Info
Summary of reviewsICONA Cape May offers guests a memorable beachside experience thanks to its prime location just steps away from the ocean. The hotel is perfectly situated, providing easy access to the beach while remaining slightly removed from the bustling parts of town, offering a tranquil environment. Guests appreciate the nearby dining options, shops and cafes. The property's serene setting and convenient proximity to the beach make it a top choice for those looking to relax by the sea.

Cleanliness is one of the standout features at ICONA Cape May. Guests consistently praise the immaculate state of both the rooms and the overall property. Rooms are modern, well-appointed and bright, featuring comfortable bedding and small kitchenettes that add convenience, especially for longer stays. Though some rooms are noted as being on the smaller side, their efficient use of space and thoughtful decor more than make up for it. The rooms contribute to a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere noted by many visitors.

The exceptional service provided by the hotel's staff is another highlight. Guests frequently commend the friendly, professional and attentive staff, who go out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay. Specific mentions of staff members by name indicate a high level of personal care and helpfulness. The beach service, including the setup of chairs and umbrellas, significantly enhances the guest experience and is frequently recognized as a standout feature.

Although breakfast is not offered and there is no on-site restaurant, these minor shortcomings do not overshadow the positive aspects of the hotel. Guests feel the experience could be elevated with the inclusion of a breakfast option, but this does not detract significantly from their overall enjoyment.

ICONA Cape May also features a small heated pool, which, despite its size, is considered a nice additional amenity. The pool area, along with the outdoor shower for rinsing off sand, provides extra convenience. The immediate proximity to the beach mitigates any downsides related to the pool’s limited size.

Parking is limited with only 36 spots available for 52 rooms, but the challenge of finding a spot is often mitigated by the convenience of not needing to move one's car frequently due to the hotel's central location.

In summary, ICONA Cape May is lauded for its superb beachfront location, exceptional cleanliness and exemplary service. These elements, combined with thoughtful amenities and a serene environment, make it an excellent choice for a relaxing beach getaway.

Parking
ICONA Cape May offers a convenient location with some caveats regarding parking. Guests frequently noted that on-site parking is limited with only 36 spots available for 52 rooms. This often results in guests being unable to find a parking spot at the hotel itself, requiring them to seek street parking, which can be particularly challenging. However, once you're fortunate enough to secure a parking space on the property, there's generally no need to move your car again for the duration of your stay.
