Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were very kind and attentive, but the 2 room suite we upgraded to was not very comfortable. The king size bed in the main room was old and had a dip in the center, luckily there was another bed which we moved to. Smaller but maybe a newer mattress. The shower needs some work, poor water pressure and there appeared to be water damage on the wall causing the paint and drywall to lift. Like I said the site staff seem to be very attentive, but I think the people who own lark need to invest in some upgrades and/or sell this place if the don’t plan on shelling out some money to maintain it.

Overall, we were very happy with our stay here! The only thing I would say needs improvement was the sectional couch in the main fireplace room: it was VERY used, shall we say? While I appreciate the vibes it was giving, it simply was not comfortable because it is far too used and it was incredibly uncomfortable. While the staff were very friendly, it seemed under staffed: each evening the same person who was trying to run the main floor was also trying to man the downstairs parlor. Extra staff and someone constantly in the parlor was needed.

Liked: Cleanliness
For the price, poor value. Impressive old interior woodwork but otherwise a bit tired. “Deluxe King” room hardly deluxe, massive (comfortable) bed alone could not make it anything special. Decor unbelievably dissonant! Breakfast lame for what is a decent food town. The could at least have fresh baked goods! Great location though, left car there and walked to restaurant, jazz club and in town.

Great place. The staff was nice too. The aesthetics and atmosphere are cool, but the breakfast could have been much better. The property was sorta unkempt and dusty. Our room was cold and was told due to the age of the property, the heating was not great, so they gave us an electric heater. Our bed was very uncomfortable too... they need to replace the mattress.

Eclectic and fun place! Comfy, excellent service and not too far from the waterfront and downtown (3 minute drive or 10ish minute walk). Clean and fun place to stay. We didn’t try the breakfast that was included because we had to leave super early to make our flight and return the rental. I would stay here again.
