We decided to splurge and stayed at the Southern Mansion for 2 nights -- overall, it was worth it. The Mansion itself is beautiful and clean, very grand and historic. The room we stayed in (#23) was huge, with a great cupola / skylight right above the bed. Breakfast was delicious -- better than expected: You can choose between 3... more

After several web searches, we identified the "Southern Mansion" as an environment which could meet our needs for a family reunion. We were right. Rooms were elegant, parking on the premises, flexibility of the staff. All 30 family members loved the mansion....staff was accomadating to our special requests. My 85 year old Mother loved walking through the beautifully maintained gardens... more

Just got back from a mini break weekend at the Southern Mansion. I love to read reviews but rarely write them. The Southern Mansion experience has compelled me to break with that tradition. I will start by saying that the building and grounds are beautiful. Our room was also very nice. The included breakfast and afternoon tea were also very... more

If you think of this as a Bed and Breakfast rather than a hotel you will be happier. The services are limited. The staff was helpful but this is not a fully-staffed hotel. We had a family meeting and all the arrangements were well taken care of. All the dinner reservations were handled well. Our room was on the second... more

We just returned from another visit to the Southern Mansion, and every time we are there we fall more in love with it. We had a king premier room and it was wonderful. So was the breakfast and the afternoon tea. The hotel is spotless and I love the bed linens. The staff is friendly and we honestly feel like... more

We just returned from the Southern Mansion and had the best weekend! We attended the Cape May Jazz Festival and it was a blast! Our room was amazing! The stay included breakfast and afternoon tea that was delicious! The servers were great. The two young ladies at the desk were truly helpful. They were very knowledgeable of town events and... more

What a beautiful place! I took my then fiancee, now husband, to the Southern Mansion for his birthday (this is now 6 years ago and we both still remember it!). We both enjoyed every minute. The rooms were so beautifully done in period furnishings and the mansion itself just seeped in history. We loved riding bikes in the neighborhood and... more
