Arrival Information

Check-in time is 2PM until 8PM. If you expect to be later than 8PM, guest must notify us in writing so we can make arrangements for your late check in. All late check ins must be confirmed in writing by the innkeeper.  Many guests arrive early and this is not a problem as long as we know when to expect you. If the room has not yet been prepared for you, we will gladly store your luggage at the inn.

Off street parking is provided for 7 specific rooms (see room descriptions for details). For all other rooms there is street parking available on both sides of the street. For your convenience, during check-in and check-out guests may use the driveways to unload and load. Once you are in Cape May, you won’t need your car much, if at all. Most everything is walking distance and we have bikes. If you need directions to our inn, click here.

Breakfast

COVID UPDATE–

We will operate a little differently this 2021 season. We are following safety guidelines from the county and state. We will have continental breakfast delivered to the room in covered crates. Afternoon refreshments delivered to the room in the same manner. Guests will have option of coming down to common areas. Guests will be asked to practice social distancing guidelines and wear masks in the common areas of the inn as it is mandatory in NJ. We are hopeful that the Covid infection numbers fall in 2021 as a result of herd immunity in union with the Covid vaccine. This will allow us to return to pre-Covid operations so we can serve our guest safely.

Covid Suspended –

Every morning coffee, muffins and fresh whole fruit are available in the dining room by 8am. Additionally, each house provides a Keuring coffee maker and hot and cold water dispenser in the hospitality area 24 hours a day. Some rooms have coffee makers as an amenity. The Bacchus Inn offers a seated breakfast at 8:30am or 9:45am. Each breakfast seating is limited to 16 people. Times will be slotted based on availability at check-in. Breakfast menus are provide on the room door the evening before.  Breakfasts alternate every other day between a sweet main course and a savory main course. Each breakfast offers a fresh fruit 1st course followed by the main entree which includes a breakfast meat and main entree. We alternate between 6 different breakfasts a week. Some breakfast are only available in certain seasons. Cereal, including oatmeal, is listed on the menu and available daily as an alternative.

Housekeeping 2021

No daily room makeups, but fresh laundry may be delivered in basket to the guest room door. Room sanitation at checkout will have added Lysol sanitation then the room will be cleaned. Complimentary bikes and beach chairs will not be available. Everything is subject to change, but this is how we will operate until further notice. The Bacchus Inn appreciates that change is not always comfortable but we are attempting to provide a safe experience while following guidelines so vacation time in Cape May can resume.

Cape May Attractions
There is more to Cape May than just the beach and the Victorian charm. To some people this is enough. Although we do find on occasion we get asked, “What can we do while we’re in Cape May?” If you are asking that very same question, click here.

Cape May Restaurants
Cape May restaurants are plentiful and very good! Reservations to most of the fine dining establishments are recommended. In the summer months, holidays, and special event weekends, reservations are a must! Do not hesitate to contact the innkeepers to help you make reservations. For our dining suggestions, click here.
