The Carroll Villa Hotel is one of Cape May's best deals. With a very reasonable price, usually not found in Cape May, you get treated extremely well. The rooms are quaint and clean, and the hotel is located a very short walk from both the shops and the beach. For the cost, the room and the location would be a... More

I was in town for a music festival. The folks at the hotel made everything easy. They seemed down to earth. My room was comfortable. All around, cool spot.

My husband and I are newlyweds and wanted to get away for a weekend. It was my first time ever down to Cape May and I could not have been happier with this bed and breakfast. It was not only adorable, but very clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and the maid service was impeccable. The location is... More

My mother and I had a perfect fall getaway at the Carroll Villa! From the moment I spoke to the owner on the phone to the moment we arrived, everything was attended to we were greeted with friendly service. The room was quaint and old, but "old in a good way". Really took us back in time. The location was... More

We had a wonderful stay at the Carroll Villa.The location is close to everything, so we parked our car and walked everywhere. Our room was first class and very clean. Good bed and my wife loves the bathroom amenities. The new flat screen TVs are a great addition! The $30.00 breakfast voucher is an added benefit and our breakfast was... More

After several previous visits to Cape May this was the first time my wife and I had stayed at the Carroll Villa. Very reasonably priced, particularly as our room rate included an excellent breakfast at the Mad Batter restaurant (in my experience probably the best breakfast in Cape May!). Hotel is comfortable enough for a B&B and is very well... More

The property is on one of the most beautiful streets in Cape May. The accommodations are nice. The room was clean. Breakfast each morning at their restaurant, The Bad Batter, is a huge bonus. We have stayed here numerous times and we have never been disappointed.

The Carroll Villa is a nice, small hotel. We enjoyed our stay, however, there's not much for families with small children in the hotel. Luckily, the weather was perfect, and we spent most of our time at the beach and in town, however, if it were raining, I am not sure what we would have done! Our room did have... More

This hotel / B&B is a wonderful place to stay right in the heart of Cape May. The rooms were nicely decorated, clean (the housekeeping service pretty amazing). I would highly recommend it for couples, families with older children or one young child. We stayed with 3 young children (5, 3 & 20 month old). Not as user friendly for... More

We do have staff who will be happy to help with luggage. Many customers do leave their strollers in our hotel lobby. We do monitor the lobby and... More

Having stayed at this property previously, I thought that I was in for an enjoyable stay, but some things that bugged me: First off the parking really is an issue that needs to be addressed. Strolling the 10 minute walk to the lot may not seem like a big deal, but when you forget something or want to explore the... More
