The Marquis de Lafayette is quickly becoming my go-to hotel for trips to Cape May. Friendly staff, great location, and well positioned rooms. I look forward to another stay or two in 2025.

The mini fridge and coffee maker weren’t working and it wasn’t realized so food placed in the fridge went bad.

It was a nice stay. The staff were very friendly. We liked that there was live music and and outdoor bar open even though it was off season. The room had a livivg room area with a pullout couch and chair. A kitchenette with mini cooktop, microwave, fridge and sink. Modern bathroom with toiletires. One downside, Shower water pressure is not very strong. The balcony had 2 rocking chairs and a table over looking the pool and a view of the ocean. Great location! We parked our car (includes one spot) and walked to everything.

Old but frindly.
The staff were very friendly. This hotel is very old and worn.
The heater/ac unit was so loud. The bathroom was old and tiny. It was fine for a night but would not stay here again.

Brought the grandchildren down to Cape May for the weekend. Have stayed here before so knew exactly what to expect. Was just what we expected. We like having more room and the kitchenette. My favorite is the balcony.

Great location. Employee at check in desk was awesome. Bartender Shane at pool bar was great. Sheila who assisted me with my husbands dead mobility scooter was a blessing and so helpful!

Fabulous property, great location, right across the street from the beach, most rooms if not all have a balcony and view of ocean. Staff were extremely helpful and always pleasant. Even the staff you pass in the hall were pleasant. Outdoor pool, which was actually still open! Pool was heated! Restaurant & pool bar open for dinning. Great food and service. Live music Friday night at the pool bar. Rooms were not huge but fine for the three of us and would have been fine if we had four people. The bathroom is smaller and the tub/shower you have to step up over so may be a challenge for some people, but it was fine for us. Walkable to many shops and dinning. I am already talking about a return visit!
