This was our second visit to the Southern Mansion, and my score reflects a comparison to our first visit. This time we stayed in room #5, a beautiful mustard colored room decorated with antique furniture and tapestry. It featured a small bathroom with commode and a large walk-in shower. The sink was located in the bedroom in an outcove. The room was spotlessly clean, with a hint of fresh lemon scent. On check-in, we had expected to be informed of the time for high tea, but were disappointed to find it had been discontinued. On our prior visit, high tea was one of the highlights of our stay, which featured tea, wine, pastry, and fresh vegtables with a creamy dip. Our breakfast the next morning featured a crab omlet (yes, crab!) and a spinach omlet both served with deliciously thick bacon. My wife reported the crab omlet to be the most fantastic omlet she's ever eaten. We departed happy, but a bit disappointed in the missing high tea. Of course, new visitors would never know of this pleasant event. If you think you'd like to stay in a historic, opulent Cape May mansion, this is the one. It's centrally located and within a 10 minute walk to the quaint Washington Mall shopping district.
