Cute historic hotel, friendly staff and good location. Room wasn’t clean, there was a pair of crumpled up pants and a partially rolled up rug under the bed. The toilet needed scrubbing. Noisy mechanical sounds every 10 minutes.

Our dining experience was terrible. We were guests at the Chalfonte and had a dinner reservation for 5:30. There was a wedding celebration of approximately 80 guests on the porch. Management should not have seated us on the porch during their cocktail hour. The noise was unbearable between the wedding guests & the beer bottles being tossed into the bussing bucket behind the bar. We could not hear each other talk no less have a conversation. What started out as a lovely stay was ruined Because of our dining experience..the manager wanted to Move us a couple of tables away with our food on our plates which was half eaten…Not Happy!!

It was a charming old hotel and I’m glad we experienced the stay. Our room was quite small and we could hear EVERYTHING happening in the room next door. I’m an early riser and coffee wasn’t available until almost 7:20am. We had no fridge in our room so they kept a bottle of wine for us behind the front desk.

Beautiful building with great dining facilities, delicious food, and live music. Really appreciated your umbrella and beach chair service. - Our room was small and spartan.

We stayed in the Southern Quarters. The wall to the next room was thin and we could hear our neighbors talking loudly for a while around midnight. We didn't realize we had been put there; have always stayed in the main building and never even thought Southern Quarters was an option. I also had a thermostat war going with someone who kept turning the AC down to the 60s!

I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading some of the negative reviews and was quite nervous. I was so pleasantly surprised to find a beautiful hotel that was very clean, with very friendly staff, and great location. Yes, it’s a historic building so if that’s not your thing, there are many modern hotels in the area. I enjoy the charm and so many original details. The bed was very comfortable, the room was spotless, AC worked well. They serve complimentary coffee/tea in the morning, and have chairs/umbrellas at the beach included.

I have always enjoyed staying at this hotel. It’s in a great location. Close to the beach and walkable to town and so many restaurants. It’s great that they offer chairs and an umbrella at the beach. My favorite perk. But, next time I will bring my own just in case. They weren’t available in the Friday, and if it storms in the morning they might not open, even if is nicer later in the day. The staff is very friendly and go out of their way to help you.
