“This landmark hotel positions you perfectly to experience Cape May, with the beach at its back door and the shops of Washington Street Mall out front. I particularly appreciate its commitment to sourcing ingredients locally for its dining options, and the full-service spa featuring ocean-inspired treatments seems a highlight. While some may find the fees add up, the overall experience seems to capture the essence of a grand seaside vacation.”
