this spotless. We loved everything about Elaine’s and look forward to our next visit.
