There is no coffee in the room. Our room had a big hump in the floor. I know it is old. The fridge was hidden and there was no microwaves in the rooms. The TV was not a smart TV. The staff was extremely helpful and professional.

$1700 for two nights, had no meals at the hotel. Our room gave you a choice: be hot and clammy or cold and clammy. There was a swail in the floor you needed to traverse to get to the bathroom. The desk staff were professionally cool unlike prior visits where they were friendly and even remembered you the next day. We've decided it was our last visit, no value for the dollar! There are other locations in Cape May.

From the time of Check-in to checkout everything was perfect. The location of the room by the elevator, cocktails in the Brown Room and breakfast at the Blue Pig, exceeded our expectations. Looking forward to our next stay in the near future! Theresa Sanginiti

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Congress Hall. The hotel was impeccably clean, the staff was exceptionally warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere was truly unforgettable—rich with historic charm and character that made the entire experience feel special. The location is unbeatable, with easy access to the beach and all that Cape May has to offer. A truly beautiful property that we would highly recommend and look forward to visiting again!

Our early May stay was in the off-season, so some understandable repair and cleanup operations were in progress. The staff were generally good, friendly and attentive. The restaurant staff are professional and it (The Blue Pig) is very good in quality. There has no doubt been a staff turnover and some of the newer staff members are still in the training process. It’s a great location with a beautiful view and worth giving a look.
