What initially made us book SeaCrest was that it was an oceanfront property, locally owned, and reviews from returning visitors. We couldn't have been happier with our stay. The hotel was clean, spacious, well taken care of. The staff were very accommodating, responsive, and assisted us with a late check in. On site parking, pool, and tub were bonuses. Very accessible to the shops and restaurants downtown as well as the bay and lighthouse. We would absolutely stay here again! read more

Friendly staff, clean rooms, right on the water. We left a charger in the room, and the staff notified us and offered to mail it back to us.

My wife and I have stayed at The Seacrest about 20 or so times (we have been going there for our summertime trips for over a decade.) We really like the place, but one thing no one mentions in reviews are the significant room price increases each year, yet not much of that money is being spent on needed room updates. Same aging fridge, same old mattresses, same ancient bathroom sinks and showers. The Seacrest owners might want to consider some reasonable room updates that they can afford, given the prices they now charge. read more

Stayed here for a couple of nights and loved it. The place was clean and had such a cute beach vibe. The location is amazing as it is right across the street from the beach. The only downside is that you have to still pay daily for the beach where some other places or air bnbs have badges that they give you to use so you don't have to pay $10 (cash only) for access to the beach. There's a nice pool and jacuzzi but ideally you're coming here for the beach. I'd stay here again read more

The best thing about this place is the view from just about any room (except the breezeway which is priced accordingly.) Rooms are super clean, and the pool area is gorgeous. I feel they have the best pool in Cape May as it's right across from ocean, and the deck is spacious with plenty of comfy seating and even a shaded gazebo. Because of the Sea Crest's location, you can get a very good view of the sunset at The Cove from the ocean front rooms. I strongly suggest paying a slightly higher price for the higher floor rooms that are ocean front because you can see down the entirety of Beach Ave from your room or balcony area (which even has chairs and a table!) The crown jewel of the place is its Manager, John Cooke. He knows everything about everything Cape May related and can suggest the perfect place for whatever you're looking for. He also works very hard to keep guests happy. I'm praying that the current owners don't sell this place one day, it's truly one of the best places to stay in Cape May due to its location at Broadway Beach and away from the hustle of West Perry Street. I would have given 5 stars, but the prices just went up (like every other place,) and this will limit my trips there : o ( read more

Another wonderful vacation in the books here. Such a great setting and wonderful staff make this our home away from home at the beach. This is the view from our room..... read more

Sea Crest Inn - Sea Creat Inn, Cape May. Does it get any better than this? I don't think so!!! - Hotels Near Me - Cape May, New Jersey

We stayed a king size room. It was a nice size. We had a ocean front room. The third floor. Nice view of the ocean and for people watching. The bed was a little firm and the lighting for night time is slightly inadequate. Everything was clean. The common areas, and our room. I am very picky and see everything. Nothing to see here folks. Spic and span. Spotless. I can overlook pretty much anything for that cleanliness and the view. read more

A great spot. We came here after the Labor Day rush with family. Good service. Clean rooms. Fabulous beach. The pool and jacuzzi were great too. Highly recommend! read more

Great location. You can walk downtown in a few min and the beach is right across the street. Rooms clean. Pool nice. Friendly staff. We'll be back. read more

Highly recommend. What sold us was the heated pool and jacuzzi that are both still open in October! It was a treat! Not many places have these open off season. The room was clean and spacious. The staff was very friendly and helpful. read more

What a fantastic stay and a lovely place! We had a bedroom, a living room with fully outfitted kitchen, and an adjoining balcony. Everything was absolutely spic and span, not just us but the entire inn. Sea Crest has modern concrete construction, unlike other hotels and inns there built from wood, so it's easier to keep pristine. The layout is friendly and inviting, four stories high in an L shape around a central pool. Our balcony had an unobstructed Southern view overlooking the pool and facing the ocean, beautiful day and night. The atmosphere was quiet. Its location is attractive because we find Cape May's Southern edge the coziest and the beach there the most beautiful. Yet it's only a brief walk to the town's picturesque and vibrant center. The front desk was friendly and attentive throughout and even before we got there when we called for advice on their various layouts. This is a very well run establishment indeed. We'll be back. read more

No frills motel/inn right across from the beach. Pool area was clean. Staff were extremely friendly. Rooms could use more lighting (specifically the breezeway rooms). read more

Every time we stay here we have a wonderful time. The staff is very accommodating and everyone is friendly. We love coming here because a good time is gua read more

