Picky sleeper

Hotel was right at the beach which was great; unfortunately, our room faced the parking lot. I am a fanatic when comes to bedding. The fitted sheets were not at all fitted. I’m a restless sleeper so the sheets were constantly rolling up. Very uncomfortable for me.

It was a nice place. There were two fire alarms that went off. That was bad considering my elderly relative had to walk five flights of stairs twice. Housekeeping never replenished the coffee or soap.

The property was located in an excellent area of Cape May, near plenty of restaurants and directly across the street from the beach. The room was comfortable. Only hitch was the mess left poolside following a very hot day. We went into the pool area to swim near dinner time, when most people had left, and there were glasses, cans and dishes everywhere. Perhaps too early in the season? But a nice place to stay
