My husband and I spent Labor Day weekend at the Lokal Hotel and will definitely return. The hotel is like no other place to stay in Cape May. I've stayed at some of the old Victorian inns, rented a full house during COVID, and splurged on Congress Hall in the past. Going forward, this will be our go-to place to stay in Cape May. The owner has really thought through every need and incorporated it in the design and amenities in the rooms. We were in Room 201 which is a studio. We loved the quality of the bed linens and robes (I'll be buying some for our own home!). The coffee that you can make in your room is some of the best I've tasted. I'm very picky about liking light cream (not half and half) in my coffee. Usually when I travel, I know I'm not going to get what I have at home, but low and behold, we arrived the first day to find light cream in the fridge waiting for us! I knew then that I was in love.
The location can't be beat. The beach is steps away. Beach service is provided, so all you need to bring is a book and sunscreen. If you don't want to be at the beach, the pool is nice and relaxing. There were other guests using the pool with their children when we were there. Everyone was very friendly and considerate.
Some nice touches: the toilet is in its own room, the shower turns on at the far end of the shower so you don't get wet turning it on, they provide a Yeti cooler and tumblers for the pool/beach, the tv has Netflix provided. Just in our studio there were four different places for us to sit.
I was nervous about the fact that there is no front desk. We have had bad experiences with such a set up in the past. Here is was no problem. Your room has everything you need, and there are additional supplies in the foyer. I don't need a house keeper changing my sheets and towels every day, so preferred the privacy we enjoyed rather than having someone coming into our room every day to clean.
Honestly, I wouldn't change a thing.
