    Sitting porch
    Darcy V.

    For the most part the staff & owners did a lot to make us feel comfortable. We had never stayed in a B& B so we didn't have anything to compare to. However I'll lay out the pros & cons of our stay in December Pros: Breakfast at 9am allowed us to meet others & talk about things to do Afternoon tea was nice to be able to grab a few snacks & hang out on the closed in porch or dining rooms. Pool is heated & open 24 hours a day. Place is decorated very ornate. It was pretty inside. Staff friendly & helpful. We felt comfortable walking around house. Cons: It needs a little upkeep & updating From outside it lacked beauty we were expecting & maybe a nice paint job with contrasting colors would be fun like the house next door We arrived for Breakfast at 9am & it was lukewarm. I think it would have been easier to have chafing dishes to choose the food from so less waste. For example My pancakes where too cold to eat by time I finished eggs. Our room #9 was drafty, smelled like chlorine & needed handrails for stairs to jacuzzi which was slippery to get out of. The bigger question is would we stay again? Maybe we will try the newer structure behind the main house? Or we might just try another place for comparison. By the way my hubby gave the place a rating of 4.

    Breakfast

    Pros: Our room was located not in a historical mansion, but in a new additional building. We found out that we dodged a bullet, because main building did not have AC(in May), so it can get pretty hot. We, on the other hand, had a great working AC. We also had a tiny fireplace that we loved. TV in the room was good and had cable tv as well as DVD or blue ray player(we didn't use it). Internet was working great. Bathroom had a giant double shower and two person jacuzzi tub that we used and loved it. The room also had a mini fridge that was useful and a ceiling fan as well. Free parking was great addition in this busy beach town and an option to have a bike for free is quite convenient. Cons: The staff is stiff and unfriendly. Don't expect them to smile at any point of your visit. It seems like they don't enjoy their job and get annoyed pretty easily. As much as we loved our jacuzzi, it lacked a handle bar, so be very careful about getting out. It had many signs about not using oils, bubble bath, various fine amounts for not complying with their rules YET no sign about slippery surface and zero handle bars. They have ice dispenser on a first floor, yet ZERO liners for buckets and we all know ice buckets are top 3 germ carriers in hotel industry. Ice bucket looked dirty as well. Pool needs deep clean AND complete water change. Sides were looking like they growing barnacles! They don't have a lifeguard, it means they don't regulate chlorine levels or do regular cleaning, which shows and it's not smart way to cut corners. Our room had a dirty carpet. Weird choice for a beach hotel. The mansion has so much potential, but cutting corners is not a way to go. We payed almost $800 for two night stay and expected superb service. Starting with soaps- unhealthy ingredients and hair products with added perfume=chemicals. No clean towels provided, unless you go and ask, but it's 50/50 if you find someone working. They are big on "we work hard so leave a tip for a cleaning staff". Seems like a nonsense, when you have to go and call and get towels yourself. So maybe hotel staff can tip me, huh. Brunch was worse that at Hyatt hotel in Dewey- tasteless eggs, sugar soaked French toast, expired, brown pineapple, two mini sausages that tasted like cardboard, orange juice from concentrate and burned coffee. Everything is served in paper plates, cups, plastic silverware. What a waste! Seems like Covid is still excuse to serve everything in reusable tableware, yet not one of the staff was wearing a mask, there are no stations to get any antibacterial liquid and no gloves on servers. I had to go and ask for ketchup to add some life to my underseasoned scrambled eggs, only to run into a very unhappy lady who felt annoyed, but pleaded with me and gave me one tiny Heinz ketchup square. Thanks a lot. Afternoon tea is pathetic thing and should not be mentioned- they have the same burned coffee, hot water, soda cans, tiny plastic containers with grapes and tiny sliver of cake from Walmart or CVS that lasts 100 years and never goes bad. Ew. So yeah. Not gross like you wanna leave the same night, but not amazing like you wanna return. Simply mediocre, overpriced building with some perks (like bikes) and some difficulties(like not getting skin disease from the pool). We will not be back.

    I stayed here last week and I will never stay here again . We stayed in room 9 in the original part of the house . The room smelled musty and of mildew as soon as we went in . They had a dehumidifier in the room turned on continuously and no ac in the room or window ac . First night I stayed there temperature went up to 78on the thermostat. I was sweating all night and couldn't breathe well . I complained the following morning to the girl on duty and she gave me a fan for the room . The room is in desperate need of Renovation . Peeling wallpaper , no handrail for jacuzzi tub which I slipped into the first night , dusty broken furniture and heating vents , dusty curtains hanging over bed , blood stained towel in bathroom . No antibacterial soap anywhere. Breakfast was terrible . Coffee burnt every morning . Bathroom floor was sticky , shower stall had sand or grit in it . Only nice thing was the indoor pool which we used at night . Good temperature but made our skin very itchy . I don't recommend anyone staying in this particular room at all . Stay in the newer suites if you must stay here at all . Next time I will stay at congress on the beach . Also staff is not friendly . They truly seem not to care for upkeep of this facility . No one was ever around during the afternoon to ask any questions to.

