Such a nice place- comfy, spacious room with kitchenette, lovely patio with chairs, table and chaises, beautiful pool and well kept grounds, free parking, and directly across the street from the beautiful beach! Thank you Periwinkle Inn!

09-05-2016
Pros: The proximity to the beach
Cons: The dishonesty. When I arrived I was told that the price I paid when booking online
was for only one person, and that I needed to pay for my daughters. The problem is that they knew I was a family of three prior to my arrival because someone from the hotel called me the day after I booked online to tell me that they did not accept Amex. So I needed to give them another card. At that time, I asked for a room not on the ground floor because I said I was traveling with only my young daughters, and not my husband. The woman said NOTHING about paying more for my room. Had she did, I would have canceled my reservation because I would not have felt the motel was worth the extra $$. They waited until I checked-in to charge me. Terrible business practice. I plan on writing a review of this motel on every site I can find. With so many options at Cape May, stay somewhere else, with a staff that has some integrity.

Pros: Clean room. Lots of pillows and comfortable bed with storage drawers. Pool and grounds very clean. Housekeeping staff very friendly.
Cons: AC worked well however no matter what we did to adjust air flow it would blow directly on you no matter which bed or side you were on. 'Closet' more of a cubbie.
For the price charged an iron and ironing board would have been nice to have and surprised they didn't.
Shower pressure was terrible.
I feel we would have received better price booking directly from hotel rather than booking.com

Pros: The beds were comfortable. The room was clean. Nice looking.
Cons: We didn't have a car which made the distance from the center of town inconvenient. The door to the terrace was stuck so that the terrace wasn't easily available. A green light in the ceiling, which kept flickering, was disturbing at night.
