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."
