"We live in Sandusky, Ohio and chose this property for the night before the wedding so I could spend the evening with my best friend and then my new Husband and I stayed there on our wedding night. It was the perfect place for such a special occasion.It was spotless, comfortable, and we felt completely safe throughout our stay. Everything exceeded our expectations, and it made our wedding weekend even more memorable. We truly appreciated the welcoming atmosphere and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a clean, safe, and comfortable place to stay!"

Downtown Lakeview Rooftop Retreat-walk everywhere!

10/10 Excellent

"If you are looking for an extremely clean, well kept, and great location this is a wonderful choice. Right in the heart of the downtown area walking distance to restaurants and bars. Also, great area for a morning run or walk. The roof top patio was pretty with a nice view. Only issue is if you don’t like stairs. We would definitely stay again. Only issue is that if we brought my mother she wouldn’t be able to do all the stairs. Otherwise, the unit was amazing."
