The hotel room was great, the downstairs bar had nice music too. Note that this hotel does provide any beach towels but they do offer beach umbrellas.

Rico, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful happening hotel very close to the beach. Staff was very kind. They give you beach chairs with umbrellas, and fresh coffee in the morning. The only negative was the bed size. It was a bit difficult to sleep on a full size, so if thats an issue make sure you book a room with a queen.
Adam, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

I enjoyed our stay at the Chalfonte Hotel. It felt like a step back in time in some ways, which was a nice change of pace. I loved that our family was provided an umbrella and chairs at the beach, which was included in the price of our stay. It was within an easy walk to the beach and the local Cape May establishments. The staff was lovely and very helpful. I would definitely look into staying here again.

This is a beautiful Victorian property full of classic charm. Its location is convenient to multiple options such as dining, shopping and beach time. The staff was wonderful.
LISA, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

We enjoyed the Victorian-era design and charm of the Chalfonte, especially the wrap-around balcony with rocking chairs and tables. It was an easy walk from the hotel to the Convention Center and the beach.
Ronald, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Victorian era hotel with some modern amenities. Pros: - The staff were friendly and accommodating. - Loved the complimentary beach equipment rental - and cleanliness. Cons: - Lights flickered and - wifi did not work in our room. - At some point during our stay, the water dispenser in the lobby broke and was not replaced.
Godwin, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We have been traveling to cape may for decades. The Chalfonte staff was THE NICEST staff we have ever encountered. The room was perfect for us, and we were far enough away that we went to bed early and were unbothered by the music playing late into the night. The BEST part was the beach chairs and umbrellas that you get set up for you on the beach for being a Chalfonte guest. This was a perfect get away and we loved everything about Chalfonte!
Melissa, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Vintage property with cool public spaces. Live music featuring very talented rhythm and blues. Restaurant is convenient. I was lucky with street parking and the beach umbrella and lounge chairs are a plus. The front desk was super helpful. They brought my bags up to my 3rd floor room. If you like the vintage feel this place a good choice. I will book here again.

Ez parking walking to shops restaurants.
Carolyn, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Overall run down. There is only air conditioning ( window units) in the rooms. Boiling hot in lobby and hallways. Run by kids. I will not return to this hotel. Although I e block from the beach. The air conditioning unit had trouble keeping the room cold. The bathroom was hot because of poor air conditioning
Jeanine, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staff was uniformly great. Decor is very Victorian! Not so great having to climb lots of stairs - no elevators. Plumbing fixtures in bathroom awful! Plumbing and electricity very dated throughout. Only 1 TV in the coffee room, they should also put 1 or 2 in the bar. Outdoor music fun and lively scene.
