I don't have time but let's just say this. If somebody's coming with a pet don't have them stay in a room that they have to go up a flight of stairs! Also if you're answering the phone and making a phone call ask the person if they can even walk up a flight of stairs for God sakes. Also if the person has never even been to have brochures have everything available don't you say oh you can call me because you're not even there all the time. When the person checks in you have a code but guess what if the person loses their phone they don't know the code to get in their own room that's ridiculous! Sometimes people forget to bring their phone sometimes people leave it somewhere and if that's the case then they can't get in their room did you ever think about that no start thinking and this is the only social media platform I will be responding to I don't have time and I will never go back not only to your place but to Cape May. I have never once in my life couldn't wait to leave what I thought would be a little vacation a break from my life and return to my house. Maybe that will give some others and understanding how this place and Cape May is go to Newport Rhode Island Cape Cod Martha's Vineyard Nantucket Skip Cape May

The Boarding House Hotel was a well cared for property. We loved all the touches around the hotel and in our room. We found the staff to be super kind, informative and helpful. Our dog felt right at home and we found the hotel to be located in a convenient location where we could walk to so many things. We had take out for dinner twice from the Oyster Bay restaurant down the street. They have an awesome espresso martini and burger. We enjoyed the happy hour from 4-5 at the Boarding House. We have booked the suite room for a weekend in October and can’t wait to go back.
