Lovely location. The lady in the evening when we checked in was super friendly and helpful. Not so much the man when we checked out the next day. Room was nice and clean, although the bathroom light stopped working and the sink was slightly blocked. Nice place, I would probably stay again.

This hotel is very well managed. It is centrally located on the waterfront with easy access to all the activities and restaurants of Lunenburg. It has some great views of the bay!! The room we stayed in had an additional sunroom overlooking the bay. All around a great place to stay! Would certainly stay here again. Robert Philadelphia

The hotel is very well situated with a view of the bay from our balcony but it was a bit pricey for the quality of the room

A very nice historic style building on the main street of Lunenburg. Walking access to the museums and harbor though down and up steep hills. The lack of parking could be a problem if not managed well Staff very helpful with suggestions

We loved the location and the veranda where we sat with a drink after dinner watching the harbor and people watching. A whimsical place with super friendly people. The room was also very nice with a very comfortable bed and good pillows which are hard to find. I’d return in a heartbeat,

The location of this hotel is perfect. Couldn’t be better. Harbour view and right in the Main Street in the thick of things. Large room with comfortable bed and a huge balcony!

Our room and the check-in area were very clean and the staff was friendly. We had a lovely view of the harbor, the Bluenose II, and the horse drawn carriages on Bluenose Drive from an enclosed sunroom off our bedroom. Very pleasant and many good restaurants, shops, and the waterfront within easy walking distance.

Great location….can walk to all attractions, restaurants etc. Parking can be difficult until 4pm when day visitors leave. No elevator but staff will help with luggage. Lovely atmosphere with common balcony overlooking the harbour and Bluenose II.

We loved our overnight stay at RumRunner. The room was super clean, comfortable, with special touches that made you feel welcome. It has a communal balcony that with a view of the harbor where you can have some quiet time with a glass of wine or a cup of coffee. The staff was very friendly and was there to greet us even though we arrived somewhat late. We would be happy to return!

We loved our stay at the Rum Runner Inn. We stayed in the studio loft room which was very nice with a window with a harbor view. The room was full of light (they provided eyeshades for night) with a microwave, refrigerator, and coffee maker. The shower was AMAZING—one of the best I’ve seen in a hotel. The only downside and I don’t necessarily think I can blame Rum Runner is the lack of parking in Lunenburg—it was a nightmare. We would definitely stay at Rum Runner again, but would just pay the $25 to park in the harbor parking lot rather than waste time driving around looking for a space.

The room was great, the staff is wonderful. Parking can be an issue as it is all On street parking. However it opened up quickly. The porch room needs some work. Window handles broken! Plus the room in the hot summer is difficult to use.
