    I stayed in 3 different rooms during my stay and all were lovely. The first floor rooms were small but quaint...furniture is unique; bathrooms very nice. The third floor room I had originally booked was gorgeous & spacious, but the many steps are steep and my arthritis just couldn't do it, so the staff graciously exchanged rooms for me and even gave me a room credit on the lesser $ rooms. Breakfast(full) on the outdoor porch was VERY satisfying, delicious and pleasantly serene. The location is phenomenal and the private assigned parking is a Godsend! The entire manor is surprizingly quiet at any hour. The young ladies in employ, were all friendly ...but the highlight of personalities here was the owner, whose elderly father keeps watch of the pkg lot...just seeing her have lunch with him and sit and spend time with him daily, warmed my heart sooo much! I like Good people!!! ...and I found them here! I attended the dinner theatre my first nite for "Gone with the Werewolves" and it was Hysterically funny(I'm still chuckling)...the cast was adorable and talented. Dinner was tres yummy and a really fab deal. I will definitely return again one day.

    We stayed at this Inn October of 2010. Our room was beautiful and very comfortable. Felt it was a bit overpriced for the time of year though. The breakfasts were outstanding with a hot choice each morning and there were outdoor tables on the porch if you preferred eating outside (which we did). The Inn was within walking distance to the beach, shopping and restaurants. The Inn has a fabulous bar and restaurant with a dinner theatre. The shows are reasonably priced and fabulous!! Loved it there!

    Wow – am I the last person on the planet to find out about Elaine’s in Cape May? Earlier this summer I was discussing my Labor Day shore plans with friends, and 2 of them insisted that I HAD to stay at Elaine’s. So I did, and was not disappointed. The rooms are comfortable and QUIET, the breakfast buffet was terrific with different hot choices each morning (cooked to order, not lying out in chafing dishes for 4 hours). In keeping with the “haunted” theme we did the ghost tour and had dinner in the Haunted Mansion. When our exhausted kids hit the sack my husband and I enjoyed a drink at the bar. It was just a terrific weekend. I’ve never stayed anywhere like it and can’t wait to go back during the Christmas holidays.
