Our go-to spot in Lunenburg! Great hospitality and amenities. The sushi restaurant that connects through the lobby next door is awesome! We’ll be back!
Wonderful location and upkept Inn. Beds were very comfortable and the staff was very helpful and courteous. Ambiance of the Inn was appropriate for this sea-faring quaint town!
This is an historic location and very well maintained. The community has many beautiful and historic homes. Nice places to eat and drink. We would stay there again.
Great location. Comfortable large rooms. A nice sitting area if want outside the rooms or chairs outside in front on nice days. Not fancy but clean and comfortable.
My room was spacious and clean, and the bed was really comfortable. But the best part of my stay was the warm and welcoming experience from owners Michael and Rita. They offered a really friendly welcome that set the tone for a wonderful stay!

Loved the staff . Clean rooms close to the waterfront
The staff was very acommodating, helpful and friendly! The location made walking to see the sights in Lunenburg easy. And... there's a delicious bakery with excellent fresh croissants and lattes adjoining the Inn.
Nice hotel and great location. Staff were friendly and helpful. Parking was difficult to find though.
Conditioner should be available besides just shampoo.
Checking in was both smooth & pleasant.
Room was clean, comfortable & well appointed.
Room & washroom amenities were more than adequate.
Location is fantastic.
Many good restaurants just steps away from the hotel. Sushi by the Cove which is attached to the hotel has an excellent Japanese menu.
Highly recommended!
