This charming old Victorian is a great stay for a night or two. The Congress Hall amenities as well as the amazing front desk staff (Cassandra) and coffee shop in the lobby make up for the lack of space and usual motel amenities (mini fridge, microwave, full bathtub). The ocean view is hauntingly beautiful. An amazing slice of history in downtown Cape May, on the Washington Mall right by the beach.
