Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a superb location, right across from the harbor side and close to many restaurants. The rooms were clean and comfy, offering a fantastic view of the waterfront. The service was exceptionally friendly and helpful. However, the small bathroom and noisy portable air conditioner were minor drawbacks.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel! The stunning balcony overlooking the waterfront was a major highlight, though the view was not full waterfront. The king-size bed was super comfy and the covered balcony provided a beautiful setting. The location was perfect right in the heart of Lunenburg with plenty of adjacent restaurants, but a bit on the overpriced side for the overall experience.
My stay at the hotel was delightful overall. The room had a closed-in deck with huge windows that I really enjoyed, especially because the weather was a bit chilly. It was very clean and had all the amenities I could want, although the wear and tear in the room was not accurately represented in the online pictures. The view of the harbor front was a nice touch.
The hotel offers a cozy and plush room with an enclosed balcony providing an amazing view of the harbor, although the dining experience was disappointing with limited breakfast options. The service was extremely helpful and welcoming, while the location is perfect for exploring Lunenberg. The facilities are well-maintained, and overall, the hotel provides good value for money.
I had a delightful stay at this hotel right by the harbor. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-appointed, with fantastic views over the harbor and a lovely veranda to relax on. The service was exceptional, with the staff being very helpful and accommodating throughout my stay. The location was superb, making it easy to explore the shops, waterfront, and historic sites in town. The dining experience was pleasant, and the facilities were top-notch. However, it was disappointing that the hotel was fully booked months in advance.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was great, right in the center of town with easy access to restaurants and attractions. The rooms were decent but had some wear and tear issues, and the portable air conditioner was quite noisy. The service, especially for mobility-challenged guests, was incredibly nice and helpful. However, the dining experience at the on-site restaurant was not included and could be improved with more options.