This is our go to place to stay in Cape May! Friendly staff, super clean rooms and property! Beach front is a big plus for us. Love the suites. Plenty of parking under cover. Nice pool as well. This is our home away from home. I highly recommend! read more

This was my husband's and my first visit to Cape May. We are picky, but not high maintenance travelers. If you are looking for a clean room in a motel that is directly across the street from the beach than this may be your place. There is plenty of parking, but you won't need your car. It is easy to walk just about anywhere you want to go. We stayed at the Sea Crest for three nights in August. We were in room 301 which had a King sized bed with a comfortable mattress, sliding glass doors with screens to enjoy the breeze and the excellent view, and a reasonably sized closet. The staff in the front office was friendly at check-in and check-out and gladly answered any questions we had during our stay. The motel does not provide beach tags or beach service, but there is a company on the beach across the street that rents chairs and umbrellas. We paid $24 for one umbrella and two chairs for the day plus a tip to the kid who carried it and set it up for us. We did not use the pool, but it looked clean and inviting. On day two our room was not serviced until after 2PM and by then we were back in our room resting. We exchanged dirty towels for clean ones when the housekeeper came by without incident. I would stay here again if I were going to be in Cape May for a short period of time. If I were going to stay for a longer period of time, I would stay in a resort with a restaurant/bar on premises, beach service, suites with multiple rooms and full kitchens. read more

This hotel would be a solid 5 in my opinion...rooms are super clean...staff super friendly...pool and location are amazing! Bathrooms are sooo nice! It's a very quiet senior vibe too which I love even though I'm only in my 40's! My only negative is the smoking...I'm sorry I'm not a smoker...and detest the smell & habit...especially while laying poolside and the smell from the hotel guests puffing away on their balcony's starts to blanket you...yuck...Also waking up abruptly to the cigarette cloud/nasty smell coming in our room due to our hotel neighbor thinking it's a smart idea to sit next to our door at midnight and puff away right next to our door... But other than that I highly recommend this place as a super clean relaxing beachside hotel! read more

I am a handicapped person who travels with a small dog. This hotel refused to book a room for us. On two different occasions they questioned me about my service dog. If your traveling with a service dog, don't ask when making a reservation here. read more

My husband and I began our love affair with Cape May in 1996. The first place we ever stayed was the Sea Crest and I can't recommend it more highly! The elder owners took such pride in their lovely property...beautiful gardens, spacious rooms, and views to die for. I have referred family members who return every year. We actually bought a bungalow and later a home and were resident for 16 years. After we relocated, we now return to the Sea Crest, where we started. The original owners passed on but their son and family have continued the tradition. It is a wonderful place to visit...and just "be". read more

Best motel ever! Cleanliness - 5 stars! Friendliness - 5 stars! Great views, perfect beach access, helpful staff, hot tub and pool are clean and ready for those after-beach times. Reasonably priced for superb services. Not a rowdy drinking establishment. Yes we recommend it to couples and adults. Best motel ever on Cape May! read more

I was at Sea Crest in June and I went back in September We had the best time the people couldn't have been nicer or accommodating The room was beautiful I got a beautiful view of ocean and a cool breeze I would recommend the Sea Crest highly read more

Very rude and unfriendly staff. We stayed here for a wedding and they stalked my sister down trying to figure out what rooms her kids were staying in. They approached her mother in law, without notifying us, and scolded them about having the kids stay in their room, which they weren't even staying there. I ordered delivery food, and they wouldn't let the delivery guy to the door, we had to walk down and retrieve it. They continuously ran out of towels at the pool. We were part of a wedding block and at 2:00 our hotel room wasn't cleaned, I asked them to clean it because the shuttle was leaving at 3:30, and their excuse was the hotel is busy so were running late- to me that sounds like you're understaffed and you should not be cheap and hire another person. It's Saturday, always a busy check in/out day. Never again. read more

Perfect for the price! Right across from the beach, pool hot tub, clean and friendly/accommodating staff. Only a 10-12min walk to the downtown shopping and restaurants. Great place! read more

just ok. no safe in the rooms. cleaning is slow. probably need more staff for cleaning. pool opens at 9 but most days they were just cleaNing it at 9. 449 per night. paying for location. if you don't mind walking a few blocks to the beach stay somewhere less expensive. rooms look like any other rooms at less expensive hotels. rooms look nicer online of course. read more

