    Mini water garden
    on s.

    I absolutely love this place. Yes I have read both the 5 and 1 star reviews and I hope not to encounter any problems here. And If I do, I sure hope it will not be a nightmare as others have experienced. However, during my stay here, it was magnificent! I had the M1 (2 queen size, kitchenette (microwave, mini coffee maker, small fridge- no utensils or plates), pvt bath, tv, pvt patio, hair dryer, mini table, two chairs, mini sofa and the usual toiletries. The place was clean, we had house keeping everyday. They even made pretty origami out of your towels. At the front door our car was parked directly outside. A sliding door that lead to our mini patio with two addition chairs and a mini table with direct access to lounge chairs and pool. We checked in late with no problems. They even gave us an hour extra complimentary check out without any problems. There is an outside shower, kiddie pool and large pool up to 8 feet deep!!! No life guard. They have a cute small fire pit (gas), corn hole game, shuffle and mini sand box for the babies. They have a mini water garden. The ambiance is so pretty. The exterior of the hotel seems well maintained and groomed. Their grass is so soft. Across the street is the beach. Easy to reach. You need to purchase your own beach pass (cash only). You are located in the beginning of the east side of the broad walk. Great view for sunrise. The hotel is close to all venues! All within walking distance or there is a shuttle bus available for free (Jitney or Cape May Beach Buggy) tips not included. Cons; During my first day stay the sink was clogging up.... informed front desk and by the time I returned from my daily walk... all was fixed! It's definitely a smoking paradise. Just hope that your neighbors do not smoke. Yes their elevator is still broken. It gets quiet at the later part of the night but in the early mornings you will start to hear babies crying and people talking. I guess the walls are thin. Reminds me of Savannah- all the hotel walls there were just as equally really thin! It's not the Hiltons but it's not some shaggy motel either. Over all I still give this business a 5 star. I plan to return - hoping for the same room or at least requesting it, including the grill outside I plan to use it. I have No complains. Worth every penny I spent here. Thanks for being an affordable place and close to all venues. See you soon!!!

    So, hubby and I booked this place for our 9 year wedding anniversary. After scouring the reviews and photos of PI, it seemed like this would be a great place (our usual place was booked). When we arrived, we were told that the elevators were not working. Given the comments by the other guests checking in of, "The elevators are still down", this seemed to not be a new issue. The front desk staff seemed to care less about us. Their attitudes were meh. The women weren't really too friendly, smiling or inviting. The room was clean. I will say that. Everything was clean. I have OCD when it comes to hotel rooms being in tip-top shape, so cleanliness is VERY important to me. We brought food. I was under the impression that our kitchen area would be bigger. I also thought that we'd have plates and cutlery. Nope. We did have a microwave though. There was also a small coffee maker (which we didn't use) on top of the microwave. I asked the maid for some cutlery and she was extremely accommodating. Both maids were very, very sweet. They even left our towels in a heart shape. The bathroom area is TINY with a dim light. Where is a woman to pluck her eyebrows?? I had to use my compact and do so on the little patio outside. :) The shower has very low water pressure. Also, there is no iron in the room. The pool area is really nice though. A+! It is heated. The area has lounge chairs. And they are mowing the lawn as I type this. As for the beds, they are soft as f*ck. I wasn't happy about that. The mattresses seem old and sunken in. So, all in all, the place is clean and well-kept. I LOVE the koi fish out in the front! If you don't mind a soft, sunken in mattress, and TINY vanity area, this place is for you!

    Sign out front!!! Best place to stay!! Clean!!

    We will be staying here every year as we travel to Cape May. We got engaged, on the beach Everything from the beach access, to the easy parking, rooms were perfect, the court yard was very well kept, and beautiful.. lots to do. The balcony was a huge plus, we were on 2nd floor with a beach view, also the court yard view. The pool was cleaned every day, and very accommodating for several couples to hang out in. Also a fairly large kiddy pool!! We stayed in E1, and it was perfect! Clean CLEAN Clean!!! Can't wait to stay again. We will not be trying any other hotels, because the Periwinkle was PERFECT!!

