We did a girls’ overnight to see the Christmas lights in Cape May and do a little holiday shopping and we were all really pleased with our rooms and the staff. The location is very convenient to a number of restaurants and shops, and the ocean is right across the street. Our rooms were immaculate and the bathrooms were spotless and modern. The only letdown was the food at breakfast. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great. However, we all agreed we would definitely stay here again.

The staff were very kind and very efficient. The rooms were cleaned and well kept. My only suggestion would be to supply the rooms with bottled water.

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.

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.
