I went to reserve some rooms for my brothers bachelor party event in July and I couldn't pay in full with my credit card. We changed the location of our stay and now have our reservations! I thought this was fixed but apparently the family has no clue what they're doing. This will be the demise of your hotel, or... More

I just tried to book 6 rooms for a week in July for a small conference. Says no credit cards during July or some such crap. What hotel doesn't take credit cards these days? I'll tell you - one that doesn't put their customers first. I found another hotel right down the street that was more than happy to take... More

Overall excellent location near the beach, which is always a plus. What potential this place has if only they would bring in management who weren't so distrustful of their guests. I felt like I was staying at my overbearing aunts house. They should call this place the "don't" inn. Definitely don't expect to be able to pay for your room... More

This summer will be the 13th consecutive year our family has stayed at The Periwinkle. Great place for families with kids of all ages. Within walking distances to most Cape May activities and restaurants as well as steps to the beach. Owners and staff are as good as it gets.In the past we have stayed at three other Cape May... More

The periwinkle location is perfect for us.I always enjoy the color and layout when we first drive up to register. The motel face's the beginning of the promenade overlooking the ocean. We like the pleasant walk of a half mile or so on the promenade to the center of activity and a little further to the outdoor mall. The motel... More

We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights in early June and were so happy we chose this place! It is directly across from the beach! The hotel room was clean and well appointed and even had a little kitchen, which was great for breakfast in the morning. It is a little further down from the main attactions, but we... More

Our family of 4 stayed 4 nights: Wed. - Sun. into Labor Day Weekend. We loved it! Our room was clean and comfortable (2 queen beds). We really liked having the mini-fridge, microwave and coffee maker in the room. We had breakfast in our room every morning. Our room opened onto the pretty courtyard and pool. Our children enjoyed the... More

I've been going down every summer to Cape May, NJ for 27 years now. There are very few properties that compare to the Periwinkle Inn. The rooms are a nice size, clean and most have updated bathrooms. If you ask for extra towels, they are very amenable. The staff are friendly, courteous, and helpful. Since it is located further down... More

The hotel could have been cleaner and the room could was in need of remodeling at the very least. We had to go to the front desk twice for clean towels and extra small bars of soap. The room had a slight oder and needed new carpeting. I thought the hotel was a bit pricey and not worth the stay.... More

Hello and I am so sorry that your stay was not 100% enjoyable here at the Periwinkle Inn. I only wish our guests would tell us when there are problems like this with vacuuming! We certainly would have jumped right on it to send someone else down to your room and vacuum immediately. All guests need to know that we... More
