The Marquis is beachfront beautiful with nice, spacious rooms that overlook the beach. And the room had rocking chairs so it was very relaxing and comfortable to sit out there in the morning for breakfast and in the evening for dinner. Very friendly 24 hour staff, good onsite eateries, and a wonderful section of Cape May to walk around. It was a glorious week in a great place!

Nice hotel a little strange that the doors are in the outside. They needs to mop the floors every once in a while. Our feet turned black from walking on the floors. Everything else was very clean. Overall very nice and beachfront! Beautiful view in the morning.

Lafayette Cape May

Great view from the balcony of the ocean and beach on a mild December day. Walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Negative - walls are too thin. The old couple in the next room watched the news loudly throughout the entire night and were talking loudly. They Never turned themselves off or the TV. My husband banged on the adjoining door to clue them in. Not a good experience. NO sleep for us.
