I could not bear this hotel. My biggest problem - ants. Everywhere. One ant or two would not bother me...but this place was CRAWLING with them! Gross! The smell of the room was queer, to say the least. Many of our amenities were broken and/or in disrepair. Our room was dark and depressing... In the long run, we left early... More

When you're traveling you have to have a good sense of humor and go with the flow. We arrived about 3 PM. We weren't in our 4th floor room for more than 15 minutes when the fire alarm went off. Had to walk down 4 flights of stairs only to find it was a false alarm. (that was a good... More

The Marquis off season is not a bad place to stay if you're limited to pet friendly accomodations. The first floor rooms face the ocean and have both a living room and bedroom. The price and pet fee were reasonable. The room was clean but damp and musty. I wasn't sure if it was a doggie smell or just moisture.... More

Anyone who stays in Cape May is familiar with the issue of trying to find single night accomodations. Marquis De Lafayette allowed this during the weekend we stayed in early November and it looks like they do this most or all of the off-season. In summary I would say it's adequate if you aren't really concerned with the accomodations but... More

We made a trip to Cape May on short notice in the late Fall of 2011 and decided on the Marquis de Lafayette because of its location, room availability & pricing. Telephone reservations were easily transacted and the reservation desk clerk was most helpful. The room was small but clean and comfortable, the balcony was quite nice, and we were... More

I stayed at the Marquis on a beautiful early October weekend. No complaints about the room/hotel. It is a little on the expensive side but in a great location and has very spacious rooms. Breakfast buffet was also included which was great. I've stayed at the Marquis a number of times in the past and likely will again in the... More

We spent one night at this property the end of September. This was a last minute plan the Friday night before Octoberfest in CM and we were having difficulty finding availability. We were able to secure a room (201) at the Marquis. The room was dated and very dark but clean and the location is very convenient to Washington Mall,... More

We held our wedding reception at the Marquis De Lafayette in September. We were having a small wedding (approx. 75 guests) and needed something that would accommodate that. Not many places in Cape May do (at least affordably).They did a fantastic job and everything looked wonderful! The food was good (especially the desserts!) and the staff were all friendly and...

Upon arrival, we were offered a rate of $123, 50% off the rack rate; however, we were asked to initial an acceptance card which showed the full rate of $246. While in and of itself this was not a big deal, we did find it annoying since we had nothing in writing to indicate the lower rate. There was no... More

Maintaining an 84 unit, seashore resort hotel has its many challenges. "Lack of upkeep" is never the issue...it is quite the opposite! We have an extremely hard-working staff who do their jobs well even under the most difficult of situations and harshest of criticism. They look for solutions and make improvements on a daily basis with only the guests comfort... More

Great hotel right on the beach in Cape May. Nothing fancy but.....breakfast is included, the hotel has a nice pool (not too many kids until the afternoon), you can walk everywhere and it is centrally located on the main ocean drag. My sister and I have been coming back every summer for the last 9 years and have made it... More
