Excellent in all respects except the restaurant The Blue Pig Tavern. Maybe it was the holiday and the inexperienced wait staff, but the food was not up to its usual standards.

This is the second time I have stayed at Congress Hall. Got a good rate for a Jan. Friday night stay. Lucked out with the weather. It was cold but sunny. The staff are very friendly and helpful, especially the valet. I love the rooms with the balconies but on this trip was unable to book one. I did however have a beautiful view of the beach. Had dinner at the Blue Pig which is one of my favorite restaurants in Cape May. The "Brown Room" is a wonderful place to sit by the fire, have a drink and relax. Only down side was morning room service. My order arrived on time but it was stone cold although the coffee was great. At checkout the front desk had the room service manager come out to speak with me and she could not have been nicer. Took the price of the meal off my bill and only billed me for the coffee. Will stay again when I visit Cape May.

I have stayed at Congress Hall a few times; this last time in early January. I decided to go in January since there was no hint of snow and I got a fantastic rate on a one day sale promotion they were running. My room was somewhat small and the two chairs were not all that comfortable; however, the room was very clean and I loved the color of the room and carpeting. The bar area is very nice and I enjoyed drinking a vodka martini! The one drawback to visiting Cape May in the winter is the lack of open stores and restaurants. You have to search everything out in order to do some shopping and dining. I recommend visiting; however, I would not go back again in January/February.

Went for a getaway after holidays for some R&R. Perfect place to stay. Quiet and comfortable rooms with a lot of history behind the walls. Room was spacious and had a small balcony overlooking the ocean. You could watch the sunrise from the bed. Definitely old, but spotless, the bathroom had an original bathtub. Located in the middle of town and the Blue Pig Tavern is located right there. Had breakfast and dinner there and we were not disappointed. Lots of choices for breakfast and our server, Rebecca was awesome. I had the pot roast special for dinner and it was almost like my Mom's. This was our 4th time going at this time of year and hope to return each year.
