Ok for one night
Room was fine, only stayed one night. Floor was all tile so it was cold, bed and sheets were very uncomfortable. We also found random eyelashes in the sheets that were not ours. Owner/manager seemed nice.

Great location on the beach - beautiful sunsets & sunrises. Place is very clean with a genuine caring staff. We are walkers - and we’re able to walk to the historic center - the fabulous restaurants & clubs & the local bakery for early coffee. A wonderful place for a quick getaway & to have some fun! Just love how clean it is & how close everything is‼️👍

Great hotel on the beach and close to everything.
Avondale is wonderful hotel right on the beach and in the middle of historic Cape May. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The staff is very friendly and can't do enough for you. They provided an excellent free continental breakfast with something for everyone.

I really have no negative comments about the Avondale by the Sea motel. It is in a great location to restaurants, beach, shops and Washington Street. Upon my arrival the front desk woman was so courteous, friendly and filled with information during my stay. I actually am staying again the first weekend of December for the Christmas event. This is now my home away from home when I visit Cape May.
