    Relaxing and enjoyable time at this Cape May B&B

    May 08, 2013

    Our first time overnight in Cape May. The hostess, Bonnie, was very pleasant and willing to help with anything that was needed. The B&B was beautifully restored and we enjoyed checking out all the antiques and the old photos.

    John Wesley Inn Review, 4/2013

    April 29, 2013

    Bonnie was a very pleasant host. She provided us with brocures on the local attractions at Cape May. She also served us a delicious breakfast. The Inn was very clean, as was our room. The only downfall of our room was that the bed was not very comfortable and the bathroom was extremely small.

    Not a better B&B out there

    December 30, 2012

    From the moment the door is answered you feel like you are home. Bonnie and staff are just wonderful, warm and inviting, the home is beautifully appointed with a gorgeous sun room to sit and relax maybe have a glass of wine. Any questions you have about town will be answered, the Inn is in walking distance of anywhere to go in town. Also, it is immacculate. Can't wait to stay again, we are not going to wait as long until our next visit. One more thing the breakfast is delicious everytime.

    John Wesley Inn Stay

    November 09, 2012

    The accomondations were execellent as was the quality and presentation of the breakfasts. The on-premise parking was a big selling point. Bonnie, the curator, was extemely accomondating with our reservation and her stories and historical knowledge of Cape May were both entertaining and informative. The attention to detail regarding the Victorian setting was quite impression. The room provided a warm and intimate experience. I'd highly recommend the John Wesley Inn to all B&Ber's, both novices and experts alike.

    Lovely, charming, homey

    October 14, 2012

    The John Wesley Inn & Carriage House is restored with an amazing level of care you can sense in its photos but which living & experiencing is just thrilling & humbling. It's furnished with beautiful antiques throughout, all historic, all carefully and intelligently chosen, yet has all modern amenities (think, a Sheraton). The entire Inn is spotless. The location is stellar, 2 blocks from many Beach Ave restaurants & the Washington Mall both. Turning left out of the Inn goes to a lovely plaza and turning right is the beach. Couldn't be better. The off-street parking is a big bonus. Bonnie serves a very tasty & homemade gourmet breakfast daily with personal touches that are missing from modern American life. I love the Inn's warmth, emotionally & materially. A sunroom in the uppermost floor is a very relaxing and open area in which to relax, daydream, read & slowly enjoy life's finer points. Host Bonnie & husband Lance make you feel like family, their warm loving and pleasant demeanor are emblematic of the town's lovely vibe. They take care of your every need. My only regret is that we had to leave. What a marvelous and relaxing weekend. Can't wait to come back.
