We stayed in December with our two kids and had an amazing experience! The hotel is well decorated, and within walking distance from shops, restaurants, and the strawberry banke museum. The breakfast was amazing, and staff was friendly and helpful.

Had a couple hiccup’s our first night but the staff was amazingly accommodating and we had a great stay! Breakfast each morning was really enjoyable with many options for a light breakfast and fresh coffee. Overall a very nice place to stay when in Portsmouth with cozy areas by the fireplace to relax after walking and shopping downtown. We would definitely stay here again.

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.

We have had fantastic stays at other Lark properties and expected the Portsmouth to be on par, but what a disappointment. Our room (108) was worn and run down - in definite need of refresh. The carpet needed vacuuming. A pair of old dirty socks and a mass of dust bunnies were under the radiator and plainly visible. The room was dark and 2 lightbulbs needed replacing. The bed was an old broken down pillow top which swallowed you and offered zero support. The tiny bathroom was dirty. Baseboards were covered in filth and dust. The shower was moldy and leaked out the door onto the floor. The tv wouldn’t connect to the WIFI, rendering it useless. “Breakfast” was a sad little continental spread. The number of the shortcomings would be laughable if it wasn’t for the truth. Staff was pleasant, however, it’s obvious that not everyone is doing their job. Lark Corporate needs to wake up, take note, monitor management and attend to the poor conditions present at this facility.

We really wanted to love this place. It seemed so fun. When we arrived they said the front would be open but no one was at reception. There was another place to check in inside of a bar but it was packed and it took forever for us to check in. Then once we got to the room, there was a plastic cup from whoever stayed there before, the lights were flickering on and off and there seemed to be dried bodily fluids left on the chair and some blankets inside that hadn’t been cleaned. It was gross. Lastly in the morning despite us getting up early to eat, there wasn’t enough food for all the people that were eating there that morning. It was picked over by the time we got there. Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend this place
