Okay, but not great
Reviewed By NhikerThe motel is not exactly facing the lake, but it is near enough. The rooms were okay, though ours was a bit stuffy and the windows were low and faced the front, so we did not feel we could leave them open A minimum breakfast is brought to the room in the morning.

Now I know why they have 1 star
Reviewed By 65deeDirty.. creeky stained floors. Chicken bones spread all through the hallway for the 20 hours we Were there they were never picked up or disposed of. Definitely some sketchy drug use/prostitution going on in there. Side door opened all night with a rock definitely didn’t feel comfortable or safe being there. Not worth 150$ a night and won’t be back. PS absolutely no room to swim in the pool and dangerous for little ones as the pool is literally only big enough to come down the slide.. also hit the bottom every time we did use the slide. 1 star is very accurate

Tired building but lovely staff
Reviewed By nrocho688461I think we were supposed to ask for the rooms to be made because in the four days we were there, no one came to clean or empty the garbage in either of the two rooms we booked. The staff was always very pleasant and friendly. It's just the building that's tired. Oh, and the billing process is way too complicated. There were four transactions to my card. As the reception staff was explaining to me, I could hear the other young lady on the phone having to explain it all to someone else. We weren't the only ones confused. The staff must waste a lot of time having to explain the billing procedures that the Travelodge company decided to go with. The breakfast was bagged and easy to get from the reception area. As mentioned earlier, the staff was always lovely! :)

one night on the water
Reviewed By Chrissiemc76Staff friendly and helpful. Lovely place right by the water with low windows and seating to make most of the view from the room. Plenty of tea and coffee. Parts of the room were a bit dusty and there was a slight smell of damp but we were there late may before the season got going.

Reviewed By Mammamia0614We're living in Nova Scotia for 15 years from Toronto and still not seen many beautiful places in this province yet. This motel is one of them, absolutely amazing!!! location, property, owner's hospitality, etc... Each room has different theme and decor, so beautiful. We stayed a room has a kitchen and it has everything. You don't need anything. I surprized they provided us, cream and milk for morning coffee were in the fridge. It was so nice to have Timothy's K- cup coffee. Lovely! Small things like this make your staying more perfect. And their outdoor space is also great. a lot of chair to look at the beautiful view of Lahave river. One of the owner, Marc showed us around the property when we checked in. He was very friendly and helpful. What a hidden gem! We'll definitely go back and stay by the water view room :)

A peaceful seaside destination in a woodland setting; just one minute from historic Lunenburg.You'll hear the waves lapping at the shoreline from your choice of accommodation - a cozy cottage, housekeeping unit, or comfortable motel room.

A nice place to stay just over the hill from Lunenburg
Reviewed By NhikerThe room is fine. The wifi is iffy. The motel is located just a few minutes beyond a high hill overlooking Lunenberg. This same high hill provides one of the best glimpses of old town Lunenberg. The motel itself does have nice views of the Atlantic Ocean as well as a pond behind the rooms.

Very basic
Reviewed By Canadian_tourist12We stayed in a motel room. The room had a strong unidentified smell that we were not able to get rid of eve when we aired the room for hours. The temp. in the room was 28C when we checked in and we barely managed to get in down to 25 by the morning with all the windows open. The view from the room is great but this was a sleepover stop so we did not take advantage of it. It got dark early and everything around closed early so no places to get real dinner.
