We loved our stay at Carroll Villa! The hotel is situated very close to the center of town so once you parked your car it was virtually unnecessary to move it. The hotel is older so it does have its 'rickety' issues, but overall it was great! My only two complaints were that the door to our room (Room 21... More

Thank you very much for your exhaustive review on the Mad Batter Restaurant and Carroll Villa Hotel...We try and make everyones stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. One issue, which I must respond to, is that Room 21 has a queen bed and not a full bed.....This is positively positively a queen. More

Wonderful antique decor. Very friendly & helpful staff. One block from the beach & 2 blocks from shopping. Quiet, spacious rooms with excellent amenities & nice little 'extras' like chocolate dipped strawberries, large portion breakfasts, dependable WiFi... AND the absolute BEST coffee you will have outside of New Orleans. Thanks for a great little get away. :-) More

Thank you very much for your review...I agree that the coffee is the best! The Sumatran Mandeeling blend has been a house favorite for over 20 years...Have a great Winter and hope to see you again! More

Carroll Villa is a charming Victorian B&B. It is large enough (I think 20 some rooms) to allow you to do your own thing or socialize with the other guests. Having the Mad Batter (think incredible pancakes at breakfast) restaurant on-site is a huge plus. The restaurant serves upscale food for all meals with generous portions. They willingly accommodate substitutions... More

Thanks for the wonderful review. It always brings a smile to your face when reading positive feedback with your first cup of coffee in the morning. As a third generation business, in a national landmark building we are proud to uphold a part of history of Cape May and to be a player in the hospitality business. Please say hello... More

The staff was extremely nice and accommodating. The room had a good view to the beach and most of all very peaceful and relaxing. Last but not least the breakfast at the Mad Batter was delish! My husband and I plan on returning this spring or summer. More

We have been going to Cape May to celebrate New Years for quite a while and we always stay at the Carroll Villa. Lovely rooms in a great location, just a few steps from shopping and the beach. And the Mad Batter restaurant is right under roof. Also, the staff is friendly and helpful. Last year I had a medical... More

The Carroll Villa is a wonderful place to stay. I stayed there recently with my now fiance. I notified the staff via email that I was planning on proposing to my girlfriend during our stay. They were very accommodating and ensured that everything went off without a hitch. The hotel itself is very nice. We stayed in a room without... More

We had an amazing time in Cape May this winter staying at the Carroll Villa Hotel because of the living social deal. The rooms were a little small, but this is made up for by the very, very comfortable feeling of a country home. Everything was updated like you would find in a modern hotel except the ambiance made you... More

I also like taking the ferry across from Delaware...One is always on the lookout for porpoises and stray German U boats from WWII-(just kidding). It is a great 90 minute ride along the bay and beats driving...You can even have a cocktail on board..We do have larger rooms so please look on the website to see all the choices....carrollvilla.com Please...

Comfortable and clean, but a little worn in. Bed was comfy, but pillows were horrible (front desk manager said they were in process of replacing all pillows, thankfully.) Decor was Victorian inspired but in that floral-wallpaper-overkill kind of way. Whole place needs a coat of fresh paint. Breakfast at the Mad Batter restaurant was the highlight - food and service...
