Located on the beachfront in beautiful Victorian Cape May, the Sea Crest Inn offers sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean. Come enjoy Cape May's spectacular sunrises and sunsets from your balcony in a peaceful adult setting.

Lock up your valuables. Have stayed at the hotel for many years, even with its scratchy towels and zero water pressure. After our most recent stay we left something behind in the room after we checked out. Called the hotel first thing the next morning. Hotel manager said they would ask housekeeping. Long story short, I had to call the hotel about 4 or 5 times to get a response because no one ever called me back. Manager said they did not find the item. We know for a fact we left it and where exactly we left it. Manager was indifferent and basically could care less. So our conclusion is that whoever

Clean. Pleasant staff. We had a two room suite with a kitchenette. The suite was huge. Maid service was excellent. No complaints.

Highly recommend. What sold us was the heated pool and jacuzzi that are both still open in October! It was a treat! Not many places have these open off season. The room was clean and spacious. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

What a fantastic stay and a lovely place!
We had a bedroom, a living room with fully outfitted kitchen, and an adjoining balcony. Everything was absolutely spic and span, not just us but the entire inn.
Sea Crest has modern concrete construction, unlike other hotels and inns there built from wood, so it’s easier to keep pristine. The layout is friendly and inviting, four stories high in an L shape around a central pool. Our balcony had an unobstructed Southern view overlooking the pool and facing the ocean, beautiful day and night. The atmosphere was quiet.
Its location is attractive because

We were secretly charged an extra $113 dollar on our card after we already checked out and were on our way back home. When I called them their explanation was that we had a baby in our room and failed to tell them that. As new parents, we didn't know we had to list our 10 month old since she was not using a bed. We weren't trying to save any money or pull a fast one, we just didn't know. Instead of being professional and explaining this to us, the staff and Sea Crest Inn just didn't tell us anything and waited until we were in another state to charge us. Very bad business. We were there 4 nights

No frills spot I found and was a good place to stay. Definitely had a good bed and the room clean. I walk across the street and sleep on beach for a few hour each day and it was a blast

At the front desk ...Faith & Julianne could not be more incredible....they were beyond courteous, professional....and they saw our one son is a Marine ...I explained to them both we wanted to stay overnight before he left ...they both gave us a wonderful deal my husband and I which I wasn't expecting beach front and our 3 boys had their own room. These girls deserve extra acknowledgement....because from a mom that's already missing her son terribly and he's not leaving for a few more days...thank you both for giving me and my husband special quality time and beautiful memories....we will DEFINITELY

We stayed at Sea Crest Inn three times now and they never disappoint. It’s family owned and that shows and a has nice friendly relaxing feel to it. Always clean, great amenities, very nice rooms and location is perfect. Appears to attracts a little older crowd of vacationers. Need to mention in our last stay we screwed up and reserved one day less then we intended, so on our way to breakfast the SC checked with us on moving out that day. We were completely surprised and would still need somewhere to stay and the SC was completely booked. So Ken the building manager and super all-around caring

We've been going to Sea Crest Inn for about 30 years. It has a great location and the rooms are comfortable and well maintained. Add to that a pool and hot tub, right across the street from the ocean, and you get a nice relaxing vacation in Cape May.

My husband and I began our love affair with Cape May in 1996. The first place we ever stayed was the Sea Crest and I can't recommend it more highly! The elder owners took such pride in their lovely property...beautiful gardens, spacious rooms, and views to die for. I have referred family members who return every year. We actually bought a bungalow and later a home and were resident for 16 years. After we relocated, we now return to the Sea Crest, where we started. The original owners passed on but their son and family have continued the tradition. It is a wonderful place to visit..

This is our go to place to stay in Cape May! Friendly staff, super clean rooms and property! Beach front is a big plus for us. Love the suites. Plenty of parking under cover. Nice pool as well. This is our home away from home. I highly recommend!

We stayed a king size room. It was a nice size. We had a ocean front room. The third floor. Nice view of the ocean and for people watching. The bed was a little firm and the lighting for night time is slightly inadequate.
Everything was clean. The common areas, and our room. I am very picky and see everything. Nothing to see here folks. Spic and span. Spotless.
I can overlook pretty much anything for that cleanliness and the view.

No frills motel/inn right across from the beach. Pool area was clean. Staff were extremely friendly. Rooms could use more lighting (specifically the breezeway rooms).

This hotel would be a solid 5 in my opinion...rooms are super clean...staff super friendly...pool and location are amazing! Bathrooms are sooo nice! It's a very quiet senior vibe too which I love even though I'm only in my 40's!
My only negative is the smoking...I'm sorry I'm not a smoker...and detest the smell & habit...especially while laying poolside and the smell from the hotel guests puffing away on their balcony's starts to blanket you...yuck...Also waking up abruptly to the cigarette cloud/nasty smell coming in our room due to our hotel neighbor thinking

Very rude and unfriendly staff. We stayed here for a wedding and they stalked my sister down trying to figure out what rooms her kids were staying in. They approached her mother in law, without notifying us, and scolded them about having the kids stay in their room, which they weren't even staying there. I ordered delivery food, and they wouldn't let the delivery guy to the door, we had to walk down and retrieve it. They continuously ran out of towels at the pool. We were part of a wedding block and at 2:00 our hotel room wasn't cleaned, I asked them to clean it because the shuttle

We always stay at the Sea Crest Inn and have never had a bad time! Love the front desk staff....always going above board to see we are comfortable and happy. We stumbled upon this hotel after staying at many throughout the years in Cape May. Now, we won't stay anywhere else. They updated/upgraded the kitchens and bathrooms. Rooms are large and, most importantly, very clean. Plus, their rates are very reasonable. Highly recommend!

I am a handicapped person who travels with a small dog. This hotel refused to book a room for us. On two different occasions they questioned me about my service dog. If your traveling with a service dog, don't ask when making a reservation here.

We stayed at the Inn on October 1-2, 2017. Great location right on the quiet end of Beach Avenue, with in walking distance of spectacular sunsets.
We reserved a room the week before and initially was hoping to snag an ace an front room but they were booked. However, they set us up in a room that still had great views of the ocean and walkway.
Starting with check in on Sunday afternoon, the ladies at the front desk were super friendly and made us feel right at home. Kathy, who had taken my initial phone call the week prior, was super nice and helpful with local information. The other lady with

Best motel ever! Cleanliness - 5 stars! Friendliness - 5 stars! Great views, perfect beach access, helpful staff, hot tub and pool are clean and ready for those after-beach times. Reasonably priced for superb services. Not a rowdy drinking establishment. Yes we recommend it to couples and adults. Best motel ever on Cape May!

A very old hotel / Inn. The room A/C units are window units installed in the wall. The room smelled musty when we first walked in. The positive was the fact the room was extremely clean. Our room faced the main road so with the slider open, it was very noisy. Just an okay Inn. For the price you would expect something nicer.
