What guests think
At Salt Shaker Deli & Inn, travellers consistently praise the central waterfront location and harbour views, the friendly staff, and the popular downstairs restaurant, while noting tradeoffs such as street-only parking, stairs-only access, and rooms without air conditioning.
Rooms have character, views, and comfortable beds, but multiple guests found them small or very warm without AC and at times noisy from the restaurant, street, or early-morning deliveries. Check-in happens at the restaurant and can involve a queue, and reaching rooms requires steep stairs. Cleanliness is often praised, though a few reports note dust, sticky surfaces, and occasional maintenance issues such as tub jets not working. Expect charm and good food with tradeoffs around heat, noise, and access.

Parking is an issue. Prepare to pay at a meter with change and move your car after checking in. Stunning view and very clean. Food at the restaurant was superb as well.

Our stay at Salt Shaker Deli & Inn was very nice, and we would recommend it. Check-in at the restaurant was easy. The apartment was spacious and had a lovely view of the water, a large jacuzzi tub, and a small but workable kitchen. The Inn is conveniently located near the main dock, and we easily found parking. The room was very clean. One thing to be aware of is that there is a steep flight of stairs to get to the rooms. We enjoyed a nice dinner at the adjacent restaurant, which is happy to reserve a table for guests staying at the Inn.

Clean with a nice central location. Access requires a flight of stairs with your luggage. Parking is street parking which is busy during the day.

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.

It was located right in the heart of the small town on top of the restaurant. There was no air conditioning, so it got really stuffy but there were fans set up. Quite expensive for what you are getting! There is no on site parking so you must either park at the harbour or try to find street parking (very busy on weekends!) staff was nice, very strict on 3pm check in. Check in was at restaurant host stand.

We checked in at the restaurant downstairs. We were in the same queue as people trying to get a table so it was a little inefficient but still quick. The room was upstairs in a secured building with a code to the front door and another code to the room (wonder how often if they get changed). The room had thoughtful amenities. Access to Lunenburg Waterfront was quick and amazing. Plenty of dining options in town, would have tried the seafood linguini downstairs but we had a hankering for poutines elsewhere. There's no parking attached to the property, but we were able to find street parking with permitted overnight stay- meter started at 10am so we put coins for 1hr before we checked out. Just one thing, we had our windows open to let air, and BBQ prep began early morning downstairs (we were sure we smelled brisket!) so maybe expect some noise with the windows open. Overall a good stay.

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.

My opinion, the Inn portion of this business may come second to the restaurant. The room was not clean and I’d assume it’s due to lack of time and focus on the Inn or maybe they just have cleaners that do a poor job. Regardless, the room has no A/C but was fine for our visit this time of year and this was disclosed but you need to read carefully. The bed was awesome. Location was perfect, you are right downtown and have good view of the harbor. The check in process was easy but seemed like a distraction to restaurant staff. Food at their restaurant was great. On a side note, the keg delivery happening at 7:30am must have woke the entire Inn and neighbouring Inns. It’s those type things that get overlooked when priorities are imbalanced. We stayed at three Inns on our trip at similar price points and this stay was overvalued for what we received. I wouldn’t discourage anyone to stay here, just have clear expectations when you do. It has potential to be very good with some focus.

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

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!

Property was clean at first site. Once you started to looked around there was dust on the coffee pot, dishes and glasses, also Around the floor boards. So the cleaning lady should really do a detail cleaning once and awhile instead of a quick clean.

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.

Rooms
Rooms are charming with harbour views and comfortable beds, ranging from spacious apartments to smaller spaces. A recurring drawback is the lack of air conditioning, leading to very warm stays and, with windows open, potential noise from the restaurant or street.

I wanted to give a great review for the wonderful location, charm of this building, friendliness of staff and the excellent dining and service, but the heat in room (1) in the inn was significant and truly impacted my sleep and well being during my visit. I’m not sure if it is due to being located on top of a restaurant but the room was significantly hotter than it was outside and it remained uncomfortable despite the use of both a ceiling and floor fan. It is really unfortunate because it really takes away from what could otherwise be a perfect stay.

Our room had a nice view of the harbour! However, due to the age of the building, the floor was slanted and with where the bed was located, we felt like we were sleeping on an incline plane. 😂 Check-in/check-out was easy. We ate both nights at the deli and the first night was better than the second.

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.

This room was such a nice surprise. It had a partial kitchen, which I didn’t use (surrounding restaurants around are amazing, but is a great option to have) and the upstairs bedroom and bathroom were wonderful. The bed was so soft and comfortable plus the bathroom had a jacuzzi tub and shower. I used the jacuzzi tub twice, such a wonderful surprise. I had a small window with a view of the bay, with a nice seating area as well. Another highlight, no keys needed, there was a code for the front door and the room—wonderfully easy. There are stairs required, so keep that in mind, but if stairs aren’t an issue, this property is in the heart of everything and a wonderful stay.

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.

Very clean room with okay bed, great shower and wifi. Only 3 stars because the room was sweltering hot. They really need to install air conditioning. We've stayed here before with the same issue and will stay elsewhere next time. Also, the towel rack in the bathroom is missing and the vanity mirror is suitable only for very short people. Having said that, the staff is very friendly and helpful, the Keurig works well and having a top rated restaurant downstairs is super.

Check in was at restaurant host stand.

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.

We checked in at the restaurant downstairs. We were in the same queue as people trying to get a table so it was a little inefficient but still quick. The room was upstairs in a secured building with a code to the front door and another code to the room (wonder how often if they get changed). The room had thoughtful amenities. Access to Lunenburg Waterfront was quick and amazing. Plenty of dining options in town, would have tried the seafood linguini downstairs but we had a hankering for poutines elsewhere. There's no parking attached to the property, but we were able to find street parking with permitted overnight stay- meter started at 10am so we put coins for 1hr before we checked out. Just one thing, we had our windows open to let air, and BBQ prep began early morning downstairs (we were sure we smelled brisket!) so maybe expect some noise with the windows open. Overall a good stay.

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.

This spot was so special! It was right in the busy stretch of restaurants, lounges and shopping so everything is within walking distance. Our room windows overlooked the wharf where the bluenose is docked. In the morning we got to see it pull away from our room. It sits above the cutest deli that has delicious food.

Located right in the heart of Lunenberg. No a/c was a bit of a let down, as it was pretty hot the day we were there. It is a good thing we weren’t there on a +30 day. It was only one night however, so it was manageable.

This is a great inn located on the waterfront and easy walking distance to everything. We had a view and an ocean breeze which cooled our room. We ate at the downstairs restaurant, which offers delicious meals. We highly recommend the lobster roll and seafood chowder. Great place to stay in Lunenberg.

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!

My room was above a bar- very noisy with music and the crowd. Online it said they close at 9:00 but the noise continued to 10:00. I could also hear the ceiling fan from the bar, all night. Be aware there are steep steps to the rooms, and parking is wherever you can find it on the street. I was two blocks away. There is no breakfast served at this B&B. The bed, though pretty, was very high and difficult to get into. Could have used a little step. I did appreciate the nice robe!
