10/10 Exceptional

From the moment we arrived, the inn was top notch! They showed us to our room and showed us the lovely balcony that overlooked the bay and encouraged us to use it- we did! The room was spacious, clean and quiet. The location was right in the middle of lovely Lunenburg. So glad we booked here!

JOBY, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Beautiful view from honeymoon king room. Nice bed. Real glassware. Challenges were carrying bags up narrow stairs to second floor and no fan in bathroom.
Thomas, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We absolutely loved room #18! So bright with a huge skylight that opens out into the air, overlooking the water and the quaint Lunenburg buildings. From start to finish it was most enjoyable and we enjoyed meeting Tim who happily welcomed us to the property.
Gorgeous skylight!
