The only positive aspect of this motel is the location. The pictures and description on their website are deceiving as there is NO private balcony as they lead one to believe. Appeared to be fairly clean, but a closer inspection proved otherwise. However, we were aware that we were not staying at the most expensive place on the beach, so... more

Stayed here on Saturday on the Labor Day weekend on very short notice as we were driving up from the Outer Banks. Arrived by ferry and went straight to hotel to have a swim after the long drive. Got yelled at almost immediately when we got to the pool for jumping in (if you can believe that!). We are both... more

We love Cape May and feel that it is one of the prettiest spots in South Jersey. So much to see and do -- in addition to the beach. This was our fourth time at the Avondale (1st time with new owners). It was fantastic. Rooms are clean and the property is well maintained. Breakfast served in the lobby was... more

Decided on very short notice to book a room here based on a family member's recommendation. What a great choice. Clean rooms. Plenty of room. In-room refridgerator. 2nd sink in the entry foyer really frees up the bathroom area. Very friendly staff. Continental breakfast was simple but perfect for a quick bite before hitting the beach. Right across the street... more

Very pleasant stay with 17 month son in tow. Charlie the owner took the time to show three room types and we went with a first floor suite with a large sitting area and seperate bedroom. Perfect to stroller right up the handicap ramp and right in the room, and there was plenty of storage area to put the stroller... more

Stayed here last summer-Staff not too friendly, room not bad, location great. Made a reservation yesterday for this summer (August). Found out today we can't go. When I called today (less than 24 hrs after making the reservation) was told I am being charged a $25.00 booking fee. No other hotel that I know of (and I have been staying... more

When I arrived I didn't find the front desk staff to be exceptionally friendly the entire visit. The breakfast was blah and the designer of their suite bathrooms should have been fired. They built the toilet too close to the sink area and I nearly smacked my head several times when standing up. But I have say the location was... more

Avondale is a mixed bag First the good stuff: -The women working behind the desk were amazingly helpful. -They have a selection of menus in the lobby which was great when looking for a restaurant. -Rooms were amazingly clean with no smell or stickiness even though it was across from the beach. I was very impressed with this. -Each room... more

While in Cape May last year, my wife and walked into this hotel just to inquire about rates. For a year, my wife mentioned this place and I finally booked Columbus Day weekend this year. Needless to say we were both blown away. The Avondale is perfect. The staff was wonderful, the rooms were immaculate and the locatioon was great.... more
