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.

The owners were very kind and helpful when it came to parking and also recommending things to do in the area. The room was clean and had everything I needed and it was quiet. 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 !