Came to Cape May for Memorial Day weekend and stayed at the Sea Crest Motor Inn. I was quite pleased with this motel. We stayed on the top floor (4th) in a nice, clean room with an ocean view. I especially liked the layout of our room. When you enter the room you enter the bedroom with a "small" Queen bed. All the better to snuggle up to your partner in. There is also a TV in here for those of you who need noise to fall asleep to. In retrospect it would have been helpful to cancel out the 1 minute love making session of the splooge session, their word choice, not mine, of the young couple in the room next to us. After the bedroom you have a nice, large, and oh so bright bathroom. Follow the short hall and you have a kitchenette complete with stove top, microwave, sink, and standard size refrigerator. The connected living room also has a plasma TV. The interesting thing is there are no partitions between the balconies. It's honesty policy here boys and girls. It seems a large majority of people who stay at this hotel prefer to lounge at the pool, but the beautiful beach is literally right across the street. Don't be lame. You came to Cape May to go to the beach and gorge on seafood. read more

We booked 30 rooms over the summer for my wedding and the Sea Crest Inn could not have been more accommodating. Jill booked the rooms for our wedding and was very sweet and helpful. All of our guests were greeted with a smile and could not stop raving about the service. The rooms were very clean and had a beautiful view of the ocean. I highly recommend the Sea Crest Inn. read more

We stayed at the Inn on October 1-2, 2017. Great location right on the quiet end of Beach Avenue, with in walking distance of spectacular sunsets. We reserved a room the week before and initially was hoping to snag an ace an front room but they were booked. However, they set us up in a room that still had great views of the ocean and walkway. Starting with check in on Sunday afternoon, the ladies at the front desk were super friendly and made us feel right at home. Kathy, who had taken my initial phone call the week prior, was super nice and helpful with local information. The other lady with her was super nice also. The room was on the third floor with a southern ocean view. The room was very clean and up-to-date. The bathroom made us feel "at home" with it's nicely appointed fixtures and decor, all of which were clean. The bathroom had a hair dryer, and various soaps and shampoo in case you forgot those items. Plenty of crisp clean towels and wash cloths. The room had a wall unit air conditioner, small refrigerator, and a small coffee pot, non-Kuerig type. They had some single serve coffee packs with cups. The bed linens and pillows were very clean and comfortable. As far as the beds comfort, those are personal preferences and, for us, it was fine. They also have WiFi which seemed to work fine. Again, people have different expectations but it worked fine for us. Sadly, due to an emergency, we had to leave during the middle of the night. There is a contact number and someone answered right away and gave us instructions. It's not a big chain place but, for Cape May, it fits right in with the area and adds to the enjoyment and character. We hope to make another trip around Christmas and when we do, the Sea Crest Inn will be our choice! read more

See all

A very old hotel / Inn. The room A/C units are window units installed in the wall. The room smelled musty when we first walked in. The positive was the fact the room was extremely clean. Our room faced the main road so with the slider open, it was very noisy. Just an okay Inn. For the price you would expect something nicer. read more

My friend and I checked in the day before the 4th of July. We promptly were give. The keys to our room and checked in. The receptionist names Jill was our hero throughout our visit. We had some requests while we were there And Jill came through for us on several occasions! The room was clean and spacious and the pool cool and inviting. I would definitely stay there again! Special shout out to Jill who made our stay memorable! read more

We always stay at the Sea Crest Inn and have never had a bad time! Love the front desk staff....always going above board to see we are comfortable and happy. We stumbled upon this hotel after staying at many throughout the years in Cape May. Now, we won't stay anywhere else. They updated/upgraded the kitchens and bathrooms. Rooms are large and, most importantly, very clean. Plus, their rates are very reasonable. Highly recommend! read more

Yes, as good as it gets. The rooms are so clean and comfy! The staff is second to none! Our vacation could not have been better. Everything was perfect. Our new little home in CM, always read more

If you are going to vacation in Cape May or just a weekend getaway, this is the place to stay. Not only is the hotel beautiful from the inside and out, it's the location that is the cherry on the top. Located right across the street from the beach and in the middle of the strip where you can find hundreds of stores and restaurants. Being a guy who loves going to the beach, the hardest part is always finding a spot for the car, thats where this location comes into play. The beach is located across the street which makes it very convenient leaving your car at the hotel and walking to the beach with your cooler, chairs, umbrellas, and other beach essentials. They provide a parking lot for only those who stay with them, so you do not need to have to worry about looking for spots. This alone could be the selling point of the hotel. Above all the pretty and nice accommodations that this hotel provides, its the staff and their duty to be welcoming and kind to everyone that makes your experience here really special. I highly recommend this place. If you don't stay at the Sea Crest Inn on your stay at Capy May, you didn't do Cape May. -that kid from brooklyn read more

Such a cute, quaint, clean, friendly, very accommodating little spot. Highly satisfied with our time here! Thank you!

