Cool historic hotel that made us feel like the heydays of Cap May. It was a short trip so we did not get to experience the restaurant or bar. Everything was well maintained. Bathrooms new. Great bed. Nic e little coffee area and a nice evig porch to get your first cupa in the sun. No TVs in room but it feels like a special place overall.

The hotel was very clean, but could use some updating. The thermostat in our room showed 91% humidity and a guest accidentally set off the fire alarm while using a hair dryer. There is no tv or mini fridge. Location is great and it was not difficult to find nearby street parking.

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!

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!

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!
