This has to be the worst stays at a hotel in my 30 years of existence! I have never ever ever been treated so horribly by a hotel. Received horrible service from girl at front desk, I don't know her name but she was work on the night of September 4 at 11:00 p.m. She gave us a terrible time... more

Stayed for one night at the end of August. The place is old as in old fashioned. I didn't expect much after the reviews but here are my pros and cons in a nutshell: Pro: Location near the beach, allows pets if that's what you need and the breakfast buffet included is extremely well run with friendly staff Cons: Old... more

We travel to Cape May every year and decided to stay somewhere different this year. After looking at the Cape May web site, we decided on the Marquis De Lafayette Hotel. About a week before my stay we came across the negative reviews about the hotel and I was leary, to say the least. First off, location is amazing. Walking... more

My husband and our 2 children (ages 15 & 13) had a wonderful time! Everyone at the hotel is so accomodating and friendly. We loved John - he went out of his way to make us comfortable. Tony from Maintenance was friendly and very informative! I plan on making the Marquis Delafayette our destination hotel when we return to Cape... more

We checked out today, 7/1/10, after our third stay this year and dropped in to thank the manager for the good job he is doing. We were shocked when he told us about some of the negative comments on tripadvisor, and we could tell that he was truly hurt by them. He said the hotel is his life, and we... more

We've stayed here several times over the past few years. Though the hotel is old, it is well taken care of, and always clean. We also love that its pet friendly. One complaint: the property is non-smoking, but they allow smoking at the poolside bar. The smoke drifts into nearby rooms, and can be very unpleasant, especially if you're sitting... more

My husband & I and daughter, son in law and 2 year old grandson stayed here for 5 days to attend my nieces Wedding being held at the Alcott. Louise the desk clerk was welcoming and most pleasant upon arrival. She went out of her way to make sure our stay was comfortable. Our cleaning woman, Senna, was courteous, attentive... more

We stayed here for 2 nights, and had a mini suite w/a mini kitchen & balcony, which looked out over the beach. The location was good, and the hotel was nicely kept up. Free buffet breakfast was a nice touch - beats the morning hunt for a breakfast spot. Food was good, service very nice. Had a minor issue with... more

Upon arriving at the hotel we had checking in (front desk woman was fairly rude), and spent the night just relaxing on our balcony. In the morning we all went down to the Victorian Gardens Restaurant and were met by wonderful staff. We noticed the omelet station and decided to give it a try. WOW, we were almost taken aback... more
