I had a decent stay overall with updated rooms that were clean and well-maintained. Access to local spots was great, but the noise from the nearby restaurant made it hard to enjoy restful nights. Parking was a challenge during peak hours, and I didn't find the value for what I paid, especially considering the issues with loud music at night.

We had a lovely stay at this hotel! The beach is just a short walk away, and the complimentary beach service was such a great perk for our family. Our room was freshly updated and nice, making our stay quite comfortable. However, we did find the pool area to be a bit in need of some renovations. Overall, a great place for a family getaway, but some aspects could use some sprucing up.

We had a lovely time at the Beach Shack. The rooms were very clean and nicely updated, making our stay comfortable. The kids really enjoyed the pool and the beach was just across the street. However, we did encounter some noise issues during our stay, particularly from nearby parties, which disrupted the tranquil vibe we were hoping for. Overall, it was a good experience, but the noise could be a deal-breaker for some.

We had a fantastic stay at the Beach Shack in Cape May! The beach service made everything so easy, and the room was recently remodeled and comfortable. However, the noise from the Rusty Nail could be quite disruptive at night, and the pool area felt a bit outdated. Overall, it was a good experience, but be mindful of your room location if you're looking for peace and quiet.

The Beach Shack offers a cozy ambiance and is conveniently located right across the street from the beach, making it a lovely spot for a vacation. The rooms are stylish and comfortable, giving a sense of relaxation. However, the dining situation was a letdown as the on-site Rusty Nail restaurant was closed during my visit, and the noise levels from the nearby bar and units were bothersome. Additionally, the services offered didn't meet expectations, with issues regarding the wet carpet and inadequate response from staff regarding concerns.
