Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Went there today. The seafood was really really good. Servers were friendly but for whatever reason, we waited 45 minutes or more for the food and worse, once food was brought, waitress never came back! We had to ask other waitresses twice for refills and they forgot too! Would I go again?… yes for the food but the service is horrible. Saw others experiencing long wait for food and service. First time in years I paid in cash but did not leave a tip -sorry got to do minimum work at least to earn it regardless of what you are paid.

We stayed 2 nights in room #4. You really can’t get much better than the view out of the room. Looking over the Harbour first thing in morning was wonderful. This should really only be rated 3 stars as the bed was hard, no fitted bottom sheet and thin mattress pad lay on top of mattress, but did I mention the view?? Just a couple things could really make this a 4-5 star suite. It was nice to have a sofa to sit on when in room. We didn’t eat in restaurant.

Breakfast was traditional and delicious. Opted to sit out on the deck with a great view of the harbor. Indoor seating looks comfortable and clean. Good prices, efficient wait staff, we plan on trying dinner the next time.

We arrived in Lunenburg with no accommodation reservations. There were many options so decided we would choose while eating supper. We went to the Dockside for supper, ate on the patio over looking the Bluenose II in the Harbour and loved it. My seafood chowder was delicious and literally all seafood, no potatoe or other veg acting as a filler. My boyfriend also really liked his fish and chips. Shelly our server was top notch. When we asked about room prices she even offered to take us upstairs after our meal to show us a room so we could decide. She took us up, told us the price and we were sold! The view is absolutely amazing, the rooms sooo spacious and clean. Slightly dated but the view and size makes up for that! We literally stayed at Digby Pines the night prior and both agreed that Dockside was 100 x better for half the price. We enjoyed a walk along the Harbour front, a beer at the brewery and headed back. I realized that I had forgotten a cork screw for my wine but Shelly happened to be coming out the restaurant as we were headed to our room and without a beat went back inside and got me a me one. We enjoyed our morning coffee (kcup) provided in the room while over looking the beautiful Harbour. Showered and enjoyed a delicious breakfast at the restaurant before another days adventure. If your lucky enough that the Bluenose II is docked in her home port make sure to check her out. The ship is amazing, the word work so beautiful and meticulously maintained.
I absolutely recommend Dockside Inn & Suites 100%. Pictures below are taken from our room.

Food was absolutely horrible. Lobster dinner was $39.99 and it was so chewy it was like an eraser. Could not even cut it. Service was good but was very disappointed in food. Was so looking forward to fresh seafood.

My wife and I got here early and that was a good thing since we were able to grab a table for two outside overlooking the harbour. We opted for the lobster sandwich with fries and slaw and loved our meal, which we washed down with a local beer. As we left we saw the lines building up.

The Dockside Inn charged me for a cancelation due to the hurricane? Really, you won't be open and may not even be standing if the hurricane is as bad as projected! I will dispute with American Express. The posting is be warning for ANYONE who makes a hotel reservation. I will get to Fundy Bay after the hurricane but I would NEVER give the restaurant or hotel my business.

Our room was on the 3rd floor but had wonderful views of the water and sail boats. It was quiet even with the road below. Unfortunately, because of staffing issues the restaurant was not open while we were there. We stayed in Room 2 which was very spacious. There was plenty of space for the 3 of us without feeling like we were in each other's way.

First off, the seafood chowder would have been enough! More meat ( scallops, fish, clams etc) to turn it into a meal by itself. But we then had the Lunenburg Scallop dinner. ..not to be confused with the Atlantic scallop plate. Top this off with the Service of a lovely young lady named Emma and you’ll have experienced a great time.

The room had a full on view of the water and the ships upon it. Right upstairs from the restaurant but no excess noise. Big, wide rooms with lots of space. And the price cannot be beat. I put this up there with the best discount hotels I've ever stayed in.
