Handy location
It was a great location. No complaints or concerns, room was small which we knew when we booked. Bathroom is particularly small with no counterspace. We received numerous reminder emails before arrival regarding the focus on being a quiet hotel, no noise. We were a couple but definitely not suitable for children with this focus.

Historic old town charm
Lunenberg is a quaint city. The hotel is in the middle of old town so easy to walk to all the little shops. Most of the restaurants seemed to specialize in fried foods but… The hotel is an a historic building. It is clean and the desk person was great. The bed was a bit firm. This is not a luxury hotel but if you aren’t looking for that then this place is great.

Fabulous location. The room we occupied had a view of the harbour and Bluenose II was at anchor. The property could use some repair as many of the windows were screwed shut and no screens on the ones we could open. The stairs to the rooms are steep and narrow. Overall the view and location made up for any shortfalls.

Fabulous fun quaint motel, but bring 10$ in Canadian coins (loonies and toonies, not kidding) for meters from 10am-5pm. $8 for 4 hours if you can’t find side street free parking. Loved our room and Dockside restaurant.
