Providing "history and comfort" year-round, this 1816 Victorian Cape May property exudes endless "charm", thanks to its "gorgeous" views of the ocean and town, its "cozy bar area" and its "superbly decorated", though "small", rooms, some sporting claw-foot tubs; foodies are relieved it's "within walking distance" of area eateries, however, since a few find the food "mediocre."

Location in proximity to the beach.
The room decor was somewhat outdated and too basic.

The style, interior and exterior, and service were among the best in Cape May.
Nothing significant.

Congress Hall is a wonderful hotel. It's got a very cool atmosphere, two of the hippest bars/longes in Cape May from what could see. The service was outstanding and the facilities were terrific. I'd definitely go again.

The lobby was nice and the staff was pleasant.
The room - everything except the flat screen TV. Slanted floor, gap under doors. Heater did not work.

It's an old building that they tried to update. The walls are cracked up, floors are slanted, the doors had a 3" gap under them, the heater didn't work. The only positive thing I can say was that the bed was soft and the flat screen TV was nice. The room was very small.

The public spaces are truly majestic and lovely.
Rooms lack character compared to B&B.

It is extremely well located adjacent to shoppng area, events and beach, and of course, Cape May is a wonderful town for strolling and admiring the many well-kept Victorian homes. I think we got really good value for an overnight trip, and although the room was less antique-y than a B&B, one cannot always get a B&B for a single night.
