The Carroll Villa Hotel

We have stayed at the Carroll Villa numerous times and thoroughly enjoy the family owned establishment. Booking a room was easy and there was excellent communication via email and text reminding us of our reservation and asking if they could be of any help before and during our stay. The room and bathroom were clean and well appointed. The location was ideal and beach, shopping and restaurants were all within walking distance. The restaurant and $30 breakfast voucher added to our enjoyment and the service was great. Highly recommend staying at the Carroll Villa and we will be back!

Always a wonderful stay at Carroll Villa. Hotel is conveniently located near the beach and Washington Street shopping. The Mad Batter restaurant is located on site as is a bar with live music. Food is excellent and the bar has a nice selection of IPA'S and wines. Everyone my wife and I came in contact with were very friendly as usual. We've stayed in other hotels in Cape May through the years. Carroll Villa is the one we come back to.
Thanks,

Jim and Susan Fryer

Stayed in room 25 was small but adequate for me was clean.Staff was very nice and accommodating I had sciatica when I got there so I couldn’t walk around Capemay as planned but it was still a peaceful trip and my relatives came and ate with me at The MadBatter the food was awesome never disappointed and large quantity of food

I had a wonderful weekend stay at the Caroll Villa. The room was clean, comfortable and on point. The restaurant, the Mad Batter, as always was excellent. As a guest there is always a discount at the restaurant so definitely take advantage.

I couldn't recommend this place more. Centrally located between the mall and the beach, it is a winner!

Love The Carroll Villa Hotel in Cape May! From the moment you check in until check out they treat you wonderfully. The coupon for breakfast is great. Best place for breakfast in town. The Blue bar is also great for entertainment every night. We will be back!

First, they were very accommodating when I needed to change my reservation. The staff is the best, both at the hotel and at The Mad Batter. Then, they were kind enough to give us credit towards a future stay when we needed to leave early due to an approaching blizzard. We look forward to our next visit!

This is such a beautiful hotel and is great for couples! The hotel has the original Victorian style feel throughout it while also having a refreshed bedroom look with updated furniture and bath appliances. The staff is very friendly and was there to help us with anything we needed. We especially appreciated the attention to detail the cleaning staff took to making sure our room was as perfect as possible. Look at the swans! The Mad Batter Restaurant is also a great place to get any meal you please. We went for dinner and breakfast and were very happy with our experience there. We also really appreciated the $30 voucher the hotel provided for breakfast. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will definitely come stay to stay at the Carroll Villa Inn if we’re back in the Cape May area!

Our first time staying here. We booked in January while having breakfast at their Mad Batter restaurant. Check in was very easy. The room was just as pictured. Very comfortable bed. We had a great turkey sandwich at the bar. Met some really nice people. We received a voucher for breakfast. Service and food were excellent. Love how close it is to the restaurants and shopping in town. This might be our spot to visit Cape May more often.

We had a great experience at Carroll's. The people, great. The location, great. The room, great. The breakfast, great. Cape May, great.
I could go on but you get the idea.

This was our first time at Carroll Villa Hotel. The rooms were so nice, the food at the Mad Batter was excellent! The customers and employees at the bar were so friendly and welcoming. We were so close to the Washington Mall and other great sites. The history, charm, location, food, and staff make the Carroll Villa Hotel an all time favorite, and we can't wait to come back. See you soon, and thank you for your impeccable hospitality.

My husband and I visited Cape May to unwind from the holidays. The staff made us feel most welcomed, and the rest is simply a great testament to the hotel and restaurant management, the bar staff, all waiters, waitresses and the seashore feeling that comes while walking the streets of Cape May. This was our first time staying at CV and it won't be the last. We loved it! Our room was perfect. Free parking, effective 1/1 was a great plus. Thank you to every single person who made our couple days at the hotel, a wonderful and relaxing experience. Jessica xo

The hotel is a beautiful old house and our meals at the restaurant were very good. Our room was pretty but very small (my fault for not thinking about sq footage) and was fine for a one night stay. The only downside to a historic building is the heating unit in the room did not warm the bathroom. This would have been ok, but we only had lukewarm water for showers.

great location, very walkable to beach and shops, clean, rooms were adequate size.
Enjoyed our breakfast at the mad batter. Good portions, nice menu, food was good,
service very good, friendly.

Beautiful place. Great reception service. Ate dinner there with discount. So good. Would definitely recommend and ho back.

We stayed at the Caroll years ago and chose it as a perfect location for visiting Cape May village for the Christmas holiday season. The staff at the hotel as well as the Mad Batter restaurant we attentive and friendly. Check in was smooth (I booked directly with the hotel rather than 3rd party, easy). We enjoyed our short stay and would recommend it to anyone interested in the relaxed beach town environment and close to the beach as well as the various businesses in the village.

The hotel was very festive, decorated for the holidays. The staff was pleasant and courteous. The Mad Batter Restaurant was very convenient and food was delicious. There was good entertainment in the bar. This location is wonderful and it was an easy walk to most of the town's highlights.

We had an outstanding stay. The room was great as was the staff. The restaurant and the service was not only convenient but excellent as well. We will be back next Christmas. Happy holidays.

The room we stayed in was perfect for our needs. It was on the smaller side, but we knew that going in, and saved some money by staying in room 18. The bathroom was new, clean and spacious with a heated floor which was a nice touch. The bedroom was cozy, clean and well appointed. The location of this property is perfect for either beach or walking the shops and restaurants. Breakfast at the mad batter located on the first floor of the property was delicious with tremendous portions. We were provided with a $30 voucher each day, which covered the cost of breakfast for 2. Staff was friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to stay again.

We had a fantastic stay at the Carroll Villa in mid December 2026–our fourth or fifth stay over as many years in summer and winter. The staff and accommodations are great on all counts—the friendly service and feel of a family owned boutique, with the amenities and location equal to any competitors in the area. The restaurant being on location (and extremely popular in its own right, with excellent breakfast/bar/music) makes it extremely convenient for families.


A very unique place among the inns in Cape May, with a fittingly long track record.
