Lovely, welcoming stay

The owners are lovely; the historic hotel is charming, welcoming and super clean. The screened in porch off Room 1 was beautiful and much appreciated!
ELIZABETH, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely historic property; so clean and well maintained. The beds are very comfy and I particularly enjoy the in-room sinks separate from the bathroom, so convenient. The hosts are terrific, communicative, and helpful. They were super responsive when I accidentally locked myself out one evening. There is also a delightful shared cosy kitchen nook/ area with microwave, refrigerator, makings for coffee, tea- overall just a wonderful, special experience. I've already been back two more times after my first stay, and look forward to many more future visits to the Chalafonte!

Lori, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

A very unique, fun place to stay!

Beautiful grounds..lots of cool cubby hole rooms on the main floor - tons of gorgeous antiques throughout. Great History.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful historical property. Only failing it took several minutes to get hot water.
Roslyn, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay was very nice, everything was exactly what we wanted. Our only complaint is that since there is a bar attached to the property, it got a bit noisy at night. Would stay again, though!

Southern quarters are small I would recommend only two people and the sink was not in the bathroom. Otherwise everything was clean and painless. My fiancee and I had a great weekend trip.
