The Southern Mansion is billed as the largest and most elaborate mansion in Cape May, which is probably true - just not THE best. Our 2 days there were pleasant but hardly worth $360 a night (king premier room), in my estimation. (Rates in May were $240-$395.) The room (#6) was large and well appointed in general; lighting for reading... More

We've stayed at the Southern Mansion Twice before and we were very happy with it. That's whiy we came back to celebrate our 30th Anniversary and Mother's day. We stayed Mother's Day weekend and paid a premium to do so. We got to our room and there was only one robe. Two of us were staying. I asked for another... More

My fiance took me here for a surprise, romantic birthday weekend. It was perfect, beautiful inside & out, very, loved the eccentric decor inside. We had never been to Cape May before and found the hotels location very convenient to the shops & restaurants, all walk-able. The beach was walkable too, but it would be a bit far if it... More

I've been going to Cape May for the last decade. I've stayed in numerous B&Bs around the shore (including my favorite spot, which is irrelevant here) - but I was really excited to try the famous Southern Mansion. Although I'm a very picky traveler and enjoy luxury inns and boutiques, I know when to temper my expectations and review accordingly.... More

Been to the Southern Mansion a couple times, & wonderful each time. They have afternoon tea for everyone staying there, & such a great breakfast. Rooms are Victorian & spacious!

This was our first visit to Cape May and choosing The Southern Mansion for accommodations was a perfect way to experience this charming Victorian town. We booked Room 24 - a large king room on the second floor - be aware you can only access this room by going outdoors and using spiral staircases (no problem for us, but may... More

We chose the Southern Mansion in Cape May for our wedding venue. This is an absolutely gorgeous B&B in historical Cape May NJ. The rooms are simply beautiful, each one decorated in period Victorian motif. We can't say enough about our experience at the mansion. The staff is excellent. Our wedding guests were amazed!

Beautiful old mansion with very spacious rooms. Very good breakfast and a very accommodating staff. Location was very good and within biking distance of shopping, beaches and tourist sites. It is not within easy walking distance of the beach which could be an issue if you went in the summer but as we were there in the fall that was... More