    Very nice stay.... We had room 4 a flight up with a few more steps not too bad for lugging luggage. The bed was comfy and the bathroom modern. I didn't detect any noise from other guests so that was a plus. Conviently located with a CVS within easy walking distance and shops in the immediate area to explore. We would awake to the aromas of bacon and muffins in the morning...which seemed off for such a large place until I realized a fan in a third floor window in the stairwell was set to exhaust and pulling the yumminess from the kitchen. Flowers and cheese plate (and maybe other goodies) can be awaiting your arrival. My only complain is the fact the batteries were dead in the remote and we figured it out too late to bother anyone. But....its a bnb who needs TV

    *550th Review* Choosing a rating for this place was tough... Want to gain the experience of staying in an 1800s mansion for bed and breakfast? Then look no further than this place. This is located only minutes away from downtown and the main beach by foot (2-3 miles away from Sunset Beach). We were checked in by the friendly owner. After that, our 2-night experience began. All of the public areas were on the 1st floor. All of the other floors consisted of guest rooms. The nice front porch contained comfy chairs & mini tables for those who wanted to relax & socialize. 3 dining rooms were available for breakfast and snack times. The lobby area also had some comfy chairs & mini tables for those who wanted to relax & socialize. The living room contained a TV and board games for those who wanted to play. The kitchen was open 24/7 for those who needed water and lemonade. But the kitchen is closed during breakfast and snack times due to the cooking and preparations. The indoor pool area and outdoor back porch is in the rear. A small and tight parking lot is on the side of the building. Our room was clean. It contained a double bed and a single one. Additional drawers were available for storage, along with a closet. An A/C was operational by the window, with extra fans available. A flat-screen TV broadcasted DirectTV channels. We slept flawlessly on the 2nd night. Our sink was outside the bathroom. Inside the bathroom was the toilet and shower. Numerous mini shampoo bottles and cheap & easy to break soap bars were wrapped and ready to be utilized. There were two shower heads available. Breakfast is served at 9AM each morning, and the servings vary per day. However, everyone starts with fresh pineapple, orange juice, and either coffee, tea, and/or hot cocoa (mixed by yourself). One morning, we had corn muffins, waffles, egg quiche, and sausages. Everything tasted fine, but felt that the starch items were from a mixture. The sausages, however, were excellent and had NO fillers. The next morning we had pancakes, bacon, and everything else that was the same from the previous day. Pancakes were fine, but also felt that it was from a mixture. The bacon was superior as it had NO fat or fillers. Syrup and butter was also available daily. Snack time was at 3PM each day, and servings varied daily. One day, they had a Betty Crocker yellow cake with choco frosting, watermelon slices, and veggie sticks. Overall, that was okay. The next day, they had pound cake, pepperoni, cheese, & crackers. As a fan of salty snacks, I consumed a lot of the delicious pepperoni & crackers with some cheese. Yum!! Lemonade and tea was available during those times. I've always wanted to bike around in a nice shore town. This place granted my wish by providing FREE cruiser bikes to utilize for their guests. When functioning properly, I was able to bike around certain parts of Cape May while burning off the calories. You also get a lock with a code so you can park & lock your bike and walk wherever you like. That was convenient. In the nighttime, we relaxed in the 24/7 indoor heated pool area. This may be the only B&B that has an indoor pool facility, thus making this place quite unique. The area itself was quite warm from the heat, and the pool temperature was 85 degrees. The pool itself was comfortable to swim and relax in. WIFI was hit or miss. Now for the negativity... The 1st night was a bit noisy for 2 hours, and we didn't know why (-1). Halfway back to the B&B from Sunset Beach, the chain on my bike broke off suddenly, and couldn't be reconnected. I didn't mind walking 1 mile, but it added more travel time going back. It always happens at the least you expect it. (-0.5). :( Apparently they don't serve milk during breakfast, which was very weird. When I asked for milk on the 2nd day for my hot cocoa, they ran out. One employee even joked about running out of this. They had some for that on the 1st day, though. I guess to them, milk isn't a good part of a complete breakfast (-0.5). Considering the pros and cons, I'd say this was a decent experience. If you don't mind the cons or breakfast items coming from mixtures, then you'll probably enjoy staying there. When staying here, be open minded about socializing with others. If someone wants to have a nice conversation with you here, then roll with it. Enjoy your stay, and don't be anti-social!

    Is this supposed to look "shabby chic", it just looks neglected.

    This is our 4th time staying at The Wilbraham Mansion. It will likely be our last. We stayed Friday and Saturday nights. The staff was nice enough, but we were not pleased with the room. The bubble feature for the bottom of the jacuzzi didn't even work, neither did the "self clean". The one drawer on the armoire had no drawer pulls. A drawer on the small dresser/end table had one drawer pull hanging off. The sink leaked from the bottom of the faucet and the sink base was cracked and peeling. Ironically, they are building 4 new rooms on the first floor of the back building (where we stayed). I realize that it's "off season" but the place was packed on Saturday night and I expected more from such a historic place in Cape May.

