Hotel Impossible is a reality show that focuses on internationally renowned hotel expert, Anthony Melchiorri, who works with hotels in need of a makeover to improve their ratings and financial success. In season two, episode seven, Anthony visits the Periwinkle Inn in Cape May, New Jersey, to help the owners improve the hotel's performance.

The Periwinkle Inn is a historic beachfront hotel that has been in operation for over 100 years. The current owners, a husband and wife team, have been running the hotel for the past nine years, but they have struggled with maintaining the property's historic charm while also updating it to appeal to modern guests. Anthony arrives on the scene to evaluate the hotel's current state and offer his expertise.

Upon arriving, Anthony immediately notices that the exterior of the hotel needs attention. The paint is chipping, the shutters are broken, and the overall appearance is not inviting. Anthony also notes that the hotel's website is outdated and does not accurately represent the hotel's offerings. The lobby is small and cramped, and the furniture is outdated and uncomfortable.

As Anthony makes his way through the hotel, he discovers that the rooms are lacking in amenities and are not up to par with the competition. The linens are outdated, the furniture is old, and the bathrooms are uninviting. Anthony also notes that the hotel lacks onsite amenities such as a bar or restaurant, which is a major drawback for guests who want to stay onsite and enjoy the beachfront location.

Anthony meets with the owners to discuss his findings and provide recommendations. He suggests that they update the exterior of the hotel, including new paint, repaired shutters, and updated landscaping. He also recommends that they update the hotel's website to accurately portray the hotel's offerings. Anthony advises the owners to update the lobby with new furniture and artwork and to create more comfortable seating areas for guests.

Moving to the guest rooms, Anthony suggests that the owners upgrade the linens, furniture, and bathrooms to create a more inviting atmosphere for guests. He also recommends that they install new air conditioning units, as the current units are outdated and noisy. Anthony encourages the owners to create onsite amenities such as a bar or restaurant to provide guests with a convenient place to relax and enjoy their stay.

Throughout the episode, we see the owners working to implement Anthony's recommendations. They update the exterior of the hotel by repainting it, repairing the shutters, and updating the landscaping. They create a new website that accurately showcases the hotel's offerings, and they update the lobby with new furniture and artwork. The owners also work to update the guest rooms, including new linens, furniture, and updated bathrooms. They install new air conditioning units and work to create onsite amenities such as a bar and restaurant.

In the end, Anthony returns to the Periwinkle Inn to see the finished renovations. He is pleased with the improvements and notes that the hotel has a much more inviting atmosphere. The new exterior is much more welcoming, and the updated lobby and guest rooms create a comfortable and inviting space for guests. The addition of a bar and restaurant is also a major improvement that will help the hotel compete with other beachfront hotels in the area.

The Periwinkle Inn's owners were struggling with maintaining the hotel's historic charm while also updating it to appeal to modern guests.
