My partner & I truly enjoyed this quick getaway to Cape May. Icona is on Beach Drive, right across…read morethe street from the beach (as the name implies). I've stayed at their Diamond Beach location, but this was my first time here. Let me mention the most enjoyable employees first. Chet was at the Front Desk when I checked out. He was by far the most friendly person I interacted with at the front desk. Some of the females were a bit...... unfriendly. If you chose to work in a customer service position it's probably best to have a sunny disposition. I think Cape May needs to address that. Tarik/Tajik? He was the young men who helped EVERYBODY get their chairs and umbrellas to the beach. He was WORKING! Yet, he always remained pleasant. And lastly, the gentleman driving the shuttle was very pleasant. He picked us up/dropped us off about 4 times. He was also servicing the Mahalo (and Icona resort) so he had his work cut out for him! We REALLY appreciated him as it was pouring one night and he came to pick us up and bring us back to the hotel. That amenity is CLUTCH! Overall, it's a nice hotel. Clean, a beautiful small bathroom, a cute little kitchen area, a small pool, and parking. Somebody mentioned the room was small, but to me it was a decent size. The balcony however, now THAT was small. Just enough room for the 2 of us to sit out there side by side and chill. I did see larger balconies out by the pool (facing the beach) so I guess you get what you pay for (larger room perhaps; suite). The AC however, is loud. It's not a window unit, but one of those wall units. I'm glad I brought my earplugs, otherwise I probably wouldn't have slept. And speaking of sleep, the bed is not what I am used to when I visit a hotel; especially a higher end boutique hotel. It was uncomfortable to me. My partner however, had no problem sleeping and did not feel it was uncomfortable. So.... roll the dice. The pool is tiny. Or shall I say, smaller than the size you will expect it to be. But it works. I chilled in the pool for 3 days. It's a good spot to people watch and break from the sand of the beach. And once we parked, we didn't have to move the car. Cape May is very pedestrian friendly. We walked and rode bikes every where we went. I love it. It was a great getaway. Check it out.

There's no front desk -- everything is handled by text -- but the staff was quick to respond and very helpful throughout our stay, even though we didn't have any issues. Our room (201) was large, clean, and nicely designed, with a full (albeit abbreviateD) kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, and plenty of space to hang out. The balcony had a beautiful view of the sunset and was one of our favorite parts of the stay. One parking space is included and it's a very easy walk to either the beach or town for shopping or food. It's probably (definitely) on the higher end price-wise during the summer, but for a fall weekend, it was ideal: quiet, comfortable, and close to everything.

The rooms all have fun names and the free parking is also a perk. The rooms are large and modern. The decor is wonderful. They have a full kitchen, dishwasher, fridge and little oven. Each floor also has a washer and dryer that can be used for free. The porch has wonderful walking chairs. I also enjoyed the workout mats in room to continue exercise away from home. The heated salt water pool even in early May felt so nice. Wonderful relaxing atmosphere. The fire pits were also relaxing and easy to use. Lokal is steps away from the beach which is fantastic. Would love to visit during peak season to use the provided beach tags and service available. It is also close to many bars and restaurants that are walkable. We really enjoyed our stay here for the perfect Mom and Dad getaway!

Made of brick and painted a buttery yellow, it is distinguished by its L-shaped silhouette, 32-foot colonnade, and mansard roof. Five presidents have stayed inside its hallowed halls, along with other musicians, writers, and more. The property has transformed and renovated over the years, evolving into the grand hotel it is today. The property itself was beautifully decked out in its autumn decorations and well maintained for such a historic establishment. For us, the most captivating aspect of our visit was the history and photographs in the hallway surrounded by various Stars and Strips leading away from the lobby, where the shops are. One of my favorite touches was the row of rocking chairs outside by the portable heaters. They are perfect for sitting back, relaxing, and taking in the vibe. My partner and I enjoyed our dinner at the Blue Pig Tavern. What not to love?

They traditionally take the form of a large family home with a limited number of rooms and offer hospitality services on a personal level. Located in the historic district of Cape May, the B&Bs are upscale accommodations, mostly Victorian houses. Situated off of Ocean Street, the Queen Victoria is very popular, decorated with period antiques and furniture. They feature AC for the summer and a gas fireplace in winter with delicious breakfast and afternoon tea. My partner and I stayed at the Hampton Court suite in the Prince Albert Hall on the Queen Victoria's grounds as first-timers this weekend. It definitely did not disappoint. The room was clean, cozy, quaint, at the right temperature, and had everything we needed. It was conveniently within a walking distance of the beach, shops, and restaurants. Bikes, beach chairs, and beach towels were provided to all guests. The staff were very nice and helpful, especially Samantha. We had arrived late after the front desk closed. She greeted us Saturday morning and was very informative. This establishment is an ideal choice for couples, weekend getaways with friends, and families with well-behaved children.

A number of times we booked online what appeared to be a "nice room" only to open the curtains to a brick wall. It was still overpriced. They have a monopoly because most of the other hotels are old, outdated, if cheaper. The arrogance of the La Mer is unmatched as I travel around the east coast frequently. Against my normally nostalgic views, Cape May is the only town I visit that NEEDS CHAIN HOTELS. The food is either chancy or outrageously expensive, the people are frequently unfriendly, and the affordable hotels subpar.

Only negative is trying to find parking & the bikes that they give you to use - there was no way to move the seat down so I couldn't ride a bike (sucks to be short!).

Minor drawbacks: there's no true outside shower, but there's a hose for your feet in the ice machine closet. There are rinsing stations by the beach too, but not near the entrance where you can rent your complimentary chairs/ umbrellas on queen street. Also, parking is tight and some guests are not conscientious of the parking situation. During our stay, there were multiple cars taking up two spaces in the very small lot. Overall, great spot!
