Hotel Details

Location

Located in the historic district, steps from the ocean and promenade, and within a short walk to multiple restaurants and the Washington Street Mall.
The Heritage Inn is situated directly across from the convention center and the beach, placing almost all of Cape May's attractions within walking distance. The Washington Street Mall, restaurants like Quincy's Original Lobster Rolls, Bagel Time Cafe, Louie's Pizza, and Aleathea's Restaurant are all under 0.5 km. The Cape May Lighthouse is 5 km away, Cape May National Golf Club is 9 km, and the Cape May County Zoo is 23 km. The rooftop deck provides views of the ocean and surrounding area.

Accommodation

Traditionally decorated rooms with cable TV, a seating area, refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker. Select rooms feature an ocean view or kitchenette.
All rooms include air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and carpeted floors. Some rooms offer a private terrace or patio. A room with a panoramic ocean view and king bed is available. Rooms are generally clean and of a decent size, though furnishings may feel dated. The motel-style building means road-facing rooms can be noisier. The property has three floors and no elevator, which may be a consideration for guests with mobility concerns.

The property does not have its own restaurant.

The Mad Batter is 0.5 km away. All rooms come with a coffee maker.

Wellness and Leisure

A seasonal outdoor swimming pool with a shallow end and a sun terrace with lounge chairs are available.
The swimming pool opens from Memorial Day weekend. It has a fence, a cover, and a shallow end, making it suitable for families. The surrounding sun terrace has lounge chairs, though the pool area is compact with limited shade. The rooftop deck provides additional seating and is a popular spot for relaxing, with views over the ocean. The beach is directly across the street. Bike tours, walking tours, mini golf, and golf are available nearby.
