“This place clearly puts effort into its aesthetics, including some cool, cycling-themed art, and its location offers both easy access to town and a bit of peaceful separation. While some ongoing renovations are apparent, the attention to detail suggests a thoughtful approach. I think it's a worthwhile pick, especially given the option to bring your pet.”
