Cute little motel right off the main road. Stayed on a Saturday night & it was quiet! It's a bit rustic/a bit updated, a bit mid-century & it works. It's as charming as the town it's set in.

Great view of Lake Pepin & Mississippi River. Hotel has lawn chairs to watch the wide riverfront view. We didn't use the outdoor pool, but several guests without any issues. We ate dinner at Big Bear pizza and breakfast at Heidi's Hugga-Mugga cafe. We went to the city's dog-park with Rocky and visited the beach & fountains by the marina.

Sunset Motel was clean and nicely decorated. The location was perfect for the activities we came to do in Lake City. Thanks for the great communication! The only negative with the room was the blinds being too long to completely close and block out the light from the outdoor lighting fixture outside our door. Perhaps adding curtains would help darken the room for sleeping.