    Very clean and quiet rooms. Location is hard to beat- right across from beach and close to shopping. They also provided golf cart shuttle service around town- great bonus!

    Ocean front/view whatever you want to call it so they can charge you top dollars
    Alona Y.

    What a horrible hotel. No idea how they got the good reviews, paid for it?? Room is under basic. Ocean view is some kind of a joke, don't bother paying more. I'll post a pic so you can see. Basically most of the rooms have some kind of pathetic 'view' of the ocean so why paying top dollars. If you call for water bottles you get a very angry answer. If you ask to park an extra car you get an angry refusal - park it on the street! The towels that are folded nicely- stink! The swimming pool closes at 8pm! When it's Summer and completely light and warm outside. Save your money and go somewhere else.

I've stayed at their Diamond Beach location, but this was my first time here. Let me mention the most enjoyable employees first. Chet was at the Front Desk when I checked out. He was by far the most friendly person I interacted with at the front desk. Some of the females were a bit...... unfriendly. If you chose to work in a customer service position it's probably best to have a sunny disposition. I think Cape May needs to address that. Tarik/Tajik? He was the young men who helped EVERYBODY get their chairs and umbrellas to the beach. He was WORKING! Yet, he always remained pleasant. And lastly, the gentleman driving the shuttle was very pleasant. He picked us up/dropped us off about 4 times. He was also servicing the Mahalo (and Icona resort) so he had his work cut out for him! We REALLY appreciated him as it was pouring one night and he came to pick us up and bring us back to the hotel. That amenity is CLUTCH! Overall, it's a nice hotel. Clean, a beautiful small bathroom, a cute little kitchen area, a small pool, and parking. Somebody mentioned the room was small, but to me it was a decent size. The balcony however, now THAT was small. Just enough room for the 2 of us to sit out there side by side and chill. I did see larger balconies out by the pool (facing the beach) so I guess you get what you pay for (larger room perhaps; suite). The AC however, is loud. It's not a window unit, but one of those wall units. I'm glad I brought my earplugs, otherwise I probably wouldn't have slept. And speaking of sleep, the bed is not what I am used to when I visit a hotel; especially a higher end boutique hotel. It was uncomfortable to me. My partner however, had no problem sleeping and did not feel it was uncomfortable. So.... roll the dice. The pool is tiny. Or shall I say, smaller than the size you will expect it to be. But it works. I chilled in the pool for 3 days. It's a good spot to people watch and break from the sand of the beach. And once we parked, we didn't have to move the car. Cape May is very pedestrian friendly. We walked and rode bikes every where we went. I love it. It was a great getaway. Check it out.

There's no front desk -- everything is handled by text -- but the staff was quick to respond and very helpful throughout our stay, even though we didn't have any issues. Our room (201) was large, clean, and nicely designed, with a full (albeit abbreviateD) kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, and plenty of space to hang out. The balcony had a beautiful view of the sunset and was one of our favorite parts of the stay. One parking space is included and it's a very easy walk to either the beach or town for shopping or food. It's probably (definitely) on the higher end price-wise during the summer, but for a fall weekend, it was ideal: quiet, comfortable, and close to everything.

I also enjoyed the workout mats in room to continue exercise away from home. The heated salt water pool even in early May felt so nice. Wonderful relaxing atmosphere. The fire pits were also relaxing and easy to use. Lokal is steps away from the beach which is fantastic. Would love to visit during peak season to use the provided beach tags and service available. It is also close to many bars and restaurants that are walkable. We really enjoyed our stay here for the perfect Mom and Dad getaway!

The star was the Blueberry Stuffed French Toast casserole - like OMG insanely delicious!!! I kind of had three servings! Many other perfect choices too, like English muffins, fruit, yogurt, granola).

IMO, a good trade off. Very pleased with this choice. We called for an extra blanket and it was delivered in under 5 minutes. Oh, a parking space, beach chairs and towels come with the room, too! Rocking chairs out front, tables and chairs out back let you enjoy some outdoor space - and the pool of course! Very nicely (and thoughtfully) laid out! Note: they have several room types. We chose #4 - king bed, family suite, no pets. But some have full kitchens, some allow pets, various bed sizes, etc. Certainly a room style for everyone.
