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.

Disappointed

The location was amazing. Couldn’t have been better. But they gave us the room under the restaurant & there was a 6-7 ft broken lobster tank outside on our porch. I believe I was charged more than the price listed by Hotel.com

A very large room with unbelievable views over the harbour. Very friendly and helpful staff. The downide was primarily the furniture - the sofa has seen much better life and is niow in a poor state and the bed was small with an old mattress.

Great location and views from the room. The room is spacious with a sitting area with TV that looks out to the water. There’s a kitchen and dining area as well. Parking is on street wherever you can find a spot. We didn’t have an issue finding a spot.
