Great place. Friendly staff. Clean and comfortable. Very convenient to have the restaurant right below. I ended up eating there each day for lunch and dinner because they offered a coupon and discount. Good deal for March. Will definitely be back when next promo is offered!

The room was spacious and clean. The hotel was quiet. We had a wonderful time. The breakfast at the Mad Batter was delicious and we enjoyed an after dinner drink at the bar where we were able to listen to live music. The staff was extremely friendly.

I have stayed here many times and this B&B never disappoints. Great service, wonderfully appointed rooms and the added bonus of having The Mad Batter Restaurant adjacent to the hotel. I would highly recommend this place to anyone planning a visit to Cape May. You won’t be disappointed.

The Caroll Villa is our favorite place to stay in Cape May. The proprietors are wonderful, staff is great, and you can’t beat the location or accommodations! The Mad Batter is a great restaurant and part of the inn. Don’t miss a chance to visit and stay!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay in Room #19 at the Inn, and an amazing breakfast at the Inn's attached restaurant, the Mad Batter. Our room was spotlessly clean and spacious with a King bed. All of our bedding was soft and plush. The bathroom shower was huge, and the floor was heated! The ceiling fan in our room was much appreciated, as well. The location can't be beat-- a quick walk to the beach, tons of shops, and restaurants. We can't wait to return.

Dear Climber537921, Thanks so much for the great review of our hotel & restaurant! Room 19 does have a nice layout and nothing beats those heated bathroom floors, especially during the chilly shoulder season. So glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Looking forward to seeing you again soon! The Carroll Villa Staff

Great room accommodations for the age of the property well maintained Brand new bathroom. The only problem we had is there is no one offering to help you with your bags- up to the third floor with narrow stair way and slight slanted floors- again the age of the building.

Dear Z8599FJmariac, Thanks for the great review of our hotel & restaurant! We're glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We are a small boutique hotel with a small staff, so we don't employ someone specifically to handle luggage. However, we can find someone to assist with luggage if help is needed. If you decide to stay with us again, just let us know at the front desk & we'll be happy to find you some assistance, if we can't help you ourselves. Looking forward to seeing you again soon! The Carroll Villa Staff

This place was exactly what we were looking for in a quick romantic little getaway. It was very comfortable and clean. Service was excellent. The Mad Batter Restaurant downstairs was amazing. Everyone was pleasant and wait staff was top notch. You get a $30 voucher for breakfast each morning and a 30% off coupon for dinner. Great location. I’m definitely staying there again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Carroll Villa Hotel & Mad Batter Restaurant. The staff, food & room were all excellent. The location was great. Close to the beach & shops. Our only regret was the visit wasn't longer. Can't wait to visit again!

We have been celebrating our wedding anniversary at the Carroll Villa Hotel for several years, and we just had another wonderful experience. The rooms are clean and well-appointed (we always ask for a room with an ocean view!)…the included breakfast is the best in Cape May…and there is no better experience than having dinner in their restaurant! We previously worked in the town’s tourism industry and have stayed at most of its hotels and B&Bs, and the Carroll Villa is our favorite.
