Can't Wait to Return
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.

The parking was a problem. In fact, someone hit my car in the rear leaving damage on the bumper (2021 Camery). The parking is very tight and hard to get into. We quickly learned not to move the car if you had a decent space right beside the hotel. The smaller parking lot was awful, however, whoever hit my car did it in the large parking lot beside the hotel.

Best beach hotel I've ever stayed at. Enough room for a family of 4 and easy with walking almost everywhere in Cape May. Close to the beach and restaurants...and a pool. More seats at said pool would be nice but that's a nitpick. Would definitely return.
