We've been staying there for over 20 years and never had a reason not to return! Our latest visit, the last week in August, was no exception. We love the location--beautiful beach, quiet part of town, and an easy walk to the mall. The owners meticulously maintain the building, rooms, and grounds. We find the beds comfortable, the AC units... More

I was a little unsettling that we had to pay for our three nights in cash upon check in. In my experience you pay when you check out. The website said cheery rooms. Unfortunately they were drab and outdated. There was a slight musty smell as well, however the bathroom seemed to be updated enough and the housekeeping crew did... More

We have been staying at the Mt Vernon Motel for over 20 years. The rooms are always clean and of a decent size. There is a well-maintained pool which is a huge draw after a day on the beach right across the street! They have helped us find babysitters when needed and have accommodated our sometimes late arrivals. We have... More

We came to celebrate my mother in laws 80th birthday. There were 11 of us and we all agree that this place is wonderful. We have been to many shore towns and motels but this has been the best experience. The rooms are very clean, the pool area is wonderful and the people have been very nice. We will come... More

We stayed here for only 4 nights thank goodness. We stayed here because the place advertised new mattresses and renovated bathrooms. The mattresses provided zero support. Our backs were aching every morning. The owner must have gottena deal on "el cheapo" mattresses. But even worse was the MUSTY odor we had to endure the entire time we were in the... More

We were only in Cape May for 1 night and liked the location of this motel. That's the only good thing I can say about it. Right after checking in, I went to use the pool and found it padlocked. When I asked at the front desk, I was told that there had been an "accident" in the pool and... More

Nothing fancy, your regular older motel in Cape May. Decided to stay here since there were no nightly minimum requirements like most places in the area. The rooms were very clean and nice, seem to be fairly updated. The only thing not updated were the beds, typical bouncy uncomfy motel beds but you are expecting that anyway so no suprise.... More
