Beautiful sta, Clean, Simple and affordable!

This beautiful remodel in process is a wonderful spot on Lake Pepin that didn’t break the bank. The owners were super kind and we think they’ve done a nice job with this Motel rehab! We are definitely going to stay again. Thanks to Doug, his wife and the Sunset Motel!!

Beautiful view of sunrise and sunset. Room was decorated nice and cute details. Would be nice to have a table in the room. The air stopped working the last night and the sink could use repair. Overall though, it was comfortable for a couple nights and convenient to everything. Friendly and easy access. Let us have a late check out as well. Pet friendly a bonus and pool was nice.

Nice!

Really nice place, with a nice view of the lake. The walls are pretty thin and our neighbors were banging doors late into the evening, but we would definitely stay again.

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.

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.

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.
