The 56-room Icona Cape May is a stylish beachfront property located within a few minutes' walk of dozens of shops and restaurants. Rooms at this upper-middle-range boutique are chic and fresh, with crisp ocean-inspired decor, balconies (some of which have ocean views), and sleek bathrooms. Entry-level units have basic cooking facilities, while studios and suites are outfitted with kitchenettes -- convenient, as the hotel lacks a restaurant. Though too small for laps, the outdoor pool is pleasant and heated seasonally, and guests can use the hotel’s loungers on the beach free of charge. The hotel also offers free shuttle service to sister property Icona Diamond Beach, which features a restaurant, a bar with live music, a small gym, and a beach club. Travelers seeking something cheaper may want to compare rates at the Sea Crest Inn, though rooms there are a tad dated.

On the quiet end of Cape May, this budget hotel has a convenient beachfront location near downtown and a variety of comfortable room types. Property highlights include a heated pool, whirlpool, and picnic area. No room allows more than three guests, so adults and couples are the norm here, though children are welcome. The Sea Crest doesn’t offer a lot of bells and whistles, but rooms are clean, beds comfy, and staff friendly.

The 44-room Capri Motor Lodge is a friendly, charming budget hotel run by two sisters that is located directly across the street from the lovely public beach. A short distance from popular dining and shopping areas, this value property has a relaxed, communal atmosphere with various outdoor activities such as a pool with lounge chairs, shuffleboard, ping pong, several grills, and picnic tables. The rooms are spacious and clean, though dated with patterned bedspreads. All of the rooms have kitchenettes or kitchens and the suites are very spacious with a separate living room. Decor isn't winning any awards, but overall it's a slight step up from Avondale by the Sea -- another large budget hotel a few blocks up the beach.

The Southern Mansion is a four-pearl property in Cape May that gets high points for its style and ambience. The interior decor combines Southern charm (such as a wrap-around porch with wooden rocking chairs) and eccentric flourishes (such as a leopard-print carpet). Its free breakfast, which includes a continental spread plus made-to-order hot dishes, is also another major perk. Travelers looking for closer access to the beach will be disappointed with The Southern Mansion's location closer to Washington Street Mall and should consider looking into Mission Inn. And note: Only children over the age of 10 are allowed on the property.

A fairly typical budget beach motel, the Victorian features a nice outdoor pool with a nine-foot deep-end, barbecue grills, sundeck area, and little else. The 38-room property has a great downtown location next to Washington Street Mall -- a popular pedestrian strip with shops and restaurants -- and is only a block from the beach. The rooms are generic, but well maintained. During peak season, the Victorian Motel is a great value for Cape May.
