Accommodations

Poor Richard's Inn offers rooms furnished with antiques of eclectic nature. Some of the decor is more towards the country Victorian, featuring our collection of patchwork quilts, oak and pine furniture, blanket chests, hook rugs and painted cottage beds. In other areas the decor is more traditionally Victorian, with marble top bureaus, ornate beds, floral wallpapers, Lincoln rockers and the like. All bedrooms are air-conditioned and have their own baths.

Reservations and Cancellation Policy
Please phone us to inquire about specific dates. A deposit will hold your reservation. No deposits will be refunded for weekends or holidays. Please do not make a reservation until you are sure of your plans, because our official policy is no refunds. In the event of a cancellation, we will make every effort to re-rent the room for the days that we held for you. If we can do so, we will make a refund minus a $30 service charge.

Guests are expected to pay upon arrival.

Guests are responsible for the full number of days that rooms are reserved.

Architecture
While the whole of downtown Cape May is on the National Register of Historic Places, our distinctive Second Empire style exterior has earned us an individual listing on the register. We have added a new slate roof and applied a multi-color paint scheme that accentuates the details in the interlocking facade of bays and bracketed cornices, porches with arched gingerbread, and fretwork balustrades, beltcorses, friezes, and other things one looks up in architectural dictionaries.

Poor Richard's is centrally located in the middle of town on a residential block, 1/2 a block to the shopping mall, and three houses from the beach. We are right next to the famous Mad Batter Restaurant, and within walking distance of nearly everything.

Sorry, no on site parking. We will provide you with an off-site parking permit.

Please be aware there is a cat on the premises
