Family vacation traveling with 2 adult children. Excellent location. The only negnative issue was the bathroom sink and shower water had a strong sulfur oder. This was the only time we experienced this. Right on the lake.

Great location for travelling around the ring road. Nice quiet room overlooking the lake. Breakfast was good too. We did get a sulphur type smell in the shower room but it wasn't bad enough to complain about.
