We spent July 4th weekend at this semi-B&B located about 2 blocks from the pedestrian mall. Southern Mansion charges rates equivalent to the better hotels and B&B's in Cape May. While we enjoyed a very large room with excellent towels, linens and bedding, and while the public areas are very well maintained, there are several things missing that would put... More

Pros: I visit cape May several times a year during all seasons. I have tried numerous Bed and Breakfasts including the Queen Victoria, which is top rated. in addition, I have stayed in the Virginia Hotel and Congress Hall, which are great in the summer because of the pool, and yet, always return to the Southern Mansion. It has beautiful... More

My stay at the southern mansion was delighted. My boyfriend and I booked them through another website, and we were pleasantly surprised. The outer and inner decor of the building was remarkable, the rooms were huge and nicely decorated. They served a delicious breakfast with all the fixing. My only concern about SM was the old wooden antique beds in... More

While there may be many nice places to stay in Cape May, nothing compares to the Southern Mansion. The beautiful rooms, lush grounds, delicious breakfasts and personal attention from the staff make your stay a memorable one. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by Rita, a knowledgeable, friendly host who had wonderful suggestions for where to go and what to... More

My wife and I started staying here before we were married. 12 years (& 2 kids) later, the Southern Mansion continues to be our favorite 'getaway' destination - domestic or international. Forget calling their team a 'staff,' from the moment you arrive - they immediately make you feel like family. We've never been disappointed with a request (and we've tried... More

My husband, daughter and I traveled to Cape May to look at real estate and stayed in a suite configured as a room and loft with its own solarium - beautiful! However, the loft which housed the king bed, while lovely, had very low ceilings, and neither my husband nor I could stand up straight in the room. This was... More

Thank you for your review. We agreed the coffee was not good that day! So we went out and implemented a whole new system. It is really delicious now. Hope you'll get to try it again soon! Thanks again ! Denise More

I come to Cape May because it provides me with another place in time. A get away from home that allows me to truly relax. My husband and I have been coming down for years and we have stayed at a number of hotels and B & B's. Then we found the Southern Mansion. Well I can't say enough. You... More

My husband and I have been to Cape May many times and have stayed in numerous B & B's and inns. This was truly spectacular. The room was large and felt cozy, at the same time like being in a museum. The breakfast and service was excellent. The porch where breakfast was served had romantic tables for two. The Mansion... More

We have just returned from our trip this past week-end. It was our first time staying at the Southern Mansion and I was pleasantly surprised. It is one of the most charming places I have ever stayed at, really unique by its interiors and cozy atmosphere, especially for this time of the year (December). The fireplaces in the living room...
