This was our second trip to Cape May; the first was 20 years ago with three young children. Therefore, we chose a B&B for our return trip... no children in tow. The Victorian Lace Inn caught my eye due to the advertised suites. Although the inn and rooms were clean, we found our suite, the KERRY SUITE, to be in need of updating, both in decor and seating! The living room couch, a double sofa bed, was a dorm style couch and not a comfortable seating spot; nor where the two kitchen chairs---small and rickety. Our bedroom had a comfortable bed but the overall room was small and once again there was not a comfortable place to seat and relax.
The original clawfoot tub was a drawback- difficult to get in and out of; the shower curtains surrounding the tub remain draped inside the bottom of the tub.
The air conditioning is centrally controlled and therefore, should you wish a change, you needed to contact the staff.
The breakfast was adequate but served almost as soon as you sat down. There was only one entree daily; although we were asked about any allergies upon arrival, a choice of entree would have been appreciated. Breakfast was enjoyable due to the people we met and ate with each day.
In summary, accommodations were only adequte for the price of a room post Labor Day. View Reviewer Info

I stay in Cape May regularly, and love trying new accommodations in this charming B&B-laden town. As such, the Victorian lace Inn was…ok. Other reviewers mention the O’Sullivans, but I don’t believe we met the owners. One of the caretakers, Rosalee (sp?), was absolutely lovely and gracious; the other caretaker, a young lady, seemed a bit unhappy with her career choice, and it often showed. In general, the house was fine and we got a good deal on a smaller garret room; the room, though charming, was furnished with uncomfortable wicker furniture, the kind that looks great on a porch but felt like an afterthought and reminded me of sitting on hay bales. The bed was a King, created by pushing together two twins of uneven height, a fairly substantial (and uncomfortable) oversight.
Breakfast was delicious, awkward, and forced as we sat around at 9:00 AM sharp at a formal (and only) breakfast seating. Tea was much nicer and more relaxed, with home baked goodies and lots of beverage choices.
