Clean room, open the window for fresh air off the lake. Thought it would be noisy on the Main Street but very quiet. Amazing views of the lake & the snow covered mountains.

I was delighted with an upgrade to a lake view room. The bed was very comfortable. The lift was close to my room and was noisy, but fortunately not too late. I bought food in town for my meal at a wonderful cafe - Kefi, Horomatangi Street, Taupo. Highly recommended.
