The property offers a variety of room styles; some offer wonderful views of the harbor.
Did not meet all AAA rating requirements for viewports/peepholes in some guest rooms at time of last evaluation on 09/05/2016. Facilities, services, and décor characterize a mid-scale property.
Pros: Fantastic view of harbour from room. Excellent in house restaurant. Great staff.
Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great view of harbor. Nice deck. Refrigerator in room. Good location near restaurants, shops & museum.
Cons: Not very well insulated for sound, hallway noise & room next door. No ice machine available. No microwave. When sitting on our deck we could hear every word spoken by the next deck. Heating & cooling controlled seasonally by office.

Pros: Location is fantastic. This is a very nice little hotel. The bed was comfortable and room very pleasant. The attached restaurant is very good and we recommend dining there.
Cons: staff were unable to put aside their own issues for the sake of hospitality and greeting of guests. We had to stand by whilst the perforated paper towel was discussed by the officious lady manager and a disengaged staff member. The owner was nice but his staff need to understand that paying Guests shouldn't be ignored at the expense of housekeeping issues. Sad parrots in the main office.

Pros: Bed and pillows were great. Inn faced the harbor though our room faced a busy street. Assistance when we arrived. Close to activities in Luenenberg harbor area. Fisherman's Museum is across the street, as is Bluenose II dock. Carriage tours through Lunenberg's historic district are fun. Great restaurants in area with fantastic sea food. Wi Fi provided.
Cons: No sea view from room. Provided a roped in area on second floor balcony to see our share of harbor. Steep steps up to our room...Assistance with bags when arriving but no where to be seen when leaving. Limited parking. No breakfast. Took the room payment out of my account three days before our arrival. Seemed overpriced for area.

Pros: When we walked into our room we gasped with delight! Room 7 is the corner room with a balcony facing the water. It has the most spectacular view in all of Lunenburg! The room is spacious, bright, and very clean. We went to dine downstairs in the restaurant and each had the Masala. Out comes our Chef to greet us, and it is the same wonderful gentleman who showed us to our room! Such a personal touch that really spoke to us. We enjoyed our stay immensely, and highly recommend this lovely place. If you dine in the restaurant, please be sure to order the masala. It is simply superb!
Cons: Nothing! It is a lovely place!

Pros: Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Location is optimum.
Cons: Bed and pillows were uncomfortable. They had bad reviews on their restaurant, so didn't attempt to eat there. Also, they're conflicted on what they are, given the food listed on the menu. The balcony is 2/3's reserved for the rooms facing the water. This did not make it inviting.

Pros: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Rum Runner Inn. The property is located across the street from the water and has amazing views. The location is perfect for exploring all that Lunenburg has to offer. There is a shared veranda to relax and enjoy a view of the water for those who have rooms that face elsewhere. The room was clean and comfortable and the air conditioner worked well. The hotel owner, Tim Lekhi met us personally upon our arrival and checked in regularly to ensure we enjoyed our stay and to offer his personal assistance. We never had an opportunity to eat at the restaurant but the menu looked great and we look forward to trying it on our next visit!

Pros: Location couldn't be beat in Lunenburg. Had nice balcony on main floor (rooms up & restaurant down) overlooking docks right across from fisherman's museum. There were 2 rooms with doors directly to the balcony roped off from other occupants...would try to reserve those rooms....perhaps NO stairs up.
Cons: Old bldg required going up a steep flight of stairs to room and down a tight spiral staircase to get ice from their restaurant. Small fridge sat on a table. Light fixtures not attached properly.

Pros: The room was very nice and overlooked the harbor. We really enjoyed our own porch for people watching & looking at the harbor. No breakfast is included but there is a restaurant down the street. Customer Service is the motto of the owner & the staff.
Cons: Because of the location, stairs are a real issue. The rooms are up one flight of stairs from the street & the lobby. The restaurant is down a flight of stairs. The harbor is down two flights of stairs from the lobby.
