Guest Reviews
- Robert (8/5): Quiet, close to beaches, very clean, recently renovated and great value for the money. - The motel is across the street from the beach in a quiet very nice section of Cape May. The motel is a value play for travel, it is not fancy but is very clean, recently updated, easy to get to your room, mostly single floor rooms. If you don't spend much time at your place of lodging this motel is great. The shower was a trickle of water, no utensils, cups or plates for the kitchenette, A small rug for the living space would help with the tile floor. Door locks need an upgrade.
- Gerald (9/5): - L'accueil super sympa ....c'est propre , calme et très agréable
Moins cher que beaucoup d'hôtel du coin Un peu loin du centre pour les personnes qui marchent peu ...15 mn de marche
- Pat (6/5): - Location and price No TV first night
Blanket was moth chewed and ripped
It was fair for cleanliness
I could have paid less not going through booking.com. I could have paid $135 oppose to $155 if you use their website.
- Tammy (9/5): Great place! - Perfect location
- Brooke (9/5): Great location! - The Buckingham Motel's location is perfect! This was the best part about this hotel, literally right across the street is the beach. Also, it's about a 15 minute walk to the downtown area/Washington Street. The room was great, clean, and everything was super convenient.
- Janice (9/5): -
- Maureen (10/5): -

- Monique (10/5): - The motel manager was very friendly and informative. We liked being able to cook some of our meals onsite. The motel was quiet and peaceful. It was convienent to get to the beach. The place was clean. The parking cituation to the events. My husband and I are older and have problems with walking long distances. We were trying to get closer to the event in town, so we wouldn't have to walk so far from where we were.
- Antonetta (10/5): Our stay was wonderful! - It was very clean, quiet and comfortable and we had everything we needed. The location was great — directly across the street from the beach and walking distance to the restaurants and shops! It was our first time in Cape May and they were very informative and helpful with directions, tips and attractions…. Super friendly and upbeat staff! We’ll definitely stay here again! Nothing
- Christina (9/5): -
- David (4/5): Loved the view of the ocean, other than that place was just Okay. - Room had a view of the Ocean, and property was located across the street from access points to the beach. Room was very basic. Bathroom came with towels and soap, but no shampoo or conditioner. Linens. were okay neither new or old. TV was a small size compared to many other lodging facilities, including those that are quarter of the price. Overall barely an Okay room. Would think twice before returning. Heads up in summer property does not provide beach badges. After Labor Day badges are not necessary.

- Lori (10/5): Great place for a great price with friendly staff. Highly recommend!! Will definitely return. - This was our first time here and the staff was very welcoming. The place was as expected based on the pics on the website and the reviews. Nothing everything was perfect
- Walter (8/5): Great stay! Clean room and grounds and very friendly. - Great recommendation by Crystal to take the Combo Trolley Tour which included the Physick House. Motel located right across from beach entrance. A nice healthy walk to town center. We walked to breakfast and all around town on Saturday and took the car Sunday as our first breakfast stop was a full mile away. Arms that extend from under the mattress, I guess to accommodate different sizes, were sticking out and you had to be careful not to hit your shin on them. AC unit is quite loud, even on low.
- VanDyke (10/5): - Early check-in
Across the street beach access
Walking distance to restaurants
- Kadence (4/5): Affordable but unlikely to stay again - The location was great, staff was friendly Not having 24 hour staff. We ran out of toilet paper and were not provided with an extra roll and had to purchase our own. The tv only played 1 channel. The room wasn’t very clean when we got there but the policy says if the room takes more than 30 minutes to clean after our stay we are charged $40. Any room cleaned properly should take more than 30 minutes to fully sanitize it for the next guests.
- Peraza (9/5): Cute & Perfect Location! - Location is perfect! Affordable, and near everything. Walking distance to the beach, breakfast places, and a short drive to anywhere else. You can hear your neighbors. Our neighbors unfortunately were very loud and inconsiderate arriving late and talking loud, but it was not the facility's fault.

- Christina (8/5): Old classic Cape May motel.. remodeled but still nostalgic💙 - On beach avenue and not far from a work event The heat is only in the bedroom via a wall air unit it so it was 57
Degrees when we got there.. I think someone forgot to turn on heat. The bathroom tile is like ice.. maybe a space heater in bathroom would help
- Laurent Perez (8/5): perfect location, good value - Perfect location, super friendly staff
- Jane (8/5): - Clean, reasonable
- Brandon (10/5): -
- Michael (10/5): For the Christmas parade this hotel fit the bill. It was the last-minute reservation they took. I was happy they were ab - The convenience to the beach was wonderful so this is a great place for the summer and it did the trick for the Christmas parade. Just a little walk. There was nothing to dislike about the property. It was clean well-maintained and parking was extremely convenient.
- Amy (9/5): -
- jonathan (9/5): - Location Bed
- Laura (10/5): -
- Val (10/5): Absolutely lovely establishment - Everything! The beach was across the street and near a comfort station, the garden outside my door was beautifully tended to, and the peace and quiet of this lovely motel was just what I needed. The room was clean, beautifully decorated, and appealed to my senses the minute I opened the door. I generally have difficulty sleeping in motels, due to some physical issues, but for the first time ever, I experienced a great night's sleep. The mattress was exceptional. The staff was exceptional, and the goal was to make sure this vacation was a good one, and I was not disappointed. I met another guest who has been coming there for thirty years! How's that for a recommendation? I had actually booked two other places, but came across this motel by other reviews, and thank heavens I changed my mind! There was nothing that I did not like, or thought that something should be changed. It was exactly as presented in its advertisement.
- Christine (10/5): Just what I needed and exceeded my expectations - I liked the privacy, quiet and the staff was very helpful, friendly and made my stay enjoyable.
- John (10/5): - Friendly and helpful or went above to help us when we had a delay getting there.
- nicholas (5/5): - location room, bed, bathroom
- Bill (9/5): good - location tv

- Patricia (9/5): quiet area, nice room, private - nice, homey nothing in particular
- Teeya (8/5): We felt very taken care of and at home at the Buckingham - tidy, great location, super friendly and accommodating staff the small fridge was a bit loud and needs to be defrosted
- debra (8/5): Very relaxing - Very quite, great location to the beach. Staff was very friendly. Had to unplug/plug in tv each time I used it.
- Frank (9/5): - Everything Freezer could of been colder took 2 days to freeze ice cubes
- Douglas (10/5): Everything we needed and a short walk to the beach. - Minimal accommodation with everything we needed and no frills. Quiet! Conveniently located to the beach. Bike rack to secure our in-town transport. Comfortable bed. We could have used a larger or second table in the room but did fine without it. Location
- Whomsley (10/5): Lovely - Staff very friendly
Room was clean and bed was very comfortable
Let us check in 3 hours early
They have a little Library if u need a book for the beach. It’s about a 10 min walk to the mall which was great after over indulging felt good to walk it off and see and all the amazing houses. Check out time 10:00.
I’m used to 11 which really isn’t an issue unless you love sleeping in.
