"We had a wonderful stay at Periwinkle Inn. Gail, the innkeeper, was very helpful and communicative. She upgraded us before our arrival from a queen to a king due to availability. Our room was spacious, had an updated en suite bathroom, and was very comfortable. The location in town is unbeatable. If you are expecting a small inn in a historic part of town (e.g., road noise is common in these types of buildings and they have character), then you'll have a 5/5 stay!"
