Congress Hall

The look of disgust and the eye roll from the waitress when we ordered one drink instead of two because I was driving… really? Not that it should matter, but it was a Tuesday night with plenty of empty tables. We’ve been longtime customers of Congress Hall and The Virginia, and experiences like this are disappointing.

Our stay at the Virginia (which is part of the Cape Resorts properties) was once again perfect. The Virginia is a tranquil property located in the heart of Cape May and is in close proximity to shops and restaurants and a short walk to the beach, making it a perfect location. From making our reservations on-line to help with dining reservations, the staff is always there to make sure you are having the best experience. Because this is a Cape Resorts properties property, you have access to all of the other properties and their amenities. (Virginia does not have a pool but you can use the one at Congress Hall). One thing to note is that this hotel doesn’t have an elevator so that might be of importance if you have mobility issues, but it’s only 3 floors and the stairs are broken down to several short runs with landings in between.

Only reason I gave a 4 is the birds outside bothering some folks. My husband & I both really enjoyed the Superfood bowl with grilled chicken. I also liked the 4 Presidents IPA draft. It was a nice day on the patio & the background music was good & not loud (ie: Fleetwood Mac etc.). Service was good.

This hotel is “top shelf” and everyone is so accommodating and nice. I would definitely recommend staying here.

The Beach Shack is the perfect spot to enjoy the gorgeous ocean front, a cool vibe in the beach bar area with spacious, clean rooms with a great surf motif! Nice little kitchenette and separate seating area was really nice & teh upscale vice of the motel was lovely. Live music daily with excellent artists was above & beyond!
