“This establishment makes a strong case for a stopover, particularly for those traveling north or south. The rooms themselves feel thoughtfully appointed, clean and quiet, with beds that promise a restful night. It's clear that the kitchen plays a starring role, turning out generously portioned, well-executed meals that represent excellent value.”
