    We love visiting Cape May and will be back but I’m not positive where we’ll stay.

    The property is well kept and has very well placed seating. The Blue Pig Tavern is deserving of 5 stars. The valet staff are extremely helpful.

    The mattress in our room was awful , one side was like being in a hole. When I informed the desk they referred the matter to housekeeping. They flipped the mattress which helped slightly but it really was disappointing. Having vacationed there before and loved it We expected better.
