“Good stay but the winds keep the room cool”
+I have been staying at the Southern Quarters for years after the Christmas holidays and this by far was the windiest holiday I have ever seen. The heat could not keep up with it. I somehow every year get room 7 which is on the top floor which probably at one time was the attic or a servants quarters for the house 100 years ago. I like its funky configuration, which makes it look a bit like a Village loft. The only problem was on a days like these when the wind picked up, it went right through the windows and cooled the room down even with the heat on. The first night I stayed there the wind was not so bad and the room was hot but the second night, the wind was in full force and the windows, even though they had a winterized covering, the cool air went through the window frames that are probably 100 years old. Being in a room on the top floor, you could feel the building shake and even the floorboards and bed shook, which I never experienced before in all the years I had stayed in this room. Still the room was warm enough to sleep in the second night and I got a good night’s sleep both nights. The beds are really comfortable and you really get a good night’s rest here. The shower ca

“Great food, great time”
+The food at the Magnolia was excellent. So is the band. They were very good and included all kinds of instruments. Played great songs. And the food was excellent as I mentioned above. Would highly recommend.

+Would not recommend this to anyone. The staircase (no elevator) is far too steep and narrow to be considered safe. Our room was very dirty with chipping paint and cobwebs all over the ceiling. Walls very thin, we could hear the family next to us crystal clear. And the very loud bar just below our room made for sleeping impossible.

+Shops and restaurants were in walking distance! Also the beach! There wasn't a kitchen in our room or my friends room. It was a nice historic hotel and a fair price. Our only complaint was not knowing there was two booked weddings during our stay. Which limited our access to the restaurant and bar in the hotel. So we learned a lesson about CapeMay, September is wedding season there. Not the hotels fault, but we will ask next time if they are having big events.

“I had a very nice four night stay”
+I stay at the Chalfonte Hotel every year for the Firemen’s Convention and now it seems more firemen are staying at the hotel I noticed after my stay. My room was on the top floor of the hotel way in the back where I could not hear the wedding or entertainment below. It was so quiet and relaxing on my original three day stay I decided to extend it another night and my last day slept in and enjoyed breakfast on the porch of the Magnolia Room restaurant. There is something about the classic charm of this hotel that I enjoy. I attended the Ramble on the Thursday night that I arrived where the crowds have doubled in size over the years. I also enjoy dining in the Magnolia Room but they need to jazz up the menu a bit since Lucille retired. It might be nice to change some things around. Still I was able relax and enjoy my stay and even walk on the beach a few blocks away.

+We enjoyed the large amount of common area seating including a lovely wrap around porch. There was a dearth of horizontal surfaces in the room.
