“Wonderful Hotel!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I had the pleasure of booking a last minute trip to Lunenburg a couple weeks ago for my mom's 60th B'day - and it did not disappoint! The staff were amazing and managed to have available a gorgeous room with two queen beds featuring a sitting area with a pull out couch that comfortably allowed plenty of room for my mom, sister and I.

They also have a beautiful Aveda Spa onsite that graciously squeezed all 3 of us in for services on such short notice! The hotel staff were so accomodating and even had wine & champagne glasses set out for us in our room and a chocolate gift for my mom's birthday. The spa even gave her a little aveda gift at the end of her services! (As a hotel guest you also get 10% off spa services there!!)

The onsite restaurant (Tin Fish) was under renovation, so we ate across the street at the King's Plate, which was phenominal...$36 for a delicious 3 course meal...that was worth a return visit on another occassion! Though I would love to try the Hotel restaurant too once it's re-opened.

Downtown Lunenburg also offers a ton of unique little shops and specialty stores that we enjoyed wondering around in during the afternoon (most are only open Fri & Sat in the winter season).

The next day the hotel set out a lovley continental breakfast, which was included in the price of the room. It was in a comfortable room with club chairs and casual dining tables with lots of breakfast choices.

I have already spread the word to friends and family and I'm planning a return visit in the Spring and Fall!

I hope you get a chance to visit this hotel gem in Lunenburg!

Room Tip: Go for the 4th floor - water view is great, but rooms are beautiful on either side!

“Needs upkeep and improvement in details!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011 via mobile

I loved the way our room looked here (Arts and Crafts meets Victorian?), and it DID have an excellent view overlooking the harbor.  There were issues, however.  Like every other room we had during this entire trip, it was overheated, and when we went to open the windows, one was merely impossible (plus had a broken handle), while the other had to be propped open with our garbage can!  Then, once we got it cold enough for night, we couldn't warm it up again during the day!  At least there was a comfy mattress and good feather comforter.  

The hotels Tin Fish restaurant was a disappointment with no view at all, juvenile decoration, and closure on Sunday night!  Worse yet were the continental breakfasts we were served in the same restaurant as part of our package.  There were pedestrian choices in pastries and fruit to begin with, then by our second morning, the choices were a disgrace!  Four of us had the opportunity to eat one of 3 stale, cold muffins (same as we were served the previous day), and fruit that must have been cut DAYS earlier.  Three of the four of us ended spitting melon out into our napkins!!  

My suggestion to this basically lovely place are to 'up' maintenance and to do a DRASTIC revamping to the breakfast service!  I want it to succeed, if only for the sake of their friendly and helpful manager, Jeff !

“Lovely experience in Lunenburg”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

My husband and I went to Lunenburg to see the Lunenburg Folk Harbour Society concert featuring Suzie Vinnick and the Hupman Brothers. We took advantage of a package which included tickets to the concert, a credit towards supper at the Tin Fish restaurant, continental breakfast, and a very comfortable room. The staff was friendly, the food at the dining room great, and the breakfast just fine!

Room Tip: We had a room looking over the street, but I think those facing the harbour would be more interestin...

“Terrible Beds”

For a property of this calibre, the beds were way too soft-the worst night's sleep ever-just because of the bed experience.

“Wonderful stay at the Lunenberg Arms Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the historic Lunenberg Arms. The hotel is centrally located in downtown Lunenberg making it easy to get around. My room was a good size, clean, nicely decorated and most importantly, it had a very comfortable bed! The complimentary continental breakfast was a great way to start the day with a wide variety of delicious choices. I especially liked the muffins. But, what made this a truly excellent experience for me was the staff. I was traveling alone and unfamiliar with the area, so without all the help and thoughtfulness of the ladies at the front desk, my trip would not have gone so smoothly.
