What a great old hotel with all the top amenities. Remodeled to feel new but still has the old time charm. Rooms are spacious and very clean. Nice bathrooms and the bedding is tops. The only complaint we had was our room was next to an electrical closet and we kept hearing a motor or heater unit turning on and off throughout the night. The Blue Pig Tavern was top notch for dinner. Very nice bar but on the small side and we weren't able to get a seat on the 2 nights we tried.

Wonderful, cozy and historic hotel right on the beach in Cape May, NJ. Excellent service all the way around, beautiful views from ocean-view rooms and wonderful dining options at Brown Room, The Blue Pig Tavern (our fav for breakfast!). Overall, we highly recommend this gem of a beach resort getaway, and we will be back!

I have been coming to Congress Hall & their other Cape Resort hotels such as Virginia Hotel, Star Inn, Beach Shack or Sandpiper (I will mention their houses, apartments at the promenade, and their hotel at the distant farmhouse but I’ve never stayed there) every year since 2004 plus I actually spent a long honeymoon weekend here in 2014 without hesitation as a symbol of my dedication to the cape resorts. It is a staple and a gem to Cape May and I never stay anywhere else. I had even invited several of my doctor friends to impress; so it is a real establishment to visit. In the past, I’ve met owners of other Cape May Hotels (which I should not reveal by name) come here to enjoy a cigar on their Great Lawn which is now called The Veranda. They told me how much they love this Hotel and how they are purchasing other motels to try to convert them to mimic the Congress Hall Hotel and their other Cape Resort properties that replicate Congress Hall. Most impressive is their service to their guests from their dedicated staff. They recruit their seasonal staff from eastern Europe and provide room & board in Cape May for them for the Summer. This year however, I’ve never felt such humiliation from asian-hate discrimination their bike rental company’s Manager that Cape Resorts contracted or possibly outsourced to represent them. It’s been there as long as I have been visiting them since 2004 and they used to have new bikes for Weddings they used to promote heavily for but now the bikes are 21 years old and the bell wasn’t even functioning altho the brakes were fine so that’s Congress Bikes for you now. I told the manager at the front desk but she apologized and by pretty much acted sympathetic and dismissed the whole incident. If you are an asian family, you’ll most likely not stay here because the $1050/night cost (after all the fees), and the bike rental being $35/ hour is totally out of your over calculated and cheap mind. Oh and please tip more than a dollar because asian families never seem to tip because it rhymes with cheap.

My family had thee most magical stay at Beach Plum Resort. We booked the Hill Barn cottage and my goodness it far exceeded any expectations we had. Beautiful, warm, cozy and stocked with breakfast items to make our lives easy in the AM with two little ones and a beautifully decorated Christmas tree to bring the holiday cheer early. We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting Cape May for the first time or 10th time, it is not a place you want to miss! The staff is beyond kind, accommodating, caring, proactive, and responsive. At check in we were greeted by Gauge who was so sweet, showed us the ropes and lent himself to us to make our stay as seamless as possible. We had the best nights of sleep in a while, which for toddler and infant parents you know that means a lot. The staff even helped us bring the holiday dinner series home to our room since we couldn’t attend with a 4 yr old and 5 month old and when I tell you they went over the top, they went over the TOP! We were greeted by wonderful staff who set the table for an enchanted date night and the food was so so delicious. We were given complimentary tickets for Congress Hall Winter Wonderland which was so much fun for us and the kiddos, and we got to drive there using a golf cart the resort provided us with. I’m telling you, Beach Plum Resort doesn’t miss a beat, it is a must visit destination and we will be telling everyone about it!

Our stay at the Virginia Hotel was excellent. Even though we only stayed one night, the staff and comfort of the Hotel made this a very memorable experience. We went to Cape May to celebrate my wife's Birthday. Prior to our stay, I communicated with their concierge to order Birthday Ballons and Chocolate covered strawberries for the room for our arrival. Everything was carried our flawlessly. We will definitely return, for more than one night.

We visited for the day. Took the history tour very informative and interesting. The history of the property is surprising. After the tour we walked around taking in the beautiful landscape and beach. After we enjoyed cocktails in The Brown room a probation style bar.
