While the Grand Hotel may be beautiful I have never experienced worse customer service. It all starts at the top with the GM there is very rude, and not accommodating. I was to attend a wedding there in August when it had to be cancelled due to hurricane Irene. Keep in mind the cancellation was due to the governor declaring... More

When we arrived the lobby looked nice but when we went to the room, we asked for an ocean view it was a side view not ocean front, they did not mentioned that when I booked. So my view when I looked out the window was a brick wall of the hotel across the street.That was so romantic , it... More

I was invited to the Grand Hotel in Cape May to attend a dinner as a conclusion to a funeral. Upon entering the lobby I was greeted by an overwhelming stench of a toxic substance which I thought to be a varnish of some sort. While awaiting the elevator I was forced to cover my nose and mouth with my... More

I was very worried about booking here, but we were limited since we only decided to take a vacation in the height of vacation season the week before. I was more than pleasantly surprised. We booked a suiteG room in the main part of the hotel. Our room was big, clean, and way better than we bought we'd get for... More

The hotel was very nice - our room was very clean and newly renovated. The bartender was rude and obnoxious!! He did not realize he is working at a public hotel and not a private club. He was beyond annoyed that he had to wait on strangers, and two women at that!! One of the receptionists was clueless - she... More

My husband and I stayed on the second floor in a King room w/kitchenette. The room had been renovated nicely and was very clean. Unfortunately however, the sound proofing is non-existent. We had no choice but to listen to energetic, lengthy lovemaking and running commentary from the couple in the next room. I am all for a romantic weekend away... More

Horrible customer service. They are not concerned about the client once they get your $$. Also, NEVER have a wedding here. Our wedding was cancelled due to the hurricane and they refused to give us our money back...unfortunate circumstances yes, but do what's right. More

We just returned from a wonderful mid winter mini vacation to Cape May. We chose the Grand because it has an indoor pool and hot tub and the rooms have great ocean views. We didn't mind that it is a little farther away from the center of town since the water is what we were there to see. Parking and... More

We came back to the Grand for Hospitality night in Cape May having stayed here last year at the same time. Although we stayed here before, I was a little nervous having read some of the recent reviews. So I put my "travel reporter" hat on and tried to keep an eye out for some of the problems other people... More
