love Cape May and Congress Hall. Everyone at the front desk was exceptional. Had a mixup with our room and Stephanie at the front desk handled it without a hitch. more

Excellent hotel. We stayed for 2 nights with our two kids ages 7 & 5. Room was very pretty and comfortable for all four of us. Make sure you get a room with two full size beds if traveling with kids, and try to get an Ocean View room. Very convenient to beach, excellent service. We felt very welcomed. Light... more

A friend and I decided to take a few days for a "girls get-away" and we were not disappointed with the Congress Hall. We booked during the pre-season Manager's Special and were very impressed. Our room and accommodations were top-notch. The manager's special came with breakfast each morning and a cocktail reception in the late afternoon - all well worth... more

My wife and I decieded to take a last minute trip over the Memorial weekend to Cape May. We actually found out about Congress Hall from trip advisor. So we checked out their website and after shopping around for prices we ended up booking on expedia....MISTAKE! When we arrived we were just stunned at how beuatifully maintained the building was... more

We stayed three nights over Memorial Day weekend. Had a fourth floor, corner room with Town view, very private and quiet. The hotel, pool, Tavern, bar and other amenities were all great. The room was cleaned and towels replaced several times a day. The only complaint I had was that the lobby staff was not welcoming or helpful in the... more

We give them a "c" rating because the view and location are wonderful. The staff and lack of amentities are not. A cold, impersonal feeling resonates from the front desk to the gardner. Not a dresser or refrig. For $235 a night. We informed the hotel two weeks in advance that we were on our honeymoon and they not only... more

For my fiancee's 30th birthday, I booked a weekend stay at Congress Hall - we had originally visited a year ago, when we were considering having our wedding at the hotel, and both fell in love with the place. The common areas of the hotel are gorgeous, so it was nice to see that same simple, classy style carried over... more

We just stayed there during March spring break. When we approached the hotel, it was lovely. When we checked in at reception we were greeted with a very standoffish almost snobby attitude, not a hint of friendliness. Everyone was like that even the maids for turndown service. Not at all friendly and warm. We loved our room on the top... more

We stayed at this pretty hotel - right on the boardwalk / beach. It is old, reasonably well maintained, clean however "tired" in several respects - plumbing that was close to fully functional in the tub yet a lovely shower - tiny TV yet huge room with a great view. Breakfast left something to be desired with cold potatoes yet... more

My wife and I just got back from our yearly trip to Cape May and as usual we stay at Congress Hall. This place is just wonderful. The food at the Blue Pig is really good, and the rooms are real cozy. We love the night club and the town. We go in the off season because its quite. We... more
