Amazing place to stay, great location, staff were super friendly, and the owner was very nice, sharing ways to make our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended the Rum Runner Inn!
Carley, 1-night trip

8/10 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.
ellen, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!

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 Excellent

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!

Great downtown location

Perfect location for our weekend in Lunenburg. Close to restaurants, shops and the Opera House. Sparkling clean with all the conveniences.
Michael, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The biggest shortcoming is the lack of parking. There is none - only on-street parking which is very congested. It made for a difficult arrival as we had to park some distance away (up a very steep hill) and carry our luggage back to the facility
Ken, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

We enjoyed our stay at the Rum Runner Inn in L Lunenberg. The rooms were very clean and we had all the amenities is necessary for a one night stay in the village. Staff was very friendly and the owner Tom was very welcomingwas a delight as well. My only complaint would be the parking issue as we had to park further away from the destination for the free parking, but it was easy to deal with after the tourist have left the village for the evening. In my opinion I would go back at any time as the rum runner was a delight stay at.

Beautiful room 5 overlooking the waterfront. Met the owner who was fantastic and gave us lots of tips. Would definitely return
Ernie, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

This was a nice place in a great location. View was awesome just wish the deck flooring was updated, it made the place feel a bit neglected and windows on deck doors cleaned would have upped my rating. Nice otherwise but that would be my best advise!
Deanna, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

1. Second floor room no elevator. Disabled senior had to climb stairs. Her senior husband had to carry suitcases up stairs. 2. Unable to unpack. No drawers, shelves, hangers or closets. 3. No shades or curtains for south facing windows or skylights.
