Cape May, New Jersey: Victorian Lace Inn; hotel review

Victorian Lace Inn

901 Stockton Ave./Jefferson, (609) 884-1772. Pets ok.

exterior of Victorian Lace Inn in Cape May, New Jersey

This all-suite 1869 Colonial Revival mansion known as the Victorian Lace Inn drips with gingerbread trim and is well located to the beach, the beachfront promenade, and the gathering spot that is the popular Washington Street outdoor mall. It’s a bit like grandma’s house remembered or imagined, with hand-crocheted bedspreads, natural wood floors, and plenty of that namesake lace covering its windows. Louvered doors front solid doors allowing in a breeze, and on most days an expansive breakfast is served in sight of the ocean on an enormous wrap-around front porch.
