Beautiful property. Our room was in the third floor. hotel does not have an elevator and no one to help you bring your luggage to your room.
Property is among oldest hotels in Cape May and has that kind of old world charm, yet the modern AC and cleanliness of room, along with pleasant and friendly staff helped make our stay enjoyable.
The Hotel was just what I needed, in the sense of being transported back to the 1800’s. I liked that there was no tv in any of the rooms. That made me want to explore the area and the hotel even more.
It was very nice a little pricey for just a room with a bed and bathroom no television at the place was pretty cool being the oldest hotel in Cape May close to the beach and shopping
I really liked the location which was close to the beach and to the shopping area. We used the second floor balcony for reading and relaxing. It was also nice to have coffee available in the morning on the first floor. After checking out we ended up eating breakfast at the hotel which was convenient and the food and service were good.
Lovely stay in lovely Cape May. The Chalfonte has the best location- such an easy walk to Washington Mall and the beach/boardwalk. Finding street parking was a challenge, but we just tried not to move our car much and didn’t have to since we could walk to so many places. The room was perfectly clean, though somewhat outdated, especially the hallway areas. We did hear some noise from nearby rooms and outside, but nothing unbearable. A mini fridge and microwave in each room would be a great addition.
Victorian hotel. Our room had a private toilet and shower with the sink in the room. Other room share bathroom facilities, ask the hotel before booking. Breakfast very good. 5 minutes walk to beach5-20 minutes walk to shopping. Parking on street, we got lucky to get fairly close. Staff excellent. Thursday night music on the porch/lawn, get there early!

Absolutely no parking! Packed blocks away lugging stuff. No refrigerator in room. And you could hear all the other guests.
Cute historic hotel, friendly staff and good location. Room wasn’t clean, there was a pair of crumpled up pants and a partially rolled up rug under the bed. The toilet needed scrubbing. Noisy mechanical sounds every 10 minutes.
