I've only been to Cape May once and stayed at Avondale By The Sea. It was about 10 years ago so I'm sure things have changed but I did thoroughly enjoy my stay. The hotel was clean, location is great. I was by myself and felt very safe at the hotel and all of Cape May in general. Some things... more

We stayed at the Avondale for two nights April 11 and 12, 2008. The property was immaculate and the rooms were very clean. The new ceiling fans and drapes were a nice addition. The continental breakfast is a great way to start the day. We love the location, walking distance to all the restaurants and shopping Cape May has to... more

The Avondale by the Sea is a great place and very well maintained. The owners do a wonderful job and were very helpful from checking in to giving advice for happenings going on around town. The location along the beach is perfect and right in the middle of it all. We had a very nice King Suite room on the... more

Excellent location with a view of the ocean. We awoke, crossed the street, and had a romantic walk along the shore. Parking is also great for Cape May standards. Breakfast and accommodations are adequate. We would definitely stay at the Avondale again. more

We just returned from spending three nights at the Avondale. The parking situation was excellent, the staff was kind, and the rooms were nice. The location couldn't be better. We also found the hotel to be accommodating to young children as they have a baby pool and they even offered us a crib and diaper pail at no extra charge.... more

OK here's the scoop. Pros: great location, you are close to just about everything. Reasonable room price. Rooms are clean and staff is very friendly. Good breakfast included. Cons: Pool does'nt open until 9:30am and closes promptly at 6pm. No elevators, so count on lugging your luggage up three floors. (the best rooms have private balconies) Do not get an... more

Our family stayed at Avondale by the Sea for a long weekend. After reading the good reviews on Trip Advisor, I was surprised to find that our room was quite dirty. Our socks were black after walking in the room without shoes, which made us very nervous having our baby crawl in the room on the dirty carpet. There were... more

My wife and our two children have been staying at the Avondale for the past seven or eight years, so we were obviously pleased with the accomodations. This year, however, was an incredibly disappointing exception. We checked in, opened the door to our room, and were overwhelmed with the pungent smell of urine. There was no mistaking the odor. My... more

Well, being on vacation several times around the country I'd say this one exceeded my expectations even after reading reviews on tripadvisor.com. I can add this: if you are planning to stay in Cape May for a 3-4 days, week or even more... stay at Avondale. Why? Close proximity to the beach, all kinds of shops and nightlife spots. If... more
