The inn is located in a great location just feet away from the beach. The staff were kind and courteous with all our questions and requests. I very much enjoyed the private patio option that we chose to get with our room. Although the weather was only good one of the nights, I have no complaints and only praise for... more

My husband and I together with our child arrived there earlier than our friends. Our friend was the one who booked the room so we were not allowed to get in the room unless we wait for our friend to come in otherwise we have to pay in CASH so they can accomodate us and inspite the fact that they... more

This was my first trip to Cape May. I went with my 70-yr old mother, so accessibility was most important to us. Our room was clean. Our balcony overlooked an impeccably clean pool & courtyard. The motel had an elevator, and it was just a very short walk across a road (where pedestrians have the right of way) to the... more

We had attended the Annapolis Sailboat Show and decided to make a trip to the Jersey Shore and stay for the night. We saw the Periwinkle and thought it looked nice. My husband went in and got prices. He told me they had a cancellation for a two-night stay and the cost would be $150.00 per night if we took... more

It started with the smile in the voice of the front desk which made us choose the Periwinkle Inn. The location, just steps across Beach Drive to the Ocean and within 7 blocks of 95% of the restaurants, Churches, walking mall with many shops. Nice clean rooms and the prices were good. From the ownership, to the front desk, maid... more

The Periwinkle Inn is a small quaint inn located oceanfront. We enjoyed our stay. The stay went better than I expected after reading reviews on here. I will mention that the hotel is shaped in a "U" and rooms located at the back of the "U" are considered oceanfront. I think it would be more accurate to call them ocean... more

The Periwinkle is great for familes. The courtyard is wonderful. The staff was nice. The rooms are a bit above average, but nothing special. Things they could do to improve your stay...have all rooms ready by 3 PM, not after 3 PM; have better towels and give you a few more; change the sheets, at least on the third day... more

My husband and I booked a mid week stay at this lovely motel at the last minute and what a pleasant surprise! Although the property barely resembles the '60s motel it once was, the owner has put many creative touches to the grounds and buildings to make it so. We stayed in room 105 which was at the end of... more

I have been staying at the Periwinkle for several years and my parents have been coming here at least once a year for over 20 years. The staff has always been more than helpful and the rooms are always clean. The pools (there is a kiddie pool too!!) and grounds are very well kept and you can't be any closer... more

I have been going to Cape May since 1968. I have been staying at the Periwinkle Inn for over 18 years. This hotel is alway spotless inside and out, we have never had a bad vacation at the Periwinkle. The entire staff is extremely freindly and courteous. The pool area is perfect for everyone especially for a family with children.... more
