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.

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.

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.

No TV -which I neglected to read before booking. Not a B&B. Breakfast is a la carte. No fridge in room. I had to throw my very expensive leftovers away. They DO however, give a pass for beach valet service which is really great! Staff is nice. Would only stay again out of necessity though.

A delightful one night stay in a quaint old victorian era hotel. We stayed in the Southern House which is used in winter time I guess. Nicely appointed old property reminescent of many years ago in downtown cape may, near the beach and convention hall. Definitely recommend if you dont mind winding stairs.
