Stockton Inn is a historic and well-located hotel in Cape May, just across the street from the beach and close to restaurants and the town center. Guests appreciate its prime location, with many enjoying the views from the deck and easy access to the beach, pool, and nearby attractions like mini golf and the mall. The inn offers spacious rooms that are clean, although some find them dated and basic. The pool is consistently described as clean and well-maintained, providing a nice spot for relaxation, especially since it is not crowded. Many guests mention the friendly, welcoming atmosphere, with some reviews highlighting the genuine hospitality of staff members who go above and beyond to show care and support. However, the inn has some limitations. It is an older property with no elevators, no microwave in rooms, and certain rules such as no check-in after 8 pm and no extra towels provided, which guests are advised to bring themselves. While some find the rooms comfortable and the value good for the location, others have experienced issues such as sandy floors upon check-in, wet bedding, or other cleanliness concerns. Despite these inconsistencies, many guests return for the location and the overall experience, though a few have been disappointed by particular incidents or the condition of their rooms. Overall, Stockton Inn offers a charming, convenient stay with friendly service, making it a popular choice for visitors wanting to explore Cape May.
We rented two rooms for two nights. Family get together for our daughter who finished USGC boot camp. Patti and her staff were on top of everything. Easy check in, clean rooms, nice pool and walking distance to shops and restaurants. Perfect for what we needed and would stay here again!

The hotel is in a great location and has plenty of parking for guests. While the property is dated, it it very well kept and clean. The best thing may be the nightly room charges, easily one of the best values at the Jersey Shore by far! This was our 3rd stay and will definitely stay here again if we visit Cape May.
