Very friendly staff, a lovely view out over the lake and although close to bus stops and backpackers, very quiet. A microwave would have been great to reheat meals but otherwise well equiped and clean. Close to everything including the supermarket, cafes and Dark Sky. It was a very relaxing 2 nights there.
