“This inn strikes a remarkable balance, particularly for its value; the breakfast alone, especially a perfectly prepared Eggs Benedict or Eggs Royale, makes a return visit tempting. Rooms, while varied, consistently feel comfortable and clean, with attentive staff and ample parking adding to the practical advantages of a stay here.”
