Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff very friendly and helpful leading up to and during stay. Great location, comfortable beds, clean bathroom. Fridge in room. Great location right on the harbor and near restaurants. While I understand it is historical, the building could use some updates in the outer back facade, the hallways and the bathrooms. Parking in high season would be difficult. We were okay in september

It was a great stay. The room could use an update but it was still nice and clean
The location was great; our room was clean and roomy. The bathroom functioned well for a small space. We had use of the veranda which gave us opportunity to visit with others and enjoy the great view of the wharf.
Our room was new and beautiful with a fireplace and great seating area, as well as comfortable beds. Their restaurant has deck and indoor seating with beautiful harbour views and the food was delicious. We loved it!
Parking anywhere is a nightmare. Finally found a parking lot down by the wharf, but no back access to the Inn. Parking at the lot was $20 ever time we left to travel somewhere. View from room was excellent!
The Rum Runner Inn is conveniently located on the Main Street of Lunenberg near all the shopping, restaurants and waterfront activities. The room was comfortable although the bathroom products seemed a bit institutional. The veranda in the back of building is a lovely place to drink coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening.
This is an older quaint hotel that has had some upgrades. Not fancy. Limited hotels in Lunenberg and this one provides good accommodation in a very central location.
Such a fabulous location overlooking the harbour of Lunenburg. Property is quaint and comfortable. Staff were enthusiastic and helpful. Quiet and homey.
