Top Cape May Hotel Reviews

Marquis de Lafayette Hotel

Marquis de Lafayette Hotel

8/10 Good
"Beach view was great, the exterior was great, the staff were 5 star, and the pool was very nice. The interior restaurant was very dark and looked like more like a bar then a restaurant. The Room was fresh however two full size beds filled most of the room and for people who are older and heavier could not sleep together in one bed. The higher chairs and table was right next to the bed less then a foot away. They could not be used. Shower was great however, the basin was not in the room where the shower was. It was very awkward."

"Loved the privacy of each cabin and the amenities provided. Loved how easy was to communicate with the host and their willingness to assist. Kitchen EAs fully equipped with essentials and the property was clean enough to walk around barefoot. The pool are was rather small but pleasant. The firepit lit at 7pm and enough chairs for a large party and 7pm movie by the pool was entertaining. Would definitely stay here against cleaners however could’ve done a better job or the host could’ve has better control over ir as the unit we stayed was left with personal items, used soap empty shampoo bodywash hand soap containers, corner webs needed vacuuming and heavy smell of cleaning product that wouldn’t go away. Host was willing to change the room."
