Southern Mansion

Hotel

I and my wife spent our honeymoon here. The place is gorgeous. Victorian time stylish wood house and beautiful quiet garden. Clean rooms. Good bed s and good mattress. When is a wind it makes little spooky noises since the house is old but if you dont scare ghosts it's fine. One more important thing is that they dont allow the kids and pets. So it's good for you only or couples. Highly recommended.

Love this place! The history and architecture are always worth the trip.

Wonderful visit. Cape may reminds us of mackinac island. Cape may has automobile's. Mackinac has horse and carriage and bikes only. So many beautiful historical places and haunted. The Southern Masion was magical and so well preserved in all its grandeur.

Nice room, good food, office staff is shaky.

Classic elegance with just a touch of modern amenities. The accommodations met our expectations for cleanliness and comfort, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the breakfasts each morning were amazing. Just a great experience all around for our group.

We had a great time here at the end of 2016. There was a Christmas Parade, a tour of the hotels in the area, a one man Christmas Carol show, and a great fudge kitchen store. There are many events during this season, and it's a beautiful and historic town. The mansion is beautiful, clean, cozy and the breakfast is delicious. My husband is not a breakfast eater and we made sure to get down there every morning with french toast and eggs.

Very nice place. Great staff.

Charming bed and breakfast. Lovely unique rooms with a truly out-of-this-era feel. Sophisticated, but not stuffy. High-end, but not hokey. And eloquent, but not over-the-top. The best place to stay in Cape May.

Friendly staff — clean rooms. Beautifully decorated for Christmas.

Beautiful Inn! Staff wonderful! I took a tour group and everyone loved it!

Absolutely love this place. Very clean very quiet, and the staff is very welcoming and informative. Can't wait to go back!

Convenient location, outstanding breakfast, look at the pictures on the website. It really is that good.

Loved it… roomy with good breafast.

Came here for a wedding. The venue is beautiful. However, there is only one restroom on the main floor which made the wait for the restroom extremely long.

Historic Mansion with a crazy past. Cool place to get away from work and relax, great breakfast. Staff could give better customer service.

It was in the 90's and very humid during my stay when I arrived and the air was not working. They had a portable floor unit. The girl who brought me to the room told me they have had problems on the third floor. I was room third floor. The maintence guy could not fix internal unit. The portable floor unit read E4. He couldn't get it to work finally emptied the water out of it. It started to work, but the the temp reset to 75 and the top floor was very hot. They attempted to fix 3 more times. But it would do the same. I awoke twice that night to fix it. Even downloaded the manual because the buttons were so worn you didn't know what you were pushing. Finally at 3 Am it started to work. Woke at 6 am sweating. Cold shower. Told them. Breakfast. Walk. Came back. Not fixed. Told them my best friend was arriving. Needed the room serviced. I notified them at 9:00 am. At 11:30 room not serviced. We gave them several more attempts. Even saw them putting a new portable unit it another room on the 3rd floor. They said they had to go out and buy it. So why not go back? Get one for my room? The hallway was cold and room hot. We went to dinner at Willow Creek Winery. Food great and wine. However the hotel told us it was a short walk about a mile and a half from the hotel. We walked it. It was more than a mile and a half. A 20 minute walk turned into an 1hour and 20 minutes in our dresses and flip flops. On main roads and back farm roads.

Attended a wedding here with great weather and an outdoor ceremony. Seating for reception was odd being in a long hallway with a dance floor down stairs making for a separation in guests.

I love this place, but it's losing its charm. If you walk along the edge of the grass, there are plastic tarps behind the trees. The beautiful living room in this historic mansion has a corner filled with beach chairs. Also, if you are ten minutes past checkout on a Sunday in the Winter, they will call your room, then they will call the housekeeper until they see that you are leaving.

Beautiful place to visit. If you're looking for something to do try the Bruce Tango ghost tour. It was very good.

This stay has been just excellent. The staff is attentive (yet not overbearing), breakfast is great and the rooms are amazing.

While visiting family in New Jersey my wife and I decided to go to Cape May. We were lucky enough to get a reservation at the Southern Mansion. The building and grounds are unbelievable, fantastic rooms, we stayed in room 18 which was one of the nicest rooms I have ever stayed in. All the employees are friendly and helpful. The breakfast was great. Our only regret was we were unable to stay longer. If you go make sure you book a long enough stay. We will definitely be back the next time we come up to New Jersey. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Lovely rooms and lawn is perfect for a wedding.

Just got back from Cape May, wish we never left. Fabulous room (#11) and we breakfast options were perfect. Wonderful staff and the perfect location.

Beautiful room and location, great breakfast.

My Wife and I had a wonderful stay. The town was beautiful, the Mansion was wonderful. The staff was excellent, particularly Kiera whose restaurant recommendations were perfect. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

Delicious breakfasts, gorgeous property, rooms are clean and beautiful, very comfortable King size bed, service was very friendly and attentive. Got a decent discount for booking 6 nights well in advance. Not being from Cape May, we misunderstood the website to read that the Mansion is surrounded by vineyards of Willow Creek Winery. It's actually packed in somewhat tightly between every other B&B, but still very pretty landscaping around it (same owner as willow creek). Very short drive down to the beach and restaurants (or long walk), perfect place to stay for a romantic getaway.

Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Thank you very much Andreea for all your efforts. Ideal place for o motorcycle getaway. Highly recommended.

Excellent bed and breakfast. All of the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Beautiful and spacious rooms. Excellent food and service. I have a gluten allergy and they were more than accommodating to me. My boyfriend inquired about how they would manage my allergy for the breakfasts when booking and when we had arrived there was gluten-free peanut butter cookies (and tasted delicious! ) and chocolate covered strawberries waiting in the room. The following morning they had gluten-free pancakes to offer me too. The woman he booked with remembered his name and the conversation they had and we bumped into her before starting the her shift entering the mansion. And the booking was 3 weeks prior. There is nothing to complain about The Southern Mansion. We highly recommend it for couples wanting a nice getaway.

Really great tour and definitely worth visiting.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Southern Mansion last year, and we had a wonderful time. The rooms are beautiful and the breakfast is delicious, so we booked reservations here for a second time. When we saw the weather report for our upcoming stay, I called the Mansion to ask if they could bump our reservation up to give us nicer weather for our stay. The woman I spoke to on the phone to book the room was kind; the woman I spoke to when I asked to change the date was incredibly rude. She argued with me about the weather (which is ridiculous) and she acted as though changing the dates was a huge leap. She then hung up on me, and DID NOT change the dates. When my boyfriend and I checked in we were told that our room was not ready because we were a day early. When I explained that I spoke to a rude woman who hung up on me, the desk clerk said, "Oh, you talked to the owner. It is what it is. " No apology for the inconvenience, and the woman proceeded to tell us to "Come back in an hour". I believe we lucked out the first time we stayed here, and saw the Mansion's truly terrible customer service record at our most recent visit. Overall, I paid $800 to stay a few nights in a museum run by a few crochety old maids. I will stay somewhere else next year.
