8.6/10 Excellent! (405 reviews)

I enjoyed our stay at the Chalfonte Hotel. It felt like a step back in time in some ways, which was a nice change of pace. I loved that our family was provided an umbrella and chairs at the beach, which was included in the price of our stay. It was within an easy walk to the beach and the local Cape May establishments. The staff was lovely and very helpful. I would definitely look into staying here again.
