For the price it was dumpy, and no breakfast. I feel we could get better value somewhere else. It was clean and good location, but everything in Lunenburg I feel is within walking distance.

Michael was really helpful in facilitating our late arrival, helping with bags to the room, providing a good recommendation for parking, and providing a good recommendation for breakfast. Later, he also provided a good recommendation for lunch and for a beach/hiking location.

The hotel was very comfortable and quiet. The room was clean and the hotel as well. The owners were very nice and helpful. Located on the main road with many restaurants and shops. The harbour was a block away. The room was smallish but perfectly fine. The walls are a little thin so we could hear the guests in the room beside us. It wasn’t a real problem however. There is an elevator for use to the 3rd floor. Street parking only. We were not disappointed.

Excellent stay and extremely well located next to the waterfront and in very close proximity to the restaurants. Ideal for tourists and those from away. Staff/owners were wonderful and very welcoming and helpful at check in with the baggage and parking. Nice touch and not that common these days. Plumbing/AC/kingbed/flatscreen worked to specifications. We certainly recommend a stay.

Great spot right in the middle of Lunenberg. Great large rooms, like an apartment! It’s not super modern or fancy but clean and comfortable. Perfect for our stay.
