Description of Chalfonte Hotel
Located just two and one half blocks from the beach, the beloved Chalfonte stretches an entire city block, boasting an expansive wrap-around porch lined with rocking chairs from which you can enjoy a nice book or sip a cool cocktail from the famous King Edward Bar. Guests of the hotel are also preview to one of the most fantastic views in the city from our third floor cupola. The Chalfonte Hotel is considered the oldest operating hotel on the East Coast. Each guest room is unique in furnishings and design providing a summer cottage feel. Rooms are cooled by modified air conditioning and ceiling fans. Our legendary Magnolia Room restaurant serves a sumptuous buffet breakfast from 8:30AM to 10:00AM and a fixed price four-course dinner from 6:00PM to 9:00PM. Known for its southern-style cuisine, the Magnolia Room is host to family style dining at its best. The King Edward Bar is open from 5:00PM to 1:00AM and is known as Cape May's best kept secret. Guests enjoy a nice wine and beer selection as well as signature cocktails. Friday, Saturday and Sunday feature a Still Life of Cheese from 5:00PM to 8PM. A truly gourmet experience of select imported cheeses and olives, all to experience and enjoy with our compliments. The Chalfonte is a rich study of community and tradition, featuring nightly entertainment and monthly art exhibits. It is more than a typical hotel, the Chalfonte is a cultural experience. read more

The location to the beach was great. Also to move around the city to different attractions was good.
The rooms could have been more private.

The people running the hotel were the greatest. The children were pleased with the location and the pictures beauty of the hotel. It was very charming.

Location.
Knowledge of staff. Bed covers, bathrooms.

This was a very bad experience. Hate to say the worst. Bed covers were torn. Door handles are loose. If you pull the door, the knob comes off. Two common bath rooms for about 20 or 30 rooms. Front door of the room has a lock, but the back door, simply opens if you simply push hard enough.

Clean, attractive, pleasant, friendly courteous staff, lovely veranda with rocking chairs.
No air conditioning. Area is very hot & humid in summer /very difficult to sleep at night.

Very attractive old wooden hotel. Attractive, clean rooms, public areas and dining room. Pleasant courteous staff. No air conditioning made it difficult to sleep in the hot humid weather. Also, most rooms have shared bathroom facilities.
