The most beautiful, magical, fairy tale like experience at The Harrison/Pharos Bed and Breakfast! From the most delicious (and work-of-art breakfast) prepared by a talented chef Kamala, to the friendliest and most helpful management and all the staff, this was one of the best and most relaxing vacations we've ever had! The hotel location is set on one of the prettiest streets in Cape May, surrounded by other Victorian ginger bread houses. It's only one block to the beach, and super close walk to Washington Street Mall, which made this experience even more amazing! Top that off with the most stunning French style decor, and ability to enjoy the end of your day on a rocking chair of a magical Victorian wraparound porch, and you feel that you never want to leave. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!

10/10 Exceptional

We just enjoyed a long weekend at The Harrison. The staff was friendly and helpful; breakfast each day was different and delicious. There were helpful additions like available umbrellas. The only negative I have is that there were bright lights on the front of the building shining on our windows, and no room-darkening window treatment. The drapes were pretty, but some room-darkening shades would be helpful!

Breakfast was ok. Two choices not really what I would eat for breakfast. Unfortunatey left early sunday before breakfast cause of nor ' eastern coming. . Hard to get info abt it. People were nice and accomodating if needed. TV in our room had to be plugged and unplugged to work. Wish i knew about the other building they had...pharos. Thought they would habe a walk in shower. Been to other places with more amenities and more helpful staff. Parking abit hard.

Thank you for a wonderful place to stay to celebrate a milestone anniversary. Staff were great and made us feel at home away from home. The Harrison was a very charming bed and breakfast that was walking distance to all the Cape May attractions .

The room, public spaces, breakfast, staff and central location on a shady street among the victorians were all outstanding. A wonderful place to stay in a very charming town. Highly recommended. A suggestion - glasses not plastic cups in the room.
