Having never been to Cape May, chose this location based on reviews+price which seemed to equal value. Advance impression was excellent - I called several times with questions and Lena was always personable, knowledgeable and patient. The tri-fecta of customer service! Pulling up in front was happy to see pictures matched actual (as we all have sadly learned, not always the case), check-in was a breeze (again with Lena) and enjoyed a humorous back and forth with Franco. Into the room and - no major disappointments. Perhaps slightly smaller than I expected, but super clean, nicely appointed,

We loved this place! Franco was so personable and helpful on the phone . We stayed in the pet friendly room with our two puppies and It has a kitchenette , stocked with dishes, cookware.
Dish network so there is lots that watch on the TV.
Clean, cozy comfy beds.
We were here in the off season but still this location is perfect to go everywhere!

Great little place out of the way of the hustle and bustle. Extremely clean! As a matter of fact, cleaner than most other places I've ever stayed, especially chain hotels. Lena and Franco were extremely warm and friendly! And the cleaning staff top notch. Close enough to walk down Washington Street to the mall, or to see some of the beautiful homes in the area, even a walk to the beach is not far. We also loved that you are to not be loud after 10:00 p.m. The only downfall....people that think they need to be up at the crack of dawn, carrying on, laughing and hooping it up on the porch

What a hidden gem. This motel is conveniently located within walking distance to what locals refer to as "the mall". The rooms are updated with the necessities like microwaves and small refrigerators and cable TV. Some even have kitchens. We weren't in town long enough to worry about cooking so we had the two queen beds which is somewhat larger of a room than the ones equipped with a kitchen. We were in Cape May for coast guard graduation and this Inn worked out great because we all stayed here. It's very clean with daily service. Another note, they have a few pet-friendly

I stayed for a Coast Guard graduation and this was the perfect place for me; I only needed a one night stay & it was just for me. Check in & check out was fast and easy. My room (room 5 I believe) was nice and clean when I came in. I was also able to check in at 11 since my plane landed so early. The heater worked great but it was a little loud. And in the morning, sunlight came in providing great light for my makeup (-: Bathroom is a little small, & the shower has shampoo/conditioner/body wash dispenser inside. Plenty of towels were provided & there was a mirror on the door. If

What a wonderful Cape May hotel. The owners have taken great care in providing beautiful accommodations with a great attention to the details. Beautiful rooms, a sweet, private courtyard (complete with grills) and a laundry room. Clean, inviting pool. Close to town and the beach. We'll be back!

My girlfriend and I were looking for a place that accepted pets so that we could get away for a nice weekend. We found it. The place was clean and they really pay attention to detail. The landscaping was beautiful and they even had a pool. Only 6 blocks from the beach. Fast Wi-Fi. The owners were amazing! So friendly and accommodating! We would definitely stay again.

I just returned yesterday from a Friday to Sunday stay at The Blue Fish Inn and I was very impressed. It was a very clean and cute room. It had everything I needed, in fact things I brought from home like coffee or pillows, I didn't even need to pack because they supplied so much and then some. My dog was also along for the trip and she enjoyed it too! Not only was the area dog friendly but there was a big park right around the corner. The hotel is so close to the beach as well as the shops and restaurants in the area. If I got in my car, I never had to drive more than five minutes away! Also

"The "Stardust of Cape May""


A cheap hotel that's like a time-warp; a ride that leaves you feeling like you haven't showered in three days. I mean this in a good way, I think. Like the Vegas Stardust!

My buddy and I had two room NON-DOG suite that boasted: two full beds, a separate Queen bedded room, a mini-fridge, a microwave and two tiny yet surprisingly decent flat-screen televisions. Each room also had a window, an air conditioner, a dresser and a mirror that made sure you saw all the angles of awesome that each room possessed.

Plus side: CHEAP. Good wi-fi

Nice little dog-friendly motel I found on the interwebs. took Cara & Rocco there for two nights after the holiday weekend ended. very nice, clean, pleasant staff. parking lot was a little cramped and hard to maneuver around in. nice little park only a block away, quicky drive, boke or walk to the "downtown" Cape May area or beach. off season rates were reasonable, and they charged an extra $25 per night for the dog. had a little kitchen area with 4 small electric burner range (only two worked I think), we made pasta the first night and went out to eat the following.
