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

We have been going the the jersey shore all of our lives, one of our favorite places to stay is the Periwinkle Inn! The staff is friendly and accomodating--they even love to take my daughter for a swim in the pool for me! They have a play area for the kids, a great pool and are literally right across the... more

I have been searching for a place like the PERIWINKLE INN for about 5 years. A friend told me about this site and that the PERIWINKLE INN's reviews were not so good, so i felt that justice needed to be served. So i decided to write this review for this wonderful hotel. I wanted some place that had a big... more

Periwinkle Inn is a very nice oceanfront hotel! I found my home away from home! I have been to Cape May many times, and I have stayed at almost every hotel there, and if I did not stay there I definantly went to a lot of the properties to check them out. Hands down Periwinkle Inn is one of the... more

Just got back from the Periwinkle. We had an opportunity to book a late summer vacation as our children start school later in the month. Rooms were dirty and smelly. Housekeeping didn't arrive until late in the day and spent all of 30 minutes in our suite - and it showed. Not much vacuuming, bathrooms only wiped down. Carpet was... more

Hello. Our establishment is surprised to learn of such dislikes in regards to our rooms. We pride our place with cleanliness, and if a guest tells the front desk that they felt their room was not being serviced/ cleaned, we would have fixed any problems to the customer's satisfaction. We wish we had we been made aware of it. The...

I have been coming to Cape May with my family for almost 20 years now, and as far back as I can remember, I have stayed at the Periwinkle. This year, my parents were not able to join me but my fiance and I decided to keep the tradition alive. Once again, we booked the Periwinkle only to further enhance... more
