    I was not happy with the late check in of 4pm. I received a text message from the hotel that asked my arrival time. I texted back 1pm. The room was not ready. Why did they ask and not have the room ready?

    The room was very comfortable. The hotle was built in 1816 so the expected uneven floors and imprerfections were expected. The total feel of the hotel was perfect.

    Our room was right next to an outdoor air condenser. Very very loud. We both did not sleep well because of it. We told the staff when we checked out.

    The view of the ocean from our room. The breakfast was superb! The history and beauty of the grounds and building. The closeness to the market was very nice. Very nice beach town.

    The cafe was under-staffed for a weekend so there was quite a wait for breakfast beverages and food and my order was missed so I had to repeat my request.

    Loved the history and room was decorated very nicely. I enjoyed the toiletries from the local farm. The bed was very comfortable and staff very helpful. Breakfast was not included but I used the cafe service for morning coffee and a muffin. The valets were very quick and obliging

    We were on the 3rd floor, and there was an extra set of stairs that were connecting us to our room. I wasn’t aware of this during the booking process and it caused inconvenience because we had a stroller for our 2 year old

    Old but well maintained hotel, very clean. It’s very convenient that that they have a coffee shop onsite! I loved that.

    the price of our room might have been better for this time of year. The weather was too cold and windy to walk the beach. We tried sitting outside, but it was a bit too cold.

    We really enjoyed the history in the hall. The shops were interesting and everyone we encountered was very nice and helpfull. The breakfast in the restaurant was excellent.

    Our king bed was so high that I had to ask for a stepstool!

    The Blue Pig restaurant was great for dinner and breakfast. Tommy's Folly was convenient for coffee. The premises are historic, yet have modern comforts. A bit pricy, but worth it.

    Cost, pretentious,

    We owned a home in Cape May for 25 years and we have stayed at Congress Hall in the past. The price for our accommodations was too high. It's a nice historical place, but over priced. There are other lovely historical places to stay in Cape May and we will do that on our next trip.

    This is an old building that shows its age in every place. The heavy, old doors to rooms and to outdoors were difficult to open/close. There were no USB ports anywhere in our room to charges phones, etc. My wife was able to turn the key in the lock to our room.
