Overpriced, overrated

Review of Rum Runner Inn
2.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Sep 5, 2020via mobile
This inn is over priced and dated. It should be no more than $80/night.

The owner is friendly and it’s fairly clean, but the room smelled of must and the air exchange system runs constantly and is so noisy it’s difficult to sleep. The furniture is old and worn.

The sun room is not private and essentially useless.

It is centrally located in Lunenburg, but Lunenburg is small, so everything is centrally located.

We had a very enjoyable one night stay at the Rum Runner Inn!! Our room was spacious, very clean and very comfortable and offered the best view of the harbour!! We very much enjoyed the lovely veranda off of our room. Very convenient parking in a lot on the waterfront directly behind the Inn with easy access to the entrance. The owner welcomes you personally and has taken all of the precautions with Covid-19! So many beautiful restaurants within walking distance that one day and night just wasn't enough!! We look forward to our next visit to Lunenburg and for certain we will be staying at The Rum Runner Inn!!

Room tip: Oceanfront Executive King room with Veranda #5 offers the best view!

Our stay at RumRunner Inn could not have been better. Our oceanfront veranda suite offered the perfect view of Lunenburg Harbour, we watched the Bluenose sail out to sea from our deck; quintessential Nova Scotia at its absolute finest. We highly recommend this as a first choice hotel in Lunenburg and a special thank you to our host, Tim Lekhi for making our stay so enjoyable!

We had a fantastic time staying here. The room was clean... the bed was unbelievably comfortable and the walk out veranda looking over the water was spectacular. It was a great stay and we would recommend it to anyone and come back ourselves for sure!!!

We were quite happy with the location, comfort and cleanliness of the Inn.
It was very relaxing to sit on the deck & overlook the Harbour & the Bluenose while the sun set.
The Inn is within walking distance to many restaurants and the perfect spot to travel to Mahone Bay, Chester, Peggy's Cove, Blue Rocks and many more South Shore sites.

The best part was definitely the harbour view, however, the room was large and very comfortable. We stayed on the main floor and had an open patio deck. It was the best! The owner greeted us, respecting social distancing, and was very pleasant.
