The owners were friendly and nice and very helpful. The room we had was great very quiet. Lunenburg is a very small town with plenty to see but of course we were two streets off of the main harbour so fantastic right across the street from a really great restaurant. Go check out the Maritime museum. And the blue nose.

Great location- there’s a delicious sushi shop and a cafe with great coffee and pastries that you can access in the hotel. Highly recommend staying here!

The proprietors Mr. and Mrs. Kim were incredibly helpful particularly in arranging a parking spot so that my wife, with her cane, did not have to walk any distance! Also when I asked about TV service they altered the reception from an excellent streaming arrangement to a local service where my desired programming was available !
