Staying at The Star Inn was a mixed experience. I really appreciated the beach service, which made my time at the beach much easier. However, the room layout was quite odd, with issues like a tiny bathroom and quirks in the room design that weren't evident from the photos online. The location was fantastic, close to everything I wanted to visit, but the amenities felt lacking compared to nearby options.

I recently enjoyed a family trip to The Star Inn in Cape May. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the beach and Congress Hall, which is a big plus for accessing more amenities. However, while the rooms were comfortable, some areas, like the decor and bathrooms, felt a bit outdated and not as charming as I hoped. The staff, especially the concierge service, were incredibly friendly and helpful, which truly enhanced my stay. Overall, it was a lovely visit, although a few details could be improved. 😊

I found the rooms comfortable but noted that some decor felt tired and dated. My family's suite in the Carriage House was functional, but the efficiency I stayed in had a worn area rug and an unimpressive bathroom layout. The beds were comfy, though.

While the location was fantastic, with easy access to the beach and local shops, some aspects of the room left me wanting more, like insufficient closet space and furniture that could use an upgrade. The staff was friendly and accommodating, which certainly enhanced my experience, but the room's cleanliness could have been better.

My stay at The Star Inn was quite the experience. While the cozy atmosphere and comfortable beds were highlights, my initial room was simply too small and quirky for comfort. However, after switching to a larger room, I appreciated the cleanliness and the convenient location near Congress Hall, though the limited amenities on-site were a bit disappointing.
