Lafayette Cape May

Great view from the balcony of the ocean and beach on a mild December day. Walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Negative - walls are too thin. The old couple in the next room watched the news loudly throughout the entire night and were talking loudly. They Never turned themselves off or the TV. My husband banged on the adjoining door to clue them in. Not a good experience. NO sleep for us.
