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.

Loved Lunenburg

Our stay was good. There was an issue with the air conditioning in our room. We were upgraded to a suite because there were no standard rooms available. We were close to the harbour and restaurants.

We did not find anything unique about the property. It could’ve been a Marriott somewhere but not quite as nice. The shower was quite minuscule and had the plastic stuff had silicon caulking repaired with something black - maybe mold. The sink didn’t turn off properly.

Excellent location and parking is basically on the street. Cute room with common sitting room area and many collectibles relevant to the area on each floor. Very interesting and cosy. Nice restaurants within walking distance. Harbour and homes to see all lose.

A great location but a well worn property in need of updating. Our room had an iron burn in the entranceway carpet poorly covered by a small area rug.

Great location and great staff

Fabulous location, walkable to all attractions. Room is somewhat standard in an aged building but practically renovated. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Stay here if you want the convenience when exploring.
