We enjoyed the Victorian-era design and charm of the Chalfonte, especially the wrap-around balcony with rocking chairs and tables. It was an easy walk from the hotel to the Convention Center and the beach.

Lovely historic property; so clean and well maintained. The beds are very comfy and I particularly enjoy the in-room sinks separate from the bathroom, so convenient. The hosts are terrific, communicative, and helpful. They were super responsive when I accidentally locked myself out one evening. There is also a delightful shared cosy kitchen nook/ area with microwave, refrigerator, makings for coffee, tea- overall just a wonderful, special experience. I've already been back two more times after my first stay, and look forward to many more future visits to the Chalafonte!

The room was a nice size in the Southern Quarters of the Chalfonte hotel. The bathroom was beautiful. This is quite an old house and of course like any older home you don’t have a completely level floor, we kind of expect that. The one thing that was really disconcerting in the room was the antique dresser, which was leaning against the wall and had wheels on one side and not on the other so it was quite tilted, it gave the optical illusion that the room was sloping downward especially when lying on the bed. It was a beautiful antique and if that were fixed it would give a much better feel to the room.
