This was our third visit to Cape May but our first time staying at Avondale. We loved the property - it was clean and roomy, the beds were extremely comfortable, there was always hot water and good water pressure, and it was so convenient for walking around the town. We came to see a concert that was postponed from last summer, and the Convention Hall is less than a block from the hotel. The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable. We will definitely choose Avondale for future visits.

Ok for one night

Room was fine, only stayed one night. Floor was all tile so it was cold, bed and sheets were very uncomfortable. We also found random eyelashes in the sheets that were not ours. Owner/manager seemed nice.

Great location on the beach - beautiful sunsets & sunrises. Place is very clean with a genuine caring staff. We are walkers - and we’re able to walk to the historic center - the fabulous restaurants & clubs & the local bakery for early coffee. A wonderful place for a quick getaway & to have some fun! Just love how clean it is & how close everything is‼️👍

Great property in every way. Location, parking, rooms, views. Room was spotless, shower with lovely tile work. We had refrigerator in our room and there is a laundry room with microwave for you to use. If you have any questions, call Alex and he will happily help you! Also, a perk is the continental breakfast from 8 to 10 am. Just wow. Lots of coffee and delicious fresh pastry in addition to cold cereal.
