The location and the view are the best parts of this hotel the rest is below average. When you pay $500 dollars a night you can expect a lot more than what this hotel can offer. The quality of the staff is totally inconsistent. There are some very friendly young people working there but some others are just rude. I... more

This is our second trip to the Marquis. This hotel is absolutely magnificent. It is a dog friendly hotel, and the staff is very accommodating and gracious to you. We have 2 small dogs and can't wait to go back each year. They charge $100.00 cash as a security deposit for the pets and when they inspect the room they... more

I have stayed at the Marquis for most of my 50 years and wouldn't really consider staying elsewhere. I enjoy the view from the balcony, the constant roar of the ocean, and being at the center of the beach area. I would highly recommend getting one of the suite rooms and avoiding the Abbey or Victoria rooms as they are... more

This was our first experience taking our pet with us on vacation. This hotel was the only one we could find that was truly ocean front. The pet rooms are on the first floor with ceramic tiled floors and area carpets. Pluses include ocean front, centrally located to downtown Cape May, we walked everywhere and didn't move our car for... more

My husband and I always go to the Marquis every July for our anniversary. We can not think of any other place we would want to be but at "home" at the Marquis de Lafayette! We decided to do a weekend getaway in April. When I called the hotel to book our stay I was told it was Jazz weekend.... more

Stayed at the Lafayette this past week for an overnight.Had a room on w/ a gorgeous view of the ocean and beach.It was delightful sitting in the rocker on the balcony in the warm afternoon sun. The location can't be beat -right in the center of town and across from the beach.Close to shops and restaurants. The room was ok-sized... more

We stayed one night and the hotel was fine as somewhere to sleep and use for just that purpose. The hotel is centrally located and close enough to things that you could walk everywhere and just leave your car parked. The room was not fancy but was clean, nicely furnished and large enough for just the two of us. We... more

Well the first room we were given was much too small and the next day there was no problem changing to a room with a sitting area for the same price. Plenty of room, faced the ocean, outside sitting area, VERY pet friendly. I would totally recommend the rooms with a sitting area. Rooms also have a refrigerator and microwave.... more

I stayed at the Lafayette a year ago and had nothing but praise for it then. Unfortunately, I can't be so generous this time. What a different experience this year! The woman at the front desk was very rude and not the least bit helpful. She told me my room wasn't ready; I left for a bit and when I... more

Management response from
Louise Sinn, Manager

Preparing rooms for check in is a process in which we take great care. Rooms that are expecting check-ins and those already occupied get priority service—even if it means multiple housekeepers being assigned to a particular room. After the housekeepers are finished the Executive Housekeeper inspects the room and the maintenance department is called in for any items that require...

I booked a one night stay here for my family in March of this year. We drove for thirteen hours so we could attend our Sons graduation at the USCG traing center the next day. 1) The lady at the front desk was stiff and not to pleasant at all. 2) She insisted I was someone else that had a... more
