Brigantine Inn

We arrived at 2:40 and found we had to check in with bar staff at the busy downstairs bar. It was very loud and we were told “check in is at 3, you have to wait”. We stood on the sidewalk outside and, magically, at 3 we could check in - usually someone will check if the room is ready when you arrive a little early but that courtesy was not extended to us. There is no parking except metered parking on a busy street so you have to constantly plug a metre at $2/hour. Free parking is about 4 blocks away up a very street hill if you can find it. The room was very hot but there is a working old loud air conditioner. The room is tired and ugly with a shower that my husband barely fit in. The ceiling light is poor and on a pull switch so you have to get out of bed to turn the light off and on. One bedside lamp that we had to move for the person who chose to read. The hair dryer fell out of the wall when I tried to use it. Location of the hotel is central but not at all suitable for mobility challenged people. I would not recommend. Very expensive comparable to what you expect for that price.

Great location and good value.

Four people only got a queen size+one single size beds. Not enough.

centrally located, good price. To check in you go to the restaurant, which is a decent place to eat and drink. Lighting in the room was pretty abrasive and it was cold. But it was a terrific location and the price was right.

Best location and view of the basin. A bit dated, carpet needs replacing. Bed a bit dated also. Quaint and unique but that’s old town Lunenburg.

The Brigatine Hotel is a vintage building close to the bay in Lunenberg, Nova Scotia. It has a small restaurant and many rooms. Unfortunately, we had a room in what was called “The Annex”. Our room was not in the Brigatine Hotel at all! It was across the street in a smaller, house. We are in our mid 70s. We had to lug our heavy luggage up a stairway entrance, with very loose and rotting railings. Once in the house, we had to drag the luggage up a winding, narrow stairway to the second floor. The upper floor had two nice bedrooms with TVs and a sitting room with a partial kitchen and a bathroom down the hall from the bedrooms. The upper floor could not be closed off, since it all was open to the entry door on the main floor, which had two locked doors to a first floor unit. We hated not being able to lock our unit upstairs. The tub didn’t drain right and the it filled as we showered. There was bottles of conditioner, but no shampoo. The room keys were in a sleeve and the internet info on the keys did not work. In the morning, we found a card in the sitting room, letting us know that the internet for the Annex was not the same as the hotel. We had no time to use internet for our next day plans. The person who checked us in was waiting tables and quickly checked us in and pointed to the house across the street and had us figure it out ourselves. We paid almost $300 for this unit. We could have done much better with all the cute hotels in town.

You are in a very old building so the accommodations reflect this. Fantastic location and views!

It’s time to replace or remove the carpets. The stains leading up and into the room are a complete turn-off. It’s time to renovate…I did t even want to be barefoot in the room.

Very quaint accommodations in convenient location.

Very nice view of the Harbor. Very clean rooms , bed was very comfy bathrooms very clean . Nice bar restaurant downstairs .
