“Perfect spot”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011

We visited Cape May for the first time and stayed at The Victorian. It was great. Clean, perfect location--close to the Washington Mall and the beach--very friendly & helpful staff. Just what we needed. We would love to go back and would stay in this hotel again. I would only add that you should keep in mind some rooms only offer double beds--we knew that going in so we were prepared but just keep that in mind if you are used to sleeping in a bigger bed.

Room Tip: We were on the ground floor and liked that. I'm not sure there was an elevator so I think you wo...

We are thrilled you found the Victorian to be the right fit for your visit. Our housekeeping staff takes a lot of pride in the work they do and I have passed your compliments on to them. Although you didn't need the elevator this time. We do have one in the breezeway. And on your next visit we will gladly accommodate you with a King size bed with or without a kitchenette.

Thanks again and we look forward to your next visit.

Stayed with the Victorian Motel last weekend. This place was awesome! The best location, the room was much bigger than expected, the service was so friendly we felt like old friends. I could go on and on......there are hundreds of places to stay in Cape May, but not for us! A lifelong customer!!!

“My Favorite place to stay in Cape May!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011

people found this review helpful

Was at this Motel last weekend and it was my 2nd visit. I love this place. Very super clean and decorated so nicely. Nice staff and good parking. The Vic Motel is in walking distance from Uncle Bill's Pancake house and George's (Greek restaurant) You can even see the ocean in the near distance...wow. It is right beside the Washington Street Mall which is so convenient. I have stayed at about 5 other places and this Motel by far gets our vote! I took my mom and a friend as well as my daughter (my daughter loves this place too) and they all love it. Looking forward in going back very soon. I can't seem to stay away. Thank you Victorian Motel!!! P.S. A special hello to Joy, Grace, Tabitha and John. :-)

Room Tip: can't imagine any rooms that aren't good!

“Victorian Motel - Handled Irene well!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011

person found this review helpful

I stayed at the Victorian Motel for about 10 days in August, just a day short of what I had booked due to Hurricane Irene. Cape May County was under a mandatory evacuation and we were informed two days before we left that we had to be out the next morning. The owners were kind enough to offer a refund (versus credit) for the remainder of our stay.

The hotel is located at the end of the Washington st. mall, where all the entertainment is, for the most part, in CM. It's also across the street from Congress Hall, 3 blocks from the beach, and about 5 blocks from the supermarket. My favorite part about the hotel was the little deck that they have on the second story - great place to read a book and people watch at the mall.

It's probably the best value for the money, especially if you're looking for a place with a kitchen. We'll definitely be back next summer!
