This gem of a hotel is very well maintained and staffed (everyone we encountered was very helpful and friendly.) A must visit bar in the Brown Room (complete with a cozy fire); an endless row of rocking chairs along the outside walkway (overlooking the pool, koi pond and nicely landscaped courtyard, which stretches seaward); wonderful dining at the Ebbitt Room... more

I booked directly through the hotel via telephone and confirmed they honor the AAA discount. Upon check-in, when giving my credit card, I noticed that no discount had been applied, but was assured by the receptionist that I would settle it w/o any problem upon check-out, that all I would have to do is show my card. The premises itself... more

I have traveled to Congress Hall 4 different years. Overall a good experience. The rooms and ocean view are my favorite part. The beds are fabulous, the decor truly refreshing, the bathrooms spacious, and Aveda products are such a perk. It is a pricey place but I just enjoy the rooms. Another great amenity is having the staff at the... more

Congress Hall is supposed to be a well appointed, picturesque hotel situated on the beach in beautiful Cape May, NJ. In truth, Congress Hall is little more than a night club with rooms. The "hotel" had both a night club in the basement and live music in the bar every night of our stay. The music lasted until well after... more

We arrived for a one night getaway around 5 pm. We entered the hotel from Beach ave. where there is a large sign for Congress Hall and a Valet booth. There was a wedding reception taking place. There was no one in valet area, searched for some kind of help with our bags. An employee (on a cell phone-not sure... more

Let me preface this review by saying I hated Cape May and never intend to go back. To an extent, this reflected poorly on the hotel, because for $400 a night I'd rather fly to Bermuda or Miami and have great restaurants and pristine beaches than the mediocre restaurants and so so beach at Cape May. But my main complaint... more

We stayed at this hotel for a few nights to get away and enjoy Cape May. The hotel is lovely, lots of charm, wonderful staff, housekeeping great. We enjoyed the old style feel of the hotel for sure and found the amenities to be very nice - including the newly renovated spa which is top notch. Two big negatives -... more

We took a trip to South Jersey and spent 2 nights in Atlantic City and then 2 nights in Cape May at the Congress Hall. The Congress Hall is a very elegant hotel that is well-maintained and exceeded my expectations. We chose this hotel because we like luxury and usually prefer to stay in places like The Fairmont or Ritz... more

We're just back from a family vacation..myself, husband and our 4 year old twin girls. We all had a fantastic time and loved the Congress Hall. It completely lives up to its reputation as a classy hotel. The grounds were ultra clean and expansive and in such close proximity to the mall and the beach. Their restaurant the Blue Pig... more
