  : The location was excellent. Right across the street from the beach. A bagel store right on property for a morning treat and a restaurant on site as well.
  : While there is a 9pm-9 am quiet hours, it was not always quiet. The rooms need to be better sound insulated as we could hear the people in the room next door speaking in normal conversation tones. We spent the weekend whispering to each other and did not watch TV, not even the news as we did not want to disturb others. At 12:30 pm we were awaken by the guests above us walking across the floor of their room. While I am sure they were just walking normally, it sounded like they were jumping and it went on for hours before they finally went to sleep.

  : Friendly staff; "character" of the room and building in general were a plus (didn't have that "hotel chain" feel); great location and exceptionally clean and quiet.
  : The "partial ocean view" was disappointing. Basically the view could be enjoyed only from the bathroom. Also, the 10 AM checkout time (as opposed to a more typical 11 AM or the once standard Noon checkout) seemed a bit cruel. Finally, the room seemed overpriced for off-season. (On the other hand, it was downright cheap compared to prices of most other available hotels in the area.) The bottom line is that Cape May is simply a very expensive place to visit. Unfortunately, I'm addicted and can't stay away!

  : I love the Macomber for it's location and it's great historic value to New Jersey. You can walk pretty much everywhere, or ride a bike. The big front porch with the rocking chairs is my favorite part!
  : The only thing that bothers me about the macomber (and I say this reluctantly because it's a great hotel) is that the walls are thin. In other words, you can hear a lot of sounds through the walls. I'm always afraid I might disturb other people by talking too loudly at night. Also, the bathrooms are very small and compact. There was a shelf over the sink and I couldn't brush my teeth very easily. But... That's just a tiny inconvenience. The hotel is old, historic and I appreciate it for what it is.
