8/10 Good
"Overall a great stay. It’s right in downtown Wabasha which puts you in walking distance to great shops and the National Eagle Center. Unfortunate that apartments are going up right next door. We had some trouble checking in as the door code was not working. It took us about 25 minutes to reach the host but once we did she was great and helped us get right in. It’s a cute place. Would recommend."

Sunset Motel

10/10 Excellent
"We love staying at this little motel! We visit Lake City often to see family, and since we sometimes travel with our dogs, we always book this pet-friendly property. The rooms are always very clean, and we really appreciate the updated flooring. Check-in and check-out are quick and easy, which means we can head straight to our family when we arrive and settle into our room later without any hassle. During our most recent stay, it was incredibly hot outside, but the air conditioning in our room worked amazingly well. I never thought I'd say an air conditioner was too cold, but this one came pretty close! We're so grateful to have a reliable, comfortable place to stay whenever we make our trips to Lake City. It's become our go-to choice, and we look forward to staying here again."

10/10 Excellent
"A great space for our girls weekend! The location and shopping were amazing, and there was plenty of parking and room for everyone. The kitchen was well stocked, and the large dining table was great for playing games and meal times, Huge outdoor space with large deck and a gas grill was great. The beach was a little further away than excepted, but close enough to walk and go to the beach to float. The beds and pillows were comfortable, and there were plenty of plug ins for fans, etc. We would definitely go back! Host was great at communicating too."