We just wrapped up a four-day stay at the Sea Crest Inn. The motel is impeccably clean. We had a two-room suite with two large double beds, sitting room with sofa and chair, wide screen TV and a dining table and chairs. We also had a balcony that overlooked the ocean and the pool area. We enjoyed a very clean room, newly refurbished bath and a full sized refrigerator in the suite also. I saw some negative comments about the service on some of the review sites, which could not be further from our experience. The desk staff was cordial and helpful. They even loaned us two beach badges saving us the cost of buying passes. There is also free WIFI but its availability inside the room was limited. The clientele is older, but that appears to be true of most of Cape May. The pool was beautiful with plenty of comfortable lounge chairs and a hot tub too. I see why the Sea Crest enjoys so many favorable reviews. We add our voices to those who rave about the Sea Crest Inn. read more

Had the opportunity to spend one night in Cape May at the last minute. Our first choice of places to stay at was the Sea Crest. The staff was able to easily accomodate our spur of the moment request. The room was clean, quiet, recently refurbished and conveniently located. Just outside the motel, we ran into a nice out-of-town couple that was considering the Sea Crest as a place to stay for their first visit to Cape May. We happily endorsed this motel and they booked a three-night stay here. I'm sure they weren't disappointed. read more

Nice place, friendly staff. We had a two room suite with a kitchenette. It had a sink, , coffee maker, full size refrigerator, two stove burners and microwave oven. Everything was clean and worked but the bathroom sink lacked a stopper. It has a nice pool and is across the street from the beach, right at one of the entrances. They have lots of covered parking. The restaurant two blocks away offers a 10% discount for guests. We had a great stay here, just wish it was longer! We would definitely stay here on our next trip to Cape May. read more

Sea Crest is across the street from the beach at the south end of Beach Avenue strip. Our room, the pool, and the hot tub were all very clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. Quiet. We had a nice ocean view from a south facing room that wasn't advertised as having one. We arrived very late and the desk person gave us advice and directions for a good dinner place that was still open. We'd stay there again. read more

They are so nice! Picked me up from the bus station AND dropped me off, in their personal vehicles. Room was very clean, quiet and comfortable. read more

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a night. We were given a room without a balcony and asked for an upgrade, but were refused. Had they given us the room we would have probably returned for a longer stay, but we will definitely stay at a different place in the future. The room is clean, but very small, musty, and has no outside area to sit and enjoy the Cape May scenery. Also, no online pictures so that we could have made a better decision prior to arrival. The refrigerator did not work as well. Very unhappy with the customer service from the manager at the front desk. Location is okay and about a 15 minute walk to most restaurants. The woman at the desk is sweet and nice as can be, however, the man is the reason we will never stay here again. When we asked for extra pillows (only two were given in the room) he hesitated and made it seem like a pain. Do not recommend purely based on service. read more

The staff is friendly and the room was immaculate. I would have given this hotel 5 stars if it wasn't for the fact that they allow smoking outside the room. I was siting outside my room enjoying the scenery of the ocean when suddenly I got a horrific smell of someone's cigar!! I went on a mission to find out where it was coming from, and it was one level below me!! I couldn't stand the stench anymore and had to retreat back in my room. It's too bad because I would have definitely come back again and again. read more

We stayed at The Sea Crest for the first time this July. We didn't know what to expect and were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed our stay. While it is further down the beach than we are used to, it proved to be a very pleasant walk to Washington Street and the main shopping area. The rooms on the first floor, where we stayed, were recently renovated and provided a living room, kitchen area and bedroom. The bedroom was located at the back of the unit, keeping it quiet and private. A very nice pool and spa, made all the more pleasant due to having mostly adult guests! I would also like to say that the kitchen area actually had a large refrigerator, two burner stove and a microwave. Great if you were in the mood to cook your breakfast or lunch and convenient for the wine, snacks and leftovers! Add to this that the staff was pleasant and always helpful and you have all the ingredients for a relaxing vacation. read more
