Old-school Inn, reminiscent of a European pension, in central Cape May location. Do not book rooms 101 or 102, unless you want all the ambience of an IRT subway running beneath you. Very loud, vibrating laundry facility appears to be housed under the first floor. The bathroom floor literally shakes during the spin cycle. Heating unit (assuming it is also the air conditioning unit) is very noisy when it goes on/off. Rooms are small, very few electric outlets (be prepared to charge your electronics in the bathroom), with very dim lighting not conducive to reading. Very simple Continental breakfast provided to your room. On the positive side, the location is excellent, fireplace in the common room is delightful during cooler months and the Lemonade porch/veranda looks like it would be nice during the summer, attractive little bar/dining room. There are so many lovely places in Cape May, you would do better to investigate other options.

Enjoyed our Presidents weekend stay. Service was good and the morning continental breakfast delivery to our room was a nice touch. The restaurant was fabulous and piano playing Sat night made things lively and conveniently kept us inside during a cold snow flurry weekend. The room was nice and the hotel is close to beach, stores and sister property, Congress hall (check out Blue Pig for lunch). Things were quiet in town but Cape May has more going on in the winter than most shore towns. I can't wait to go back in the summer.

My boyfriend and I had not booked a room when we arrived at cape may. We were undecided between a b&b or a hotel.. As we walked down the street, during a kind do dreary, cold & drizzly day, we saw the virgina hotel, and decided to check it out. As we walked in the ambiance is what did it for me. It was nicely lit, and decorated, looked classy and chic, and the warm fire in the lobby made me feel right at home. We booked a room, at a reasonable price, and were happy to find a really nice, clean, and beautiful & spacious room. We didn't have a chance to dine at the restaurant on site, but we did order from the continental breakfast menu. I was really happy with the breakfast, and even happier to see that the fresh fruit, eggs and honey were all from a nearby farm. How cool! I went and visited the farm during another trip, it was nice and had a self guided tour! I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a luxurious place to stay in cape may!

We stayed for one night, Saturday of the January long weekend, as a quick getaway from New York and to see a new area. Like someone else said the the hotel is a cross between a B&B and a swanky hotel. Valet parking is a nice touch and its good you can choose where and when you want breakfast but the restaurant downstairs is quite expensive and there are very few alternative options for places to go in winter. Our dinner was good but trying too hard - too much seasoning on the steak and tiny sides of vegetables which they didnt even apologize for when we complained.
The town is really pretty and I imagine it would be crazy busy in summer. If I was to go back in summer I would probably stay in more of an apartment than here but it was a nice option for one night.
