Cape May, NJ

I think I'd like to go to Cape May. Has anyone been with a preschooler? Where did you stay? Was it worth it? The biggest problem for me is there are no well known hotels and everything is expensive and I'm such a Marriott fanatic that off brand really worries me. But it looks like Congress Hall is a good choice. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

We went to Cape May 2 years ago and stayed at the Montreal Inn.

We went during the off season (October) and before we had DS, but we both really liked it. Our room was facing the beach, and I think it'd be fine to take a toddler there. There are some great local restaurants, though it can be tough to drive around and find parking, etc.

Beautiful beach though.

Congress hall is okay but be prepared for all the partiers that go there. If you are not wedded to have having a pool I would stay at one of the far ends of Cape May to avoid all the crowds. Also-make sure you stay somewhere with air conditioning since a lot of the historic places have no ac. I stayed at a high end b and B called Rhythem of the Sea that was wonderful but no pool.

We went to Cape May last year with a toddler and an infant and stayed at the Prince Edward Inn in the Garden Suite - basically it was a basement apartment in an old Victorian Home that was one block from all of the shopping and restaurants and one block from the beach! It was perfect - had a kitchennette and a fenced backyard so that our little one could run around safely!! There is also off street parking on site! I couldn't have been happier and we already booked another vacation there this year! Love it! www.princeedwardinn.com
