Water leaked on our heads in the very small bathroom. It was only fixed temporarily and caused 2 out of our 4 nights to be exhausting. The real issue however was the staffs cheerful attitude that getting back to our room after dinner the first night to 2 inches of water wasn't any big deal. Maintenance wanted to leave the huge garbage can sitting on the toilet till the next day. No offer was made to move us and by the third night the floor was soaked again. Checking out I was told they "made a note not to put me in the same room next year" After seeing my face at the nerve the manager came out and took $150 off our bar bill. Nothing about this hotel was as good as previous year. Cleaning minimal, sheets not changed, cheap toilet paper and tissues.

Beautifully designed hotel, spacious room and shower bathroom, and includes breakfast on the veranda or dining room. Another great plus are the beach chairs and towels provided for you on the beach, so need to lug your own. The staff is professional but aloof. Was surprised by the $43 plus for “resort fees” especially when it rained so no beach for us ! No onsite parking so had to use their valet parking ( surprised by that also - a good thing, no charge) . The downside are the steps, as there is no elevator in this 61 room hotel. These were a problem for my friend, as the stairs are quite steep. … so be advised . Cape May has become so crowded with tourists it feels like NYC sidewalks walking around. And this hotel was so busy it was not the quiet retreat I had wanted

The Virginia Hotel is classy and cozy. The service is wonderful. The public spaces in the lounge and porch are perfect. Cocktails are superb. Cannot say the same about the food at the Ebbit Room, which was disappointing based on previous experience. Would recommend patronizing a BYOB such as Peter Shields, which has never disappointed. If breakfast not included, would be worth the splurge to order and have delivered to your room. The food is imaginative, satisfying and serviced elegantly on a silver platter w/ white cloth.

Read the fine print folks. This establishment took our $540 deposit readily. When we had to cancel over a week out due to illness - they would not honor the deposit in anyway. No partial refund, no gift card for future stay, no credit for a future stay. .We understood non-refundable - but this business practice is horrible. Never in 40 years of travel have I run into this. Buyer beware.

It was a last minute decision to stay at the Virginia. I was working in the area and a huge storm hit. What a wonderful experience! The Inn was a haven in the storm with fire places going and an active, attentive staff. The bartender was quite a mixologist, relating information on Chartreuse liquor and Negroni cocktails while making fabulous martinis (the tequila expresso is my favorite). The sheets on my queen size bed were softer than soft. As rainy and windy as it was outside, I was snuggly warm inside, as host Jarrett assured me. The next morning, I enjoyed a delicious and elegant breakfast in the Ebbitt Room (my choice) and already the fireplace was lit. Again, the staff was very attentive. I really hated to leave.

The Virginia Hotel is top shelf for luxury and comfort at a reasonable price. My wife and I were celebrating our 43rd wedding anniversary and were extremely pleased with the hotel and staff. The room was spacious and comfortable. The continental breakfast was acceptable which we had served to us on the wrap-around veranda each morning. We did not dine at restaurant which is very highly rated, however we did have drinks one evening in the piano bar which was relaxing. The hotel is 2 blocks off the beach and very close to the pedestrian mall/ shopping. The hotel is owned by a hospitality group which also owns Congress Hall and Beach Plum Inn where you can utilize their facilities. Overall, I highly recommend a stay when visiting the Cape May area. We will definitely come back very soon.

Absolutely fabulous. If you are going to Cape May do yourself a favor and stay at the Virginia. Beautiful, clean, great staff, comfortable quiet rooms and the bar and restaurant (Ebbitt's) were the best we found in Cape May. Top flight.

We stayed in the garden apartment. Things we loved: convenience to the beach and town, use of pool at Congress Hall, EXTREMELY comfortable bed, great air-conditioning, washer/dryer outside our room, friendly staff at Virginia Hotel, chocolate chip cookies at the Virginia Hotel lobby. We did not love being on the first floor and kept the blinds shut, so it was a little dark- still it was great. We also had a parking spot just outside the cottage. Breakfast was not included since we had a kitchen but there are plenty of great places for breakfast nearby.

We love the Virginia . We stayed at red cottage (southern suite) . We had our own little porch which my 3 year old granddaughter just adored being out there . The service and employees are top notch! Jarrett was so kind and giving to us. He just takes the extra time to be nice and accommodating. The ebbitt is always great as well as porch to have some horderves and drinks !!! Swimming at Congress hall is always fun !!!!! Best time and lovely staff. Rooms are very nice !!!!
