Long story short, even a "100% Confirmed Reservation" means nothing to the manager of this property. Tale of Woe and Intrigue follows: Inn accepted reservations for two rooms for Nov 25th and 26th. Inn sent an e-mail entitled "100% Confirmed Reservation", and charged my credit card $340.00 for the first night of the two rooms. Based upon these assurances, airline... more

The Southern Mansion can't decide whether it wants to be a B&B or a museum and thus fails at both. The beds were definitely antiques and quite uncomfortable, the dresser drawers don't open and the toilets don't flush well, either. The wait staff were lovely, the food was average but beware of the rude office staff! Notwithstanding that they promote... more

This has been our 3rd time staying in the Southern Mansion during their peak season and we always have had a great experience. They provide on site parking which is a real plus in Cape May, the rooms are a very nice size and very clean and comfortable. While they have eliminated their afternoon tea service they still provide a... more

I initially tried to reserve a Queen room, but they were booked and we recieved a free upgrade to a King, which was... more

When I & my fiance first arrived we were pleasantly surprised. Having not stayed there before we did not know what to expect and WOW!!! everything was just lovely, the staff, the rooms, the food, the location. We cannot wait top go back. more

This was our second stay here. Everything was nice, the breakfast was very good. Two things detracted from our stay. One was the poor lighting in the living room. It was next to impossible to read in there. Also they used to offer a fairly large afternoon tea service complete with food. They cut this out completely. A pot of... more

We have wanted to stay at Southern Mansion for a long time since we always thought it looked so beautiful. We come to Cape May at least once per year and stay somewhere different every time. Unfortunately we were really disappointed. The pros: --Beautiful grounds and building (crown molding is something to behold) --Clean rooms --Housekeeping staff (most) very nice... more

The Southern Mansion was a beautiful Bed & Breakfast in a place where there is an abundance of beautiful B & Bs. What makes the Southern Mansion special was the size of the rooms, the breakfast, the grounds, and the history. We stayed in a Deluxe King room ($260 per night): the room was large with a fabulous four poster... more
