“What strikes me most is the dedication to guest comfort; little touches like quality toiletries and well-equipped rooms make a difference. The virtual check-in seems efficient, and the responsiveness of the owners suggests a personal touch uncommon for a smaller inn; however, train noise could be a problem for some. For travelers seeking a reasonably priced stay with attentive service, this looks like a solid choice.”
