We were not given key code upon check in…which was at main hotel;Congress Hall. Inn door was open upon entry at 5om…but locked when we came back from dinner…forcing us to go back to Congress Hall. Girl at desk did NOT know code, and could not find manager. Took a bit to find someone who knew code for us to be able to get back into our room

Front desk was awesome, the Inn is quirky and our room was small but the view was beautiful. The only suggestion would be to fix the bathroom door so it closes easily and stays closed.

Overall the room was good. I especially liked the bathroom. Showers worked well. The location is nice because it is right across from their parent hotel, the Congress Hall. There is a nice coffee shop in the lobby and another right next door. Cape May is a friendly town. Nice walk to and along the beach. Some rooms are not completely modern, and some do not have the best views. But if you are looking for an historic and comfortable stay, the Star is a good choice.

The place is very clean quaint. A little dated and there was no fridge or microwave in the room, but we were not bothered by it. Great location right by the main strip, and you can also use the Congress Hall grounds as the two properties have the same owners. It’s also right across from Congress Hall. My husband and I really liked it.
