Nobody here when I arrived. Just a note stuck on the door for me to call a number provided. Had to carry bags upstairs through an unlocked door to my room, that had the key in the door! Restaurant not open. Parking meters outside so I have to move car by 10am! Room very hot and remote control for heater has dead batteries. The man on the phone was very nice and he has text replies to all my questions but I was expecting a normal check in, even though it's not the height of season. I was here around 5 so it wasn't a late check in.

This was our first visit to Lunenberg and though it was out of season we enjoyed our visit immensely, Our room had a great view of harbour, was spacious, clean and felt very homey. Our meal at the Inn was delicious. I would recommend the Dockside Inn.
