Very nice off season stay. While I don’t mind, the booking site does not indicate that off season you are in a different building and the main hotel is closed. I was disappointed by that but we still had a nice stay. Great price, old building with character, and good location.

Stay was pleasant
We had a wonderful couple days in Cape May. Chalfonte was nice but we weren't in the main building due to it being closed for the season. Would like to stay again but in the actual hotel next time.

The Chalfont is an old Victorian hotel. In the off-season you stay in the Southern Quarters. There are 9 rooms on 3 floors. Rooms 1-3 are on the first floor and the heat is controlled by one main thermostat in the hallway. Once the outside temps dropped so did the room temperature. The hallway temperature was 56. The bathroom tile floor is freezing and it took forever for the sink water to heat up. Outside of the temps, the room was nice, the bed was comfortable, nice TV with many stations. Everything is within walking distance.

If you like old world history this historical hotel is for you. My visit was during off season so didn't get to experience the hotel in full swing. Had nice amenities for being an old building.

I was pleasantly surprised that this room had a TV. I seen them advertise that they didn't offer any TV's in their rooms, but this place is so big that most of the other rooms might not have one. The bathroom was very nice. The shower was big. It was very clean. The hotel is also close to the mall so I made several trips on for. Also did a trolley ghost tour and found out that this place has a few ghosts. Which makes it a bit more interesting. I will definitely look into this place in the future.

We stayed here for two nights and enjoyed everything about it. We weren’t in the main hotel but in the “southern” house, which seemed to be a little quieter. Check in was very easy and McKenna escorted us to our building/room. She was extremely friendly and helpful when we couldn’t get our tv to work properly. The rooms are small but clean and can’t be beat for the price! The location is ideal! We walked to the Jazz festival, shopping and to several restaurants. Will def recommend!

It’s a charming old hotel. And given its age old is fine, but the walls in my bedroom were in need of a good paint job. They were marred and it looked like it hadn’t been painted in many years.
