"Right on the lake in town, I liked Absoloot for its large, fully equipped second-floor kitchen with great views so you can cook to save money, plus spacious common rooms with TVs, board games, a book exchange, and video game consoles. Dorm beds include phone-charging ports, privacy curtains, and reading lights at each bed, with under-the-bed lockers; the mattresses are decent, and there’s also a sizable five-person private room if you’re traveling with family." - Matthew Kepnes
