This motel is located right on the mall, just a couple of blocks from the beach. The booking process is easy and everyone is friendly. The pool is nice too. And it is right across the street from the very pricey Congress Hall, so you can go over there and have a cocktail. The rooms are OK. Some of it... More

Stayed in room 207, great location and clean as others have mentioned. But I cannot remember the last time I ever stayed anywhere that did not offer the travel size shampoo/conditioner or even have a hair dryer in the room. I felt like it was 1970. On the plus side, WiFi and in room refrigerator are helpful. More

We were pleasantly surprised during our stay. We were visiting Cape May for a family wedding and booked our room at the Victorian Motel for one night, primarily based on the location and from reading mostly positive reviews. The recent renovations were appreciated...nicely appointed kitchenette area and living space. The beds were " somehwat average" comfort level. Staff was helpful... More

I agree with the Victorian's #1 rating. Amazing location & walking distance from just about everything. We were there for the annual Cape May Singer Songwriter Festival. Completely enjoyed our stay, and would definitely recommend. Our ONLY complaint for this non-smoking property was that although the rooms themselves were non-smoking, other guests smoked just outside of their rooms. Walking passed... More

The Victorian Motel is perfectly situated at the foot of the pedestrian mall and is only a few blocks walk to the beach. Great for kids, you can feel comfortable letting them walk to the shops without having to cross major streets. The price was very reasonble given the location (if you are looking for bottom budget, it's best to... More

The Victorian was a big favorite of my late mother's, so I looked forward to staying there. I hadn't been in many years, and was and pleasantly surprised by the place. The room was immaculate, updated, well-equipped and well-appointed. Did I mention it was immaculate? I dealt with two different front-desk staff members, and both were exceedingly pleasant and helpful.... More

We spent four nights at the Victorian motel in earlyFebr uary and returned for four nights this past week. The motel is very convenient to all the birdwatching sites in Cape May County. We appreciate the convenience offered by the efficiency units because we enjoy cooking. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The motel staff is friendly and helpful. More
