So hard to pick a place to stay...for next weekend! Help!!

Hi:

My cousin and I are taking a much needed girls weekend - next week - June 5-6. I%26#39;m having a really hard time making a decision. So far I tried several places - but what I have is:

1. The Grand Hotel

2. La Mer

3. Sea Crest

La Mer is the most expensive - and to be honest funds are very low right now.

What we want are the following things in an accommodation:

1. Pool

2. Walkable to restaurants and other sightseeing

3. Walkable to beach - prefer beach front

I feel like I%26#39;m asking too much. Can anyone point me in the right direction?? She has left the decision up to me (no pressure!!!)

Thanks for any suggestions. Oh...and not gross. I can camp with my kids...but she isn%26#39;t too into bugs and mold etc.......

Thanks!

For what your choices listed, The Grand is the place for you. Indoor pool and hot tub, outdoor pool, onsite restaurant and walking distance to the center of town. It%26#39;s beachfront with gorgeous views too.

Sea Crest is nice, but it offers much less than the Grand. La Mer is very nice too, but it is not really walking distance to anything (over a mile to center of town).

Have you checked out the Atlas or Montreal Inn. If funds are a concern, you could also check out the Victorian Motel. It%26#39;s 2 blocks to the beach and directly across the street from the pedestrian mall. The prices are much less than oceanfront and there is a huge pool.

Have a nice weekend!

Bretany,

Thanks to Ben for the mention of The Victorian Motel, but we are already full next weekend.

I did some checking and The Camelot Motel on Howard Street has some availability. They are across the street from the beach. They are only a few short blocks from Cabanas and the top of the Washington Street Mall area.

Hope this helps make choosing a little area.

Thank you so much for all your advice. I went with the Montreal Inn - Thank you Ben. I%26#39;m really looking forward to it!

Montreal Inn is nice and the Hirsch family that owns it is very involved and customer-oriented. Just good people who care a lot about Cape May and work hard to take care of their guests.

I especially enjoy the outdoor hot tub/jacuzzi and the main pool. Both are top-knotch! Incidentally, Andrea and I spent a week in their Millenium Suite after our wedding in Sept 07. They treated us really well and the views were spectacular.
