Cape May can be overwhelming for someone looking for rest and relaxation, but this was "just what the doctor ordered" ! Upon arrival, at 8:00pm we were greeted by Harriett, shown the layout of the house, and given our key. We stayed in room #2, which was the largest of the house. Room runs the whole right side of the... more

I decided to spend my 50+ birthday alone in Cape May. (a great town). I liked the look of Poor Richard's Inn on Jackson Street so I called Harriett and booked for 3 days. It was a 6 hour bus trip from NYC to get there but worth every minute. I felt like I knew Harriett from the start and... more

We have been coming to Cape May for Memorial Day since 2000 and have stayed at Poor Richard's since first discovering it in 2001. It is an ideal location and the rooms are charming. The breakfast is great and Harriet, the owner, really makes you feel at home and that your enjoyment is important to her. Overall a great experience. more

It will continue to be my... more

The great virtue of Poor Richard's Inn is that it isn't some fussy, cutesy-poo place with over-orchestrated "breakfast experiences." I loved relaxing on the upstairs porch with a glass of wine in the evenings, and the breakfast was just fine. The innkeeper is great - funny, and helpful without being unctuous. I've stayed there several times and look forward to... more
