Loved our stay at the Chalfonte! This was our second time staying off-season at the Southern Quarters and it was such a pleasant stay. Cozy room, quiet and peaceful, and close to both downtown and the beach. Would definitely stay again!

Our check in experience was different then described on the Expedia website. We booked the hotel under the assumption that we would be getting the check in information 48 hours prior to our check in time. After less than 24 hours, I contacted the property in order to get the information. The person I spoke with informed me I should have received that information when we booked, but I didn’t get it from Expedia. I’m not sure if this is a miscommunication, or what exactly happened. Once we figured out check in, we enjoyed the nice quiet stay at the Chalfonte Southern Quarters. I did wish however that we were staying in the ACTUAL hotel instead of the Southern Quarters. I did feel like the price point was a little steep for having not actually stayed in the Chalfonte, but instead the property off to the side. Other than that, our stay was mostly pleasant. Other tenants were very kind and quiet. I will say though that our bed spread was not cleaned. There were a few large stains on the comforter and the top sheet. We did not use them throughout the trip. The rest of our room was relatively clean.
