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.

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