    Our king sized bed. Super comfy. The not impressed with the comforter

    Very pricey but so worth it. My bf and I came here to celebrate an anniversary. We booked a suite because those had ensuite jacuzzi. The room was spacious and the bathroom the size of a small room. It was gorgeous and exactly what we needed, to relax. They have a nice indoor pool that we also relaxed in. They have bike racks and cool bikes to use cuz gorgeous Cape May is a very bikable town. The breakfast was hosted in gorgeous setting but honestly was okay. Decent enough for complimentary, the pancakes the first morning were meh but the French toast this morning was really good. The room was clean and cool, we could control the thermostat. There was a book that listed various things to do. There was an afternoon tea service with pastries and tea. Definitely recommend coming here for a romantic getaway. Oh parking in the parking lot is tight, but it seems that cape may has no street parking laws as my car was legit in front of the main entrance all weekend.

    Front of B&B

    An amazing place to stay, the sweets building is amazing and all the rooms have 2 persons jacuzzi tubs and 2 person showers. They also have a heated indoor pool open 24 hours a day. An amazing staff and great food.

I've stayed at their Diamond Beach location, but this was my first time here. Let me mention the most enjoyable employees first. Chet was at the Front Desk when I checked out. He was by far the most friendly person I interacted with at the front desk. Some of the females were a bit...... unfriendly. If you chose to work in a customer service position it's probably best to have a sunny disposition. I think Cape May needs to address that. Tarik/Tajik? He was the young men who helped EVERYBODY get their chairs and umbrellas to the beach. He was WORKING! Yet, he always remained pleasant. And lastly, the gentleman driving the shuttle was very pleasant. He picked us up/dropped us off about 4 times. He was also servicing the Mahalo (and Icona resort) so he had his work cut out for him! We REALLY appreciated him as it was pouring one night and he came to pick us up and bring us back to the hotel. That amenity is CLUTCH! Overall, it's a nice hotel. Clean, a beautiful small bathroom, a cute little kitchen area, a small pool, and parking. Somebody mentioned the room was small, but to me it was a decent size. The balcony however, now THAT was small. Just enough room for the 2 of us to sit out there side by side and chill. I did see larger balconies out by the pool (facing the beach) so I guess you get what you pay for (larger room perhaps; suite). The AC however, is loud. It's not a window unit, but one of those wall units. I'm glad I brought my earplugs, otherwise I probably wouldn't have slept. And speaking of sleep, the bed is not what I am used to when I visit a hotel; especially a higher end boutique hotel. It was uncomfortable to me. My partner however, had no problem sleeping and did not feel it was uncomfortable. So.... roll the dice. The pool is tiny. Or shall I say, smaller than the size you will expect it to be. But it works. I chilled in the pool for 3 days. It's a good spot to people watch and break from the sand of the beach. And once we parked, we didn't have to move the car. Cape May is very pedestrian friendly. We walked and rode bikes every where we went. I love it. It was a great getaway. Check it out.

Consistently clean and neat. Everywhere. Just exceptionally well kept up. Slightly outside of 'downtown', but still walkable.... and far less $$$ with far less hustle and bustle. IMO, a good trade off. Very pleased with this choice. We called for an extra blanket and it was delivered in under 5 minutes. Oh, a parking space, beach chairs and towels come with the room, too! Rocking chairs out front, tables and chairs out back let you enjoy some outdoor space - and the pool of course! Very nicely (and thoughtfully) laid out! Note: they have several room types. We chose #4 - king bed, family suite, no pets. But some have full kitchens, some allow pets, various bed sizes, etc. Certainly a room style for everyone. 'House Rules' are appropriate, enforced, and enhance your stay. We'll be back....

    The best stay I've ever had in Cape May!! The rooms are clean and updated, with comfortable beds…read moreand great showers. They have great room amenities (like pour-over coffee and great bathroom products), and a really cute rooftop. The real stars here are the staff though- they're locals with tons of knowledge and recommendations for things to see/do in the area. They treat you like an old friend and are so welcoming- really can't recommend this place enough! Oh, and they're dog friendly which is super nice!

    We are repeat boarding house guests and discovered this gem a few years back. The rooms are very…read moreclean- don't be discouraged by the dog friendly vibe if you're a clean freak like me! (No hate to pups- just want to highlight the cleanliness). The lobby staff is so friendly. There's coffee available in the morning around 9:15, and beer/wine available around 4p. Nice added perks! The roof deck is a fun feature as well, and the bikes (first come first serve reservation system). Minor drawbacks: there's no true outside shower, but there's a hose for your feet in the ice machine closet. There are rinsing stations by the beach too, but not near the entrance where you can rent your complimentary chairs/ umbrellas on queen street. Also, parking is tight and some guests are not conscientious of the parking situation. During our stay, there were multiple cars taking up two spaces in the very small lot. Overall, great spot!
