My wife and I stayed at Southern Mansion in June. The B&B itself is beautiful. The rooms are very nice but some could use a little updating. The location is OK but I would prefer to stay closer to the beach and main strip next time. It is right by alot of great shops though. The breakfast was very good... More

I have spent a lot of time in Cape May including living there in 1984-85. It is an absolutely beautiful town that is full of Inns, B&B's and very good restaurants. Years ago, the now Southern Mansion, was a hugh dilapidated unoccupied ediface. You could not help but notice it as you made your way into the town of Cape... More

Purchased a package on Living Social, and like a previous reviewer, found the Southern Mansion a delight. Room was wonderful, and enormous (#8 on third floor -- long walk up, but worth it!). We've been to Cape May several times, and it really is walkable to a lot of things -- and even with the Nor'easter that dampened our outdoor... More

I purchased this 2 day package on Living Social and it was just perfect! The room was gorgeous, with chocolate covered strawberries, cookies and a welcome gift awaiting us. Walking distance to everything, and I mean everything, the beach, the restaurants, the attractions, etc.... Would go again at full price! More

We have been going to The Southern Mansion since the 90s. I love this place but was disappointed that the afternoon tea with so many yummy snacks is no longer offered. You still get beverages but no lavish foods as we had in the past. You still get the breakfast as well. The place is still so immaculate and gorgeous... More

The first time we came to Cape May I saw the Southern Mansion while taking a walk. I thought it was breathtaking and Googled it when I got home. My husband and I have been coming to Cape May for over 13 years and continue to book our reservations at the Southern Mansion. The Mansion is so beautifully decorated and... More

Stayed 2 evenings (Friday & Saturday) in August. Family beach time for me and my two children, ages 10 &11. Easy to find location on Washington, just a few blocks from the walking mall complete with dining, pubs, ice cream, quaint shops, and large gazebo with a free evening concert. About six blocks from the beach, but easily walkable--we found... More

How do I begin...there are numerous references to the "lady" at the front desk and her attitude on Trip Advisor. Well, they are right. She is so unpleasant that I was almost laughing. We were given room number 7 on the third floor. There was a weird smell to the room and the shower head was terrible. I have very... More

All we want in this Customer Service business is to make our guests happy. Most of the time we do a good job at it but, sometimes no matter what we do the guest is not happy. In this case a surge in the electrical service from a mini thunderstorm had thrown the AC in the room off line .... More

We chose the Southern Mansion for our wedding. We made a wedding weekend down in Cape May, and our close family and ourselves stayed at the Southern Mansion. The rooms were immaculate and so clean. The breakfast was delicious. Coffee, tea, iced tea, and lemonade are available through out the day. The iced tea was really good too! The grounds... More
