We were "sold" from the minute we walked in for information. Doug greeted us, offered us "treats", gave us a full tour of the main building. . .we didn't have to look any further we booked our room right then and there. We were not disappointed during our stay, the food at both breakfast and tea was both delicious and plentiful. A wonderful selection of food to satisfy everyone's taste and appetite. The beds were comfortable and the comfort items in the room beyond expectation. I so enjoyed the herbal bath grains and bayberry soap, I bought some to take home. Everyone on staff was warm, welcoming and helpful. The location is perfect just two blocks from the beach and two blocks from all the shops and eateries on the Washington Street Mall. If you aren't familiar with Cape May, they will recommend restaurants, make reservations if you like and since our stay was early in the season, they even called a favorite eatery to make sure it was open before we drove there. This visit was for some "girls time" with my Mom and we will probably be back and I am hoping to celebrate our wedding anniversary there next January.

4.6 out of 5The Queen Victoria is a magical place to stay at during the Christmas Holidays!
December 14, 2009
My husband and I stayed at The Queen Victoria for a couple of days (Windsor Room). The B&B was beautifully decorated for the Holidays. If you love Christmas and everything that goes with it, a trip to Cape May and a stay at this B&B is a must! The hospitality received from Doug, Anna Marie, and the entire staff goes above and beyond: turndown service with chocolates, afternoon tea with cookies, very friendly and helpful, eager to please, etc. We came back from breakfast each morning to have the bed made and the room taken care of. We've never had that done at any other B&B. We purchased a couple of the cookbooks, which is beautifully done. We can't wait to return.
4.4 out of 5Wonderful B&B
October 24, 2009
I took my husband away for his 60th birthday. Wonderful B&B excellent location. King Edward Suite very nice, private balcony to enjoy. Owners Doug & Anna Marie great! All employees friendly and pleasant! Delicious breakfast & afternoon tea and snacks. Complimentary bicycles and drinks--shops and great restaurants all within walking distance. We usually try different B&B's but The Queen Victoria was very special & we've already made reservations for next October to visit again. We both highly recommend staying here while in Cape May!!

September 19, 2009
We stayed at the Queen Victoria this past week; it was our 12th visit to Cape May having stayed at 10 other bed and breakfasts and 2 times at a hotel. Overall, the Queen Victoria stay was a positive experience. The Prince Alfred room, however, was a surprising disappointment. The online picture shows a bright, cheery, middle-sized room with 2 windows, no tv and dvd player on the bureau and even light coming from the doorway. That was apparently flood lights for the picture. Our disappointment was obvious as we walked into a drab little room having a black print bed cover, only one window, and a cluttered bureau. Yes, we could have had the tv and dvd player removed. Worse than that was the window with the air conditioner in it that was boarded up from floor to ceiling. The window treatments were there, but no window. We enjoyed the balcony, reached from going out through the one window which reached the floor, and when raised, we could bend over and walk through it. We were assured that it has not fallen on anyone yet! Having made our reservations last January, we'd received the much enjoyed newsletters and were looking forward to conversations with the owners. We spoke to and saw Anna Marie once and spoke to Doug once as he was either busy with other guests or unavailable when we asked to speak with him. The owners certainly have a right to time for themselves; it was too bad that they needed it when we were there! They have an excellent, friendly staff. Their use of a food service is understandable, however, our personal choice would be Sysco!
Innkeeper Response
I'm sorry to hear that the Prince Alfred room was such a disappointment to these guests. Their apparent feeling that we misrepresented the room in our photos could not be further from the truth, however. First of all, one of the windows (actually an antique pocket window that provides access to the balcony) was temporarily fitted with a frame and air-conditioner because we were experiencing an air-conditioning problem in our building and their room was particularly affected by it due to the tremendous amount of sunlight that hits the room, particularly through that window. I'm guessing that these folks would have been complaining even more vigorously had they not had sufficient A/C during their stay. Drab little room? Prince Alfred is not our largest room, but it certainly isn't drab. It is beautifully covered in hand crafted "Bradbury & Bradbury" wallpaper, including a dado and frieze that looks just as stunning in person as it does in the pictures. Most guests do want a TV in their room, but we are always happy to pull it if it is requested. I really don't know how to respond to the "Sysco!" comment. I'm not sure why a guest would care what company we purchase our food from, unless they work for Sysco. Finally, I regret that these folks didn't get the personal attention from my wife and me that they were hoping for. We were most certainly at the inn every day they stayed with us, personally hosting breakfast every morning and afternoon tea most days. I'm guessing that they chose to eat breakfast in our "intimate" dining room, where we purposely allow guests more privacy with bistro tables than the more social "big" table dining room where I was hosting breakfast every morning.4.4 out of 5One of the nicest I've been to.

This is a great inn . The buildings are beautiful, the staff friendly and the location is perfect. We loved the afternoon tea and the ambiance of the main rooms as well as guest rooms was really nice.
