Our room had a picture postcard view of the harbor in Lunenburg and a kitchen. Furnishings are a little dated but comfortable nonetheless. The convenience of the restaurant downstairs with outdoor dining was great and the food good. We would stay here again.

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.

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.

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.
