Our room was noisy as we were located right beside the air conditioning unit for the whole building. But our view out to the harbour with the Bluenose II in dock made up for any short comings. It is a good offering for a low budget vacation.

Large room with expansive view of the harbor was worth the many stairs to get up to the room.

This Inn was supposed to be the highlight of our trip. Unfortunately other than the view it was extremely disappointing. The room smelled musty, the towels were washed but need to be replaced as they were not clean. The bed was totally unacceptable. The headboard and frame need to be updated as you could not move without waking the person next to you. The bed was Extremely uncomfortable and not acceptable to sleep on. We did not get any sleep. Check in was just hand you the key and that was it no explanation on the restaurant or Inn. You also need to plan on parking as this is an extremely busing area and the Inn has no parking you are on your own. We had to park two blocks away and there is no option to pull up and drop bags.

Amazing view! I could literally live in this room. Originally booked a room with one king bed was given a huge room with 2 beds full kitchen,table and living room! Very clean and friendly staff! We had a view of the harbor and the Bluenose!

Great location and view. Older building and decor, but the room was clean. Clean towels supplied daily. Coffee maker with pods supplied. Additional pods were given on seconded day, but dirty cups and spoons were not cleaned or replaced. Nightly rate is on the high side, but I guess your paying for the location and the view.

Liked: Cleanliness
Positives: The room was clean, spacious, in an excellent location with a great view. You could walk to shops, restaurants, museums and activities. I was VERY excited to stay here! Negatives: This town is WAY overcrowded with tourists during summer months, and the property has NO PARKING. 😲 That was bad news! We had to wait 45 minutes for a space to open in the $20/day lot some distance away, then we hauled our bags up. The crowds die down after 5:30 and parking opens up, but the restaurants, shops and museums all close early, too. Although I loved the room, the bed was really uncomfortable. The matress was super hard. I tried 3 bed pillows and 2 couch pillows and they all hurt my neck so badly, I ended up using a bath towel for a pillow. We tried to check out early, as did another guest. No one was at the desk. The doors were locked to the office. No one answered the phone. We were strangers to the peopke in the other room, but we were all collectively stumped as to what to do. We all decided to just leave our keys in our doors since they didn't even have a key drop box. It was odd. We were happy to get out of Lunenburg.

The property was very clean and the view was amazing! Spacious room and newly renovated bathroom. Piles of restaurants within walking distance and located right on the Harbour. Could not beat the location. The only downside was that the listing said there was free offsite parking. This was true between 5 pm to 10 am only, otherwise you had to feed the meter, which in our case only cost $5. It was totally worth renting and we'd definitely return.
