They were amazing! I had an injury while in Cape May and they were wonderful about changing us to first floor room. The hotel has an amazing history. Would definitely recommend it to everyone.

I was thoroughly happy with the Chalfonte Hotel (though I actually stayed in the "Southern Quarters," which is next door as a sort of add-on to the original). The accommodations were built in 1876, so of course the rooms are smaller than people are used to now, the hotel doesn't have elevators, and travelers can hear things go bump in the night. The room still had old marble-topped desks! Check-in was easy. The "breakfast room" was pleasant. I was happily surprised to discover that parking (at least in March) was easily available in front of the building. The location in general was great--close to the Cape May downtown, within walking distance, really. Absolutely charming building, built in the Queen Anne style that is usual for Cape May. The building was old--that's part of the appeal--but the interiors didn't seem shabby, and everything was clean. Highly recommended.

Very clean, cozy room with comfortable bed. Traveled in Feb so it was very quiet. Only con was the room was very cold but I didn’t realize until too late that there was an electric heater. Felt very welcoming and safe. McKenna was very pleasant and very helpful

Charming and historic, great location. Responsive staff. We stayed in off season, in the off season Amex, which had a small common space with microwave, dining table and kettle- convenient for breakfast.

Spotless, very charming room, easy check in. But I desperately need another harsher. This stand alone addicted on the back of the house is not serviceable in this weather without an additional heater to to the one supplied. I’ve slept in my overcoat and an hat all night long.

Such a cozy stay! We loved the room and the location of the hotel is phenomenal. Even though it was off season, we found more than enough to do and the hotel’s proximity to everything was great! Definitely will stay here again if we ever come back to the area.

Very charming room and very clean. Found street parking right outside. Room was right next to a kitchen area, and I noticed coffee perking there as we were leaving. TV was great. Temperatures were artic that night, and the heating was noisy enough to disturb one person's sleep. The location in Cape May is only a few blocks from the mall...easy walking. Considering the location and the nice room, this was an absolute steal...exceptionally good value. We agreed it would be where we try to stay next December if available.

Beautiful old building. Rooms are small, but just enough for what we needed. The staff were amazing. The several fireplaces going made it feel very cozy.
