Innkeeper Response
Thank you for your comments. We are sorry that you had so much problem with parking. Parking has always been a problem in Cape May as the Victorian town never thought about cars when these beautiful houses were built in the late 1800's. In an effort to accomodate guests, we provide off street parking in the Cape May city lot about a 7 -10 minute walk back to the hotel. Since we are centrally located in the the center of town and historic district most guests find that they do not need to use their cars after arrival as walking is the best way to see Cape May. There are directions back from the Cape May city lot to our hotel on the back of the parking permit. We explain to all our guests upon arrival how to get to the city lot. We also explain in our confirmation letters where the lot is for our guests. We are glad that meals were enjoyable, service was good and that other than the parking issues our guests had an enjoyable stay.
