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.

The room was clean upon arrival. They definitely need to invest in some updated heating options though. Our room was between 51-55 degrees the entire time. It should not be that cold in there.

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.

We stayed in the Southern Quarters over Christmas. The cottage had heat but our room never warmed up above 57 degrees. The staff did provide a space heater that we put in the bathroom. The cottage had a small kitchen with a coffee maker, microwave, and refrigerator. Overall we had a very pleasant time in Cape May. Yes the room was cold but very comfortable. It made for a a memorable Christmas.

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!

I can't speak for warmer weather, but we stayed in December. The main hotel was closed, which we were not told when booking. We were looking for the Christmas experience. There was no contact with any hotel staff. We stayed in what they called the Southern Quarters, a separate building that housed 6 rooms. Even though the room had heat it was very cold. We were very cold all night. The floors were like ice. The bathroom was freezing! I don't think there was any heat in there. I would not recommend staying here in the cold weather.

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.
