Nice hotel in the heart of Lunenburg. Close to everything. The staff very absolutely amazing. If you arrive early you have to find a paid parking spot on the street but you do not have to pay from 5pm to 10 am. The rooms are nice if not a little used. Amazing views of the bay. Will stay here again!

Great location that allows easy walking to all points in old town. The Inn is very clean; king beds are super comfortable. A large shared balcony overlooks the harbour; it provides a great spot to relax. Staff were friendly, welcoming, and shared helpful information about the community.

Pleasantly surprised by the room itself and the central location. Main part of town for shopping and dining. Tim was great with suggestions. We just wished we left more time for this town. Now we have reason to return.

We had such a wonderful stay in Lunenburg and the Rum Runner was the perfect hotel. The room was clean and had everything we needed, but better yet was the staff. They were so accommodating and helpful. We are already talking about rebooking for next year.

Our room with a balcony overlooking the Fisheries Museum and the harbour was a great experience. Comfortable and warm - walking distance to lots of great restaurants and the harbour front. Our host was extremely welcoming and we learned a lot about the area in speaking with him. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed 1 night on April 26 to celebrate my Birthday. Tim greeted us with a smile and was so helpful with anything we needed. The room was a nice size with a beautiful view. It was very clean! We only wish we could have stayed longer. We will definately be back. We would also like the mention we had great service at the restaurants in the area.

We stayed at the Rum Runner in November 2021. We arranged our stay with Tim and was greeted by him upon arrival. He was so hospitable and was so knowledgeable about the town, his recommendations added great memories to our time in Lunenburg. The location of the Inn is wonderful, right on the main street with all the shops and restaurants. The hotel rooms were spacious with a very comfortable bed. We had a gorgeous view with a cute patio to enjoy our coffee in the morning. When we visit Lunenburg again we will definitely stay at the Run Rummer Inn! Thanks again to Tim for everything!

This hotel is perfectly situated for exploring Lunnenburg. It’s directly behind the fishing museum with beautiful views of the harbour. Easy walking distance to all restaurants and sights. Our room (#5 I think) had a private balcony where you can enjoy a coffee or glass of wine. There was a bit of a damp feeling in our room - maybe just due to it’s proximity to the ocean. The front desk person, Alison, was very welcoming and helpful with restaurant suggestions and driving tips!
