Convenient walk to Taupo and around the corner from local conveniences. There is a Lake view in that you can see the lake just about over the buildings across the road but not what I'd call a selling point. Experience was fine.

For the price this was a great place to stay- bang for buck. Staff were over accomodating and super friendly. I travelled with mum and forgot to ask for the sofa bed too. We asked for sheets to make it upourselves but they insisted that they make it up for us and did. Great spot, close access to everthing but in a quieter part of town. Gave the real holiday vibe.
