What happened after Hotel Impossible?

Periwinkle Inn is a beachfront hotel at 1039 Beach Ave in Cape May, New Jersey, that Hotel Impossible (Travel Channel) featured in the episode that aired 2013-01-28 (S2E7). The inn's own website, checked 2026-09-09, described itself as "A Luxury Cape May Beachfront Hotel" and listed rooms, specials, events, a photo gallery, and a Cape May history section, along with an online booking tool. Yelp's listing for the inn, updated in June 2026, showed 85 reviews and 84 photos, and listed operating hours of 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.

Tripadvisor ranked the property 26th of 37 Cape May hotels with a 3-of-5 rating across 443 traveler reviews, and travel-fare site Momondo listed nightly rates starting from $210, with pricing shown as of 2026-08-02. Tripstodiscover.com had separately named the inn one of eight most romantic hotels in New Jersey, according to a mention picked up in the review aggregation. Google Places listed the business as operational under the "Periwinkle Inn" name at the same Beach Avenue address referenced in the episode. None of the sources reviewed described a closure, sale, or relocation at the property since the 2013 television appearance; the 2026-dated Yelp activity and Momondo pricing were the most recent dated signals found for the same business name and address shown at the time of filming.
