The Carroll Villa Hotel

Had a great experience in 2025 thus returned again this year for a lovely Spring Fling and to honor and celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. All staff are so welcoming and accommodating. Thanks for another great stay!!

We had a lovely stay at the Caroll Villa and enjoyed many delicious meals at the Mad Batter. The weather was rainy and cold but the staff were always friendly and helpful. We love the new coffee bar in the parlor set up for hotel quests.

Carroll Villa is our go to spot when staying in Cape May. It’s always clean, comfortable and charming. They are always welcoming and communication is on point. Highly recommend!

This hotel is great. Service was great and staff were very welcoming. The hotel is near the beach and everything in the historic town. The Mad Batter house is very good for breakfast. The only issue is that it does not have an elevator which is not a big deal if you are not brining a lot of things. Overall, excellent stay and love to come back next time.

My girlfriend and I booked the stay at the Carroll Villa to enjoy Cape May for my birthday weekend. The hotel was lovely, as were the staff. First in line for breakfast at the Mad Batter, one of my favorite breakfast venues. I highly recommend this hotel.

Great place to stay, we have stayed at Carroll Villa 4 times and enjoy our stay there every time. It is an old building but so much character and very clean and friendly staff. You receive a $30 voucher for breakfast each day and bottles of water in room fridge. The only thing some might have an issue with is parking, they give you a ticket to hang in car but the lot is about a 8-10 minute walk, not an problem for me & my husband as we walk a lot everyday. Will definitely return again for more visits.

Our first taste of Cape May was a good one. We arrived early and parked temporarily in the loading zone across the street. Linda checked us in, we dropped off our bags and relocated our car to the municipal lot. Our Room, No. 28 upstairs in the Annex, was accessed though a side door in the Mad Batter, the hotel's restaurant. There was a cozy bedroom which held a king bed and two side chairs, a separate living room with a TV and a storage chest, and a spacious modern bathroom with a stall shower and separate soaking tub. Plenty of room for both your toilet kits, as well as a drying rack for towels or swim suits. Ample towels were provided, we did not need housekeeping during out stay. They still left us water bottles each day, and there were more in the mini-fridge. The room was clean. The king bed was quite comfortable, and we had a partial view of the ocean down Jackson Street. HVAC was controlled though heat pumps - they can be finicky and Linda helped us with those. The separate living room was a great place to store our luggage, watch TV while my wife slept, get changed, etc. If I came back, I would stay in this unit again. The hotel provides a $30 voucher per day credit for breakfast or lunch at the Mad Batter. This will just about cover coffee and a breakfast item for two, exclusive of tax and tip, if you do not indulge. You'll probably spend a bit more, whether on the fresh squeezed orange juice, a Bloody Mary, or crab in your omelette. I enjoyed the corned beef hash and an order of pancakes - was less pleased with the omelettes which are more American diner style than French. Portions are generous. Service from Jose and Angel was great. You also have a 30% discount on dinner at the Mad Batter or 15% off at the Cricket Club, the hotel's other property around the corner. We enjoyed a dinner at the Cricket Club to take advantage of the discount. You should understand the parking situation before you book. The hotel provides a permit tag to allow you to use the municipal lot at 608 Bank Street, about three blocks from the hotel on foot- cutting through the Washington Street shopping area. This was not inconvenient for us, and better than paying for daily parking, but if the weather isn't great, or you have challenges, it could become an issue. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend this property.

We stay at the Carroll Village Hotel every year for our Anniversary. Loved staying here for many reasons. Location to the beach and shops! Nightly entertainment at the bar area in the hotel. $30 voucher for breakfast served at the restaurant in the hotel called the Mad Batter! The food is amazing! This is the first year that we actually never went to another restaurant for dinner. Always ate at the Mad Batter. Not only were the breakfasts delicious, but the dinner options offered the best food ever!!!! Food options include appetizers, pizza, burgers, salads, and many other dinner entrees. Absolutely the best! Would highly recommend!

Great place! Beautiful old Victorian place, so much atmosphere. We love it and always come back!

This was our 4th stay at Carroll Villa, and it was another great time! We enjoy the Villa and the amenities along with the terrific perks we get by booking direct. The weather was fine and we enjoyed walking in the town and did some serious shopping!
