We stayed two nights at the Salt Shaker, and loved our room. It was clean and modern while fitting the seaside vibe of historic Lunenburg. Our visit was in March, and really, the Salt Shaker is the only game in town….but gathering there for coffee, lunch, dinner or drinks is an absolute pleasure for visitors and locals, alike. We recommend the Salt Shaker Deli and Inn as a whole. The staff are kind, helpful and fun….and your stay will be comfortable, with great food, and great views. Thank you!

The property location is wonderful...rught in the heart of the town...can walk anywhere. The view was great! The only parking is on the street...we were kucky enough to have a soace become available. Otherwise you could have a fair walk. The checkin experience is different...you checkin at restaurant ...which was very busy and dragging in our suitcases only to learn that we had to go back outside to access the room. The key didnt work so we had to go back in while our things stayed on the sidewalk...it was cold and very frustrating. The staff person was very apologetic for the confusion. Once inside, there is a very long set of stairs which were quite narrow and steep. If you have issies carrying luggage this is not a place you want to stay. The walls are paper thin...we listened to voices and snoring throughout the night which seemed to becoming from below. We only stayed one night and really only slept there as we had an evening event and checked out before 9am the following day.

Great place to stay!
Room was very cozy, and had a beautiful view. The bed was extremely comfortable and I’d love to know where they got the pillows lol. Overall happy with my stay, great location and the food offer was outstanding, staff was also very friendly.

The room was very small and very warm. It is located above a restaurant which played loud music on the deck until late. Once the restaurant closed, we continued to hear noise from kitchen clean up.

Living in an oven with no WIFI
Probably the worst stay I have ever booked. We arrived in a room that had no air conditioning and it was 30 degrees. There was a small fan, and the manager for the place gave us another one ... however it was stifling. We may have been able to live with that, but then we also learnt that there was no WIFI working .... Imagine, you are stuck in a oven and you have nothing to do. Added to that, I dropped some water on the floor, I went to clean it up, and the towel was black afterwards, not just dirty, but black. It was late, and the inn is above the owners restaurant so we went there for dinner. They knew how terrible the conditions were and they didn't even offer us a complimentary drink or anything of the kind. Stay away in Droves

If you are looking for a great location, this is it. Right downtown lunenberg and fabulous spot for roaming the tow. For the overall room, it’s a lot smaller than I pictured online and needs some updating. Linens were nice but things were in need of replacing like old rugs and towels.

We had a lovely stay at the Salt Shaker. The room was clean, unique, comfortable and well-appointed. The giant bed was SO comfy and the view was amazing. If you are a person who wants to nap during the day, sleep in past 11 or go to bed before 10 this might not be a good room for you, because the restaurant patio is directly below the window. Also there is no A/C, which was surprising but thankfully not an issue, as we fairly mild summer weather with a nice breeze.

Stayed 1 night in a 1 BDR suite. Furnishings were lovely and everything was spotless. Good quality linens and comfortable bed. Hide-a-bed also very comfortable. Location was, of course, fantastic. Steep stairs into the room and in the room but totally fine for us. Parking is a bit of a challenge but that’s normal for small historic towns such as Lunenburg. Highly recommend.

A really great location in the heart of town. A good restaurant and bar in the venue, with hotel rooms accessed from an area next door. Everything was really excellent. I also agree with others who have made statements about the misleading 'parking available' listing, but free street parking is available a short walk away.

Lunnenburg is a wonderful place, rightly recognized by UNESCO. Our 2 level apartment above the Inn was perfect for our stay, right in the middle of all things you want to walk to or see. Dave and the staff was so helpful - and their Scallop Linguini was amazing!

The property was lovely. We had help taking our luggage up the stairs. Thank goodness. Room was booked for three ladies and purposely paid for suite that advertised 1 king bed and 1 double bed. There was a king bed and it was great. However there was no double bed to be found. Turns out the double bed was a sofa that converted to a bed. This should be clearly stated as such. For 310.00 for one night we expected what we had booked. Please change your add to state 1 king bed and one double sofa bed. All in all we loved the town and had a great visit.

Winter visit
Interesting spot. No issues other than there was a big snow storm and when we asked where to park, we only received a shoulder shrug. We did not want our car towed or plowed in so we asked at another restaurant and they told us where free winter parking was located.

TV didn't work, staff didn't know how to fix it - should have had instructions for how TV worked, and thermostat once had instructions but the label was worn off and couldn't be read any longer. surfaces were sticky, and bathroom fan hadn't been cleaned in a long time, and wasn't working properly, full of bugs. new grouting in the bathroom would make it look a lot cleaner in shower area. visibly dirty in bathroom around baseboards. pillow covers on extra pillows very old and yellowed/stained.

My room was comfortable with a view of the water. I didn’t consider when I booked that I would be staying above an active restaurant. Thankfully it closes at 9 pm so it didn’t affect my sleep. The room had a mini fridge and Keurig, but a microwave would have been helpful. There is no elevator, but there is a flight of stairs at the front entry. I didn’t have an issue carrying up my luggage, but anyone with mobility issues should be aware of it. There isn’t free parking near the inn, but I was fortunate to arrive after the parking meters are monitored and left each morning before they began being used again. The location is amazing, though. Lunenburg is a beautiful town.

Very nicely renovated. Very comfortable. Cooked breakfast in our room and ate in the restaurant below. The restaurant is excellent and we were allowed to reserve a table so did not stand in line. The accommodations do have 34 steps until you reach the bedroom. I have a cane and could manage. Highly recommend.
