The Mad Batter and Carroll Villa Welcome You

The Mad Batter and the Carroll Villa Hotel staff would like to welcome you to our 33rd season as a Cape May historic hotel and restaurant.

We received the New Jersey's Governor Diamond Award as a Cape May destination point. The hotel is a national landmark hotel circa 1882. The restaurant is the recipient of many critically acclaimed awards and is considered the granddaddy of Cape May's many fine restaurants.

Come visit us and see the many changes we have made in the hotel and restaurant.

GOING “GREEN”

The Mad Batter Restaurant and Carroll Villa Hotel have been a leader in the growth of Cape May over the last 25 years and now this historic establishment is leading the way to a "greener" future.

Owners Mark Kulkowitz and his wife, Pam Huber have decided to take a stand in making environmentally sound choices while renovating their property. In 2008, while choosing to update their 125-seat dining space, 22-seat bar and 21-room hotel, going green was their only viable option.

The bar countertop is something you won't normally see, made from recycled glass, shell and concrete from a nearby distributor in Clayton, New Jersey. Earthy American clay was used to construct the ceiling. It goes on like plaster would and there are no VOCs (volatile organic chemicals) in the paint. Upstairs in the rooms adorned with hand selected antique furniture and collectibles, corn carpet can be found covering the floors. Mark and Pam have also installed a new dishwasher that saves 25,000 gallons of water per year and new Energy Star light bulbs throughout the hotel and restaurant.

Even though going green is not as cost efficient as other methods, the owners are committed to doing their part for the environment and hope others will do the same. Guests are encouraged to participate by refraining from daily sheet and towel changes if it is not necessary to do so.

Plans for 2009 include new energy efficient shower heads in all guest rooms. For the restaurant, they are awaiting the delivery of “smart” candles and tabletops that will not require tablecloths – further saving energy on multiple levels.

Lastly, Mark and Pam are in the preliminary stages of exploring the use of solar energy as an alternate power source for the hotel and restaurant.
