The hotel is in a prime location just off the beach. i called to book a last minute trip for one night. At time of check in they even upgraded my room to a suite with no extra charge since it was available. it was very clean and the facility staff was very friendly and courteous.

Stayed here one night in town for a wedding. The people at the front desk were very helpful and friendly. The room was large with a kitchenette and seating area. It was definitely clean and the bathroom was updated. Keep in mind, it is a motel though, and the furnishings have not been updated in awhile.

My cousin and I chose this motel based on Trip Advisor reviews. We reserved an ocean-facing room with two double beds, a microwave and small fridge. The room was clean and had two plastic chairs outside on the balcony so we could sit, watch the ocean and have a drink. The Sea Crest is walking distance to the Washington Street... More

Stayed here for 3 nights for our anniversary and had a great time. Hotel is a little out dated and room lay out was a little weird. We stayed in an ocean view suite but very clean and customer service was great.

Good location- across from the beach- and excellent views of the sunrise. Pool was open in early October- inviting and brisk when you got out. Well worth a visit but probably mobbed during he summer. Hope they survived Superstorm Sandy!

We had another very enjoyable stay for two nights at the Sea Crest. Great location, with beautiful view of the beach. Close to Cape May Point and great birding activities. Very clean and comfortable rooms, and pleasant staff.

Clean, comfortable beach view property. We had a wonderful 3rd floor ocean view room that was very comfortable and enjoyed watching the ocean over coffee both mornings we were there. It is an older property but the bed was very comfortable and the staff was very helpful.
