Pros: Beautiful hotel and stay, and super friendly staff! I have been to great hotels, but was especially impressed by this one! Everything was wonderful, from the gorgeous room, to having absolutely every need met. I especially liked the beach service where we didn't have to worry about beach chairs/umbrellas/towels, and was even more impressed by the fact that it extended into the next day after we checked out! On top of that, the hotel gave us a spot to store our luggage while we enjoyed the next day in Cape May, and the valet held on to our car so we didn't have to worry about finding parking for it in town. Everything was just made easy and pleasant, and I very much enjoyed. Will definitely stay here again!

Pros: We, my 27 year old daughter and I, had 2 days off and decided to take off to Cape May...we could not have chosen a better place. The Virginia was awesome!!! Just what we needed for our "mental health" day. The staff was remarkable and couldn't have been more accomodating. A light breakfast on the veranda was just lovely (We highly recommend the fresh-squeezed OJ!) and valet parking...well we just loved being spoiled.
Thank you for the wonderful stay, AND I've already booked a 3 day stay for the Christmas season!!!! I've been told it is not to be missed!!!
Cons: Not a thing!!!!!!

Pros: Location was great. Even though we visited in January, weather was nice enough to take a long walk. Outside porch was so tempting to just sit with a wine. Bar available to have a drink before going to dinner
Cons: Not that we 'didn't like'', things happen and due to renovations, we had no hot water in the morning. Staff is so nice and gave us the time it would be available. Just surprised it wasn't mentioned that there would be a chance it may happen. Also would've liked more of a bar menu available.

Pros: Lovely place on a lovely street. Bed and linens were lovely and comfortable, room was clean, service was excellent. Short easy walk to parking or you can use the valet service. Location is great. We were there for the fall birding festival and we did not spend any time at the beach, but it is a very short distance away, and the hotel offers beach service if you want it. Would gladly stay there again, even though we were on the third floor and there is no elevator. It's one of those special places.
