We decided to book a last minute dinner/stay for New Year’s Eve at The Virginia. (This would have been our 5th visit over the last few years) The next morning (new year’s eve), the whole family woke up with the flu. We called first thing in the AM and asked for a credit knowing they wouldn’t likely refund. We went back and forth with management; they were rude, unaccommodating and refused to help in any way. They said they were a small hotel with small margins - please…they amount they charge, they could own all of Cape May. Actually, they do; It’s one of the many hotels under Cape May resorts! Extremely disappointed in the customer service. This hotel is only out for profit and I wouldn’t doubt they rebooked our room and made double! Shame on them. Buyer beware!

I loved our stay here so much and can’t wait to go back and experience it during the summer. The hotel was so cozy and beautifully decorated for Christmas and the staff was top notch. Location made for an easy walk to the beach and all of the Christmas activities we wanted to do. We also had dinner at The Ebbitt Room one night and enjoyed. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend.

Our stay at the Virginia Hotel was excellent. Even though we only stayed one night, the staff and comfort of the Hotel made this a very memorable experience. We went to Cape May to celebrate my wife's Birthday. Prior to our stay, I communicated with their concierge to order Birthday Ballons and Chocolate covered strawberries for the room for our arrival. Everything was carried our flawlessly. We will definitely return, for more than one night.

The Southern suite is the bottom floor of Red Cottage spacious well furnished luxury linens large kitchen just a great space for a group to gather, also its own porch space. The valets are excellent and unloaded a group of women with tons of luggage graciously and expertly. The service overall is superb the front desk and Hanna do a great job. The Virginia room bar with fireplaces lit and music at night is across the street, best social spot place in Cape May with great food and service by Leo. Prime spot in Cape May with down from the beach and mall.

Our 15th Year In A Row!!! Front Desk Staff ( Paolo A Super Star) On Their A Game! Breakfast Service -extremely short staffed - 40 minutes in and no coffee or utensils-( and this after filling a card out every night for time and order) Beds super comfortable, European linens, Avoid Room 302 if noise and food smells bother you as this is directly above the garden dining area! Cocktail hour service is perfect and ERoom dining always a treat! Beach area with Cabana, towel, and chair service is truly a treat! Have their signature Watermelon Mint and Coconut Cocktail- it is amazing!
