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.

The Chalfonte is an old rickety hotel that's very flawed but beautiful. Great vibe. Like staying in a museum. The issues that arise come from a lack in modern conveniences. The AC barely works. There's no drinking water. No ice. No mini fridge (except for an old little fridge in the Presidential suite.) No parking lot (gotta find a free spot in the neighborhood.) And simply dropping off your luggage out front in an illegal spot could result in a parking ticket. The majority of rooms have no bathroom. No shower. No hairdryer. No ironing boards. Shared bathrooms are available side by side in the middle of each long hallway. It's a lot to give up, when you consider similar priced rooms at other hotels closer to the beach that provide all of the above as they should. Recommend coming for the bar, the porch, the music, but not the stay.

Booked 3 rooms - it’s seemed to me it didn’t matter if I booked 1, 3 or 10 , a bit underwhelming welcome but we love the Chalfonte so much - I love the charm of the building and the rooms were clean - I already booked for Christmas :)
