Booked rooms at Lane's for a conference that was held nearby. Susan and her staff were exceptionally well organized and accommodating. The rooms were very comfortable and well priced, the breakfast that was included in the room rate was more than anticipated, the pub has a good atmosphere, the live music was fun, and the restaurant was delicious. The building... More

Room was very spacious however the furnishings and finishes were very tired and shabby. The old hide-a-bed couch has seen better days. The carpet in the room and the flooring in the bathroom are showing their age (circa 1975?), however the tub seemed to be newer and the shower water pressure was excellent. The bed was okay, although we kept... More

what a nice surprise. This Inn has obviously had a lot of up-grades. The rooms, although staying true to the character of an old inn (exposed pipes, hardwood floors), have excellent mattresses and the bathroom was clean and modern. The room I had was very quiet and nicely dark - no nasty street-lights streaming through the drapes. the staff was... More

I was looking for a cozy place to stay in Liverpool and prefer to stay in B&B's or Inn's as often times, it is the best opportunity to meet the locals and learn about the community. Lanes Privateer Inn is just the spot! From the moment I arrived Susan was very welcoming and made me feel like part of the... More

This inn has beautiful character, excellent coffee and espresso, fantastic ambiance, a good restaurant, and the best complimentary breakfast anywhere. There is also a pub on site and open wireless along with a gourmet shop and bookstore. It is an excellent place to hang out and relax!

Found this place by chance when looking for a place to grab supper before a show at The Astor Theatre in Liverpool. We were driving by and saw that the dining room was open and thought we would give it a shot. Great ambiance and friendly, helpful service provided a wonderful first impression. The menu has a great variety and... More

Hotel was ok, you get what you pay for. It was clean and that is always my number 1 priority. Might need a bit of upkeep, new wall paper and carpet, but other than that it was fine. Beautiful spot, right on the river. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. I'd go back again.

Before we left for Nova Scotia we looked at the Lane's website and Trip Advisor. All the pictures of the rooms looked comfortable and clean. After a ten hour drive from the north part of the Province in heavy downpours, we were looking forward to our room for the night at Lane's. What we got was disappointing. Our room, while... More

The big garden by the river it's very nice. I like the restaurant area with a gourmet shop and the little library. Maybe a little bit overpriced... More
