The room was clean upon arrival. They definitely need to invest in some updated heating options though. Our room was between 51-55 degrees the entire time. It should not be that cold in there.

Southern quarters are small I would recommend only two people and the sink was not in the bathroom. Otherwise everything was clean and painless. My fiancee and I had a great weekend trip.

We stayed in the Southern Quarters over Christmas. The cottage had heat but our room never warmed up above 57 degrees. The staff did provide a space heater that we put in the bathroom. The cottage had a small kitchen with a coffee maker, microwave, and refrigerator. Overall we had a very pleasant time in Cape May. Yes the room was cold but very comfortable. It made for a a memorable Christmas.

Our stay was very nice, everything was exactly what we wanted. Our only complaint is that since there is a bar attached to the property, it got a bit noisy at night. Would stay again, though!

I can't speak for warmer weather, but we stayed in December. The main hotel was closed, which we were not told when booking. We were looking for the Christmas experience. There was no contact with any hotel staff. We stayed in what they called the Southern Quarters, a separate building that housed 6 rooms. Even though the room had heat it was very cold. We were very cold all night. The floors were like ice. The bathroom was freezing! I don't think there was any heat in there. I would not recommend staying here in the cold weather.

We stayed here for two nights and enjoyed everything about it. We weren’t in the main hotel but in the “southern” house, which seemed to be a little quieter. Check in was very easy and McKenna escorted us to our building/room. She was extremely friendly and helpful when we couldn’t get our tv to work properly. The rooms are small but clean and can’t be beat for the price! The location is ideal! We walked to the Jazz festival, shopping and to several restaurants. Will def recommend!
