I'm a little surprised at some of the negative reviews here. Yeah, it's overpriced, but what hotel in Cape May isn't? Since we were traveling with my in-laws, we booked the Ocean View suite. With taxes and fees it came to $440 a night, but it was cheaper than two rooms at $250, plus fees, you know? There were actually... more

Well this was the only place without a minimum stay requirement so we were kind of forced to take it. It has a good location, just by the shore and even though it does not have many rooms that face the sea, it has balconies in every room from which we could see the sea. The people were friendly and... more

We arrived 35 minutes before the official check-in time of 3:00 PM. Desk clerk refused to check if our room was ready...He said he would 'get into trouble' if he checked us in early. So we waited in the second floor reception area along with 3 other families who had tons of luggage, toys, and crying children. Exactly at 3... more

Not a good hotel, not a bad hotel, just a hotel. But the price in summer is just over the top. I know Cape May is expensive but this was hotel was double what you'd pay for an inner city New York hotel, and all you get is 70's decor and very small rooms. It was clean, reasonably quiet and... more

I took my Mom here along with her dog to celebrate her 80th birthday. Positives about the hotel are: allows dogs(4th floor only), across from the beach, quiet at night(even on the doggie floor) Nice view of ocean with balconies, had covered parking or no meter street parking behind hotel. Negatives were: disappointed in aesthetics of the room(no upgrades), no... more

Much like any beach during the summer...the rates are inflated. We are very active tourists and hardly spend time in our room. We chose the Palace because they allow dogs and we wanted to bring our new Boston Terrier Pup. Unbeknown to us, the manager and one of the housekeeping staff both own and love Bostons. The housekeeper brought in... more

Just like everyone else, we read the reviews of this hotel before we stayed there. Even though some were bad - we took our chances and I'm glad that we did! It was a cheap hotel (hard to find in Cape May) pretty close to good bars and Washington Mall area and right on the beach! The service was great... more

We have stayed at the Palace Hotel probably 5 times in recent years. It is a smaller hotel with no pool and no real common areas, except the breakfast/conference room. The hotel is nonsmoking. This is a big plus for me and the rooms generally do not have a musty odor. Most of the rooms are a good size with... more

I have to admit that after I read some of the reviews on this property I was a little hesitant that I had made reservations at this hotel. But after we arrived and settled into our room my fears were diminished. The staff was very friendly and our room was very clean. We were very close to the beach entrance,... more
