Unbelievable service! Like unbelievably nice and great! Shout outs to Jarrett at the desk and everything else! Adorable Angel in maintenance, who saved the day when my tv was acting up and the fire wasn’t fired up enough! Preston, the cutest lil helper guy who was only on his second day but was trying so hard! Gosh, just everybody! Super kind, helpful and warm! I mean it’s a beautiful, big, old drafty house, so the place isn’t perfect. But the food and service by far outweigh a few drafty spots, thin walls and a hard mattress. Every single person we met here was like “Disney nice” including the other guests! Met some great folks, ate the most amazing mashed potatoes I’ve ever had and took waaay too many showers in the small but modern bathroom. Rain shower head thingy. Sooo much water! I was in heaven! Stay here! Not cheap but eff it, worth every penny!

We have stayed at Congress Hall in the past, but this was the first time staying at the cottages. We stayed in the pink cottage, in a beautifully appointed King room with an ocean view. The cottages are a row of small houses across the street from the Virginia hotel. You can rent a room, or the entire cottage with the kitchen on the first floor. There are no elevators and to get to your room you climb a narrow winding staircase. The rooms start on the second floor, so if you have accessibility issues this cottage might not be for you They really did a nice job renovating the rooms, while keeping the charm of the house. The bedding is superb. They give you beautiful white robes. The bathroom has a beautiful glass door walk in shower. The toiletries are all from their spa and are so luxurious. The room we had on the second floor had so much light with all the ocean facing windows. It is a short walk to the beach and the mall where many of the shops and restaurants are We visited during covid, and they had extra precautions and even supplied wipes and hand sanitizer in the room Breakfast was brought to your room, or you could have it on the porch of the hotel across the street. You fill out a card and leave it on your door the night before, with what you would like, and what time you would like it. This is where I deducted 1 star. This is where they were lacking. The first day they delivered cold coffee. Unfortunately there is no phone in your room to call anyone. No front desk so to speak. I tried getting through to the hotel but that didn’t work. There is a Nespresso machine in the room without any directions on how to use it so not much luck with that. The next day we noted on the form to please make sure the coffee was hot. Well guess what? They delivered breakfast without any coffee!! Luckily we realized it and told the delivery person. He did apologize and went to get us a pot of coffee. He came back quickly with the coffee but we didnt realize they had also forgotten my yogurt, so we had to run after him again to tell him. He cane back with the yogurt shortly after. Not a good breakfast experience. Here are some observations that would be nice. Instructions on how to use the Nespresso. A phone in the room so you can easily get in touch with someone in case there is a problem These little issues would not deter us from staying here again. We enjoyed our little get away!

My wife and I have travelled a lot over many years, and our room at Virginia Hotel was one of the nicest we have ever stayed in. The entire hotel exudes the Victorian charm that people come to Cape May to experience, as it is is full of cozy little nooks where guests can relax and enjoy privacy even at busy times. The association with Congress Hall (just steps away) provides access to amenities unavailable at other small hotels, and the location is perfectly situated for access to the beach AND the main shopping/dining areas Finally, we found the staff very friendly as well as efficient
