The Hugh Boutique B&B

The hosts were very nice and accommodating. The B&B was not what I expected. The bathroom had no counter top to put your toiletries on just a small sink so I was walking back and forth from the bathroom to the bedroom for whatever I needed..,makeup, brush, blower etc. Also there was no parking on the premises so we had to walk about 5-6 blocks to the municipal parking lot which was ridiculous in the heat. And the last thing is that it was about 7 blocks to the beach and although they provide a wagon for your chairs etc it was still a far walk. The description was a little deceiving to me. For the price I paid for a weekend we were disappointed. Just being honest.

Good location in Cape May. Room was small and bathroom was essentially a tiny shower stall and toilet. No amenities. Toilet overflowed first day. Staff is somewhat unfriendly and seem bothered by any requests (althought literally everything is by request). They did buy us dinner one night to compensate for the plumbing situation, which was nice, however over they need some major hospitality training. Overall not much special.

The breakfast was very nice … But I’m not sure why the staff ( manager ) is so unfriendly and unwelcoming. Cold. We noticed this last year when they first opened , we happened to walk by and just wanted to peek inside . The lady practically scolded us. The owner ( male ) seems a bit friendlier. You’re paying a lot of money for a bedroom and bath, no parking , no services , nothing truly special. It is a beautiful building though. I just wish the owners were appreciative of their guests and responded to constructive feedback.

We we're so pleased with this place. We'll return next summer for a longer stay.

The Hugh was excellent, overall. The owners were accommodating and very nice. The B&B was decorated beautifully and clean. The breakfast was delicious and offered eclectic options of sweet or savory. We also felt very safe, as you need to key in a code to enter the front door and your room. My only “complaint” was that the water in the shower wasn’t getting warm. Other than that, we completely recommend The Hugh.

Great holiday in a beautifully decorated Victorian villa. Location was perfect - walking distance to the beaches, shopping and restaurants. Breakfast was delicious. The owners Sandy and John truly added value to our holiday. They also have two restaurants: Mason Bleue and The Jardin.

Quick get away this past weekend and we couldn't be more pleased. The room was perfect with a very comfortable king size bed in which my wife and I slept great. The breakfast was very different from what we are used to and we really liked it. (Two options), so we shared. Centrally located to everything, so we walked every where. Parking is provided in a lot 5 mins away. It rained on Saturday on and off so we stayed on the porch for the afternoon and just I read a book while my wife did some work on her computer. Very relaxing. Host gave some suggestions for the day for things to do..We will be back. Thank you John and Sandy for a no stress weekend

My stay at The Hugh was a very disappointing one. It is advertised as a boutique Bed & Breakfast and the breakfast that is offered has only two options and begins at 8:00am, kind of a late start. The pictures on the website are very misleading as the rooms do not show the bathrooms and the sinks are separate from the bathroom which makes it difficult to clean up. There are very few outlets in the room, therefore we had to use extension cords as the mirrors were nowhere near the outlets, so, to do your hair with a heating tool, its very difficult to work around these inconveniences as well as the lighting in the room was very poor to do any makeup. The end table was the size of plant stand. The owners are hardly ever around and there is no staff for housekeeping but when we requested clean towels, the dirty ones laid in the hallway for over a day and the owner, John, brought clean ones and instead of handing them to us, he threw them on the couch outside of our room in the hallway. For dinner at their restaurant, it is a minimum of $121.00/per person. It is not mentioned on the website that there is no parking for guests. One last thing, I emailed the owner prior to my stay inquiring about a local gym and I received no response at all. In person, they are rude and unapproachable. For the amount of money you are spending at a boutique Bed & Breakfast and what you are actually receiving is below par.

Just back from a wonderful 2-night stay at The Hugh, and already plotting a return! We loved everything about our visit, from the jazzy chic decor to the delectable breakfasts, to meeting our warm and engaging hosts, John and Sandy. They've transformed this grand old home into a truly iconic Cape May masterpiece that evokes both the town's history and stylish modern luxury. And even with all this high-end glamour, there's still an undeniable sense of fun about the place: nobody's taking it all TOO seriously. I highly recommend treating yourself to a stay at The Hugh, and can't wait to come back someday soon!

We loved it here!! Both Sandy and John were more than accommodating for us on our stay. We especially loved the hotel design- it had such a cool and unique vibe. Our room was very cozy and clean, the breakfast was delicious, and it was such a great location! We hope to be back soon!
