Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location is great, but the rest of the experience was disappointing. Despite being renovated just 18 months ago, the hotel feels tired and unclean. Breakfast was very limited, and what was available was picked over and poorly maintained—plates were nowhere to be found. Common areas were left with dirty glassware throughout the day. When we returned to our room at 4:00 PM, it had not been serviced and we had to request housekeeping. This was especially surprising for a Lark property. I would not choose to stay here again.

The manager was rude and unfriendly. The accommodation was fair at best. The room did not smell good and the shower had mold. No luxury here so do not expect it. The breakfast was fair but not replenished. The bathroom vanity is so small and two people cannot stand next to each other. The bed was comfortable and the location good. We would not return to this hotel for any reason but the town is enchanting and we were so lucky to have a white Christmas.

I not only loved the location of this hotel but its boutique style environment. We were there just before Christmas and the lounges were decorated with Christmas decorations the fireplace going all day and night. The room was beautifully designed and quaint. Everything was extremely clean and well kept. I would definitely return to this hotel and highly recommended.

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.

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.
