“Marquis De Lafayette wins on location; across from the beach and a short walk to shops and restaurants, plus ocean views from the balcony are hard to beat; the pool scene, complete with live music, definitely amplifies the Cape May vibe. While I noted some concerns about bed comfort, the convenient kitchenette and provided beach essentials still make it a solid choice for a no-frills stay.”
