Excellent location for exploring Lunenburg. This is an older building and establishment. This means more dated room furnishings, but also big room size. No micro suites here. The ocean view was great and staff very helpful. The restaurant below had good breakfast options and reasonable prices.

Our room was a bit dated but not a big deal at all. It was very clean and great view of Front Harbour of Lunenburg. Had a great breakfast and supper at the restaurant downstairs with friendly and helpful staff.

6/10 Okay

The property was certainly unique and the view was spectacular. The check-in procedure was old-school (all paper/pencil) and done by the same employee trying to seat people at the busy restaurant so the process was a bit harried. They have done a good job with the hotel rooms- they are older of course, but cute. Would have preferred a bit cleaner and the mattress was a simple spring mattress. There is no parking for the hotel, so paid for parking at the museum until later in the evening when we could find street parking.

We stayed in room one which is a grossness room. It is very spacious with a full kitchen and two queen beds. Lovely sitting area with beautiful views of the bay. Had sofas and chairs, a dining table, etc. The place is dated however it is clean. It was very quiet. Bedroom are OK and we had a good night sleep. We did not eat there except for using the deck and balcony overlooking the bay, which was lovely and had umbrellas for shade.Pricey for what you get however everything there is pricey.
