The LARK

I was so glad that a friend urged me to stay at the lark for my quick weekend trip to Bozeman. It was a little bit more than I wanted to spend, but worth every penny. The location is absolutely spectacular, right on Main Street where you can walk to so many different places to eat or shop. It is definitely geared toward adventures, and I was in town for an active adventure, so I loved that they set out trail mix in the morning. Coming in November, I was surprised that they had a fire going when I got back last night, but they had everything set out for s’mores, and it was so nice to just sit out outside by the fire! I forgot a charger, and they had one for me to borrow, they have free seltzer waters, coffee, local tea, and hot chocolate in the lobby. The rooms are super clean, great noise proofing, I didn’t really hear any of my neighbors. They’re small, but I didn’t need anything too fancy. The staff was so incredibly friendly, and kind. And I’d love that you could text if you needed things. I really enjoyed staying here, and I would highly recommend it. I will definitely come when I come through Bozeman again.

I’m not one to write reviews but this is by far the best guest experience I have had in a long time. The Lark is adorable, the location could not be better, we were able to walk everywhere all weekend which is one of my main requirements. ALSO! They had a mini fridge in the lobby stocked with seltzer waters and glass jugs of water which you could take back to your room for free. Why isn’t everyone doing this? Thank you for being sustainable and for also realizing that humans need water. The last hotel I stayed at charged $6 for 1 bottle in our room. The Lark is doing it right! Also the front desk staff was super friendly. (:

Cute, quirky rooms. Stayed one night, thought we were getting a deal (just under $200/night), staying downtown, until: (1) there is no parking onsite, which is weird because they had 10-20 open spaces, excluding the 2 dedicated to checking in) — SO, they valet for $30, wherein they drive it to a parking garage 2 blocks away - OR you pay $15 and park it yourself in the parking garage; (2) $$ for incidentals. (3) They don’t offer breakfast, but do offer water, popcorn, tea and coffee. So yes, you will have to find breakfast = $$. The staff is friendly, the bed is comfy, but you are not in a traditional “all rooms in one building type of hotel”…it’s motel style, so you “get” to hear literally everything outside. That’s not a big deal for us, BUT, lighting is. The bathroom has a window to allow for natural light, but also a streetlight, because it was bright all night. The bedroom front window also remains pretty lit (not lit 🔥). Summary, cute room, but we’ll likely stay elsewhere next time we’re in Bozeman.

This is an absolutely fabulous place to stay in Bozeman. Conveniently located to great food, shopping, local attractions, trails, etc. They had lots of fun touches like trail mix in the morning, popcorn in the afternoon. and a fire with s'mores at night! Coffee, tea and water in lobby all day. The staff was super attentive without being intrusive. I would highly recommend this hotel!

I had a very pleasant stay at The Lark. The room was clean and I was happy they are pet friendly. My room location was super convenient for walking my dog. The shower was so nice and refreshing. The staff was excellent. Very professional and kind. The hotel is in the heart of downtown Bozeman but my room was incredibly quiet. I will stay again.

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at the Lark. The location is fantastic for walking downtown. The beds were comfy and the linens were so soft! The room amenities were great quality. Our room was very clean and comfortable. Above all, the staff was amazing, friendly and attentive!

I flew into Bozeman for a 24 hour work trip, and The Lark was suggested to me by my client that I was meeting here. Did not expect much and I can say I was pleasantly surprised. Arrived very late and had to work that night and the staff could not have been more accommodating. I messaged them multiple times asking for food and coffee recommendations and asking to print some documents for my meeting....they helped with everything. Not to mention the bed was one of the more comfortable ones I have slept in on the road, which was a VERY welcome surprise last night! Great spot, great location, exceptional staff, good price...I would totally come back here!

This 1960s-style travel lodge has been turned into a boutique hotel. The redesign is fun and practical, but our room felt small and tight with 2 adults and a dog. The location is excellent—close to everything—but it’s no longer a budget stay. Prices are high for what’s offered, especially with extra charges for pets, parking, and no breakfast included.

Wow, what a super cool modern-vintage hotel in the heart of Bozeman! We arrived after a VERY LONG drive, and we were admittedly cranky and tired. The front desk staff were AMAZING. They were friendly and welcomed us with an upgraded room and great food/drink recommendations. There is a weird and unexpected valet/parking policy but honestly, we don't care about paying to park because you have to in most major cities. Our room was fabulous, with tons of room and cool features. The bed was like a cloud! We slept so hard and enjoyed our brief stay in Bozeman - we would stay again! 10/10!

I travel for work and have stayed in hundreds of hotels. This hotel has by far the comfiest bed / bedding I've ever felt in my life. Everything is extremely clean and nice. I recommend.

I had the pleasure of staying at The Lark last night. I can't complain about a single aspect of the property. The front desk staff was professional, kind and friendly. I was incredibly impressed while watching them deal with a difficult guest with some (in my opinion) ridiculous requests. They were gracious and accommodating. Very impressive. My room was impeccably clean and wonderfully appointed with lavish linens and thirsty towels. The shower was gorgeous and the body/hair products are really lovely. The valet system also works so well. The property is located in the center of Main Street so there is no need to drive anywhere. It's walking distance to clubs, restaurants, bars, shops...seriously cool place. I'm very grateful for my night there and will absolutely be back.

Pet friendly, Bert was pampered and fawned over. Ragen and Goldy are the best hostesses, went above and beyond for our graduation weekend stay. Room spacious and modern, bathroom perfect. Great location with parking for a van with bikes. The patio fireplace is amazing. Highly recommend!

Terrible experience. Super loud rooms, walls are paper thin and can hear everything outside and in neighboring rooms. They have complimentary ear plugs in the room for this exact reason-- so if you don't like wearing ear plugs don't stay here. Also bed frames are made of wood, but are now very dated and dangerous. Corner piece was full of broken sharp wood and cut my leg in the middle of the night. Pictures attached. I do not recommend staying here unless you are getting a giant bargain rate. Front desk Service was good, location is great. Those were the positives.

Jesse and Leslie were absolutely lovely upon booking and checkin. The bed was extremely comfortable and they are so pet friendly. I would have left 5 stars but we ended up having to cancel our breakfast plans because I text asking if we could check out a few minutes later than 11 am due to being stuck up the street with a long wait to get a breakfast table - but Goldie wouldn't budge. Thumbs down to Goldie. Thumbs up to everyone else.

Perfect location, clean and quiet rooms, friendly staff.

Absolutely the best stay of the whole trip. Fantastic hotel, many little perks, gorgeously designed rooms and common areas. Very unique and absolutely worth it the money! Highly highly recommend staying in their newer building. Solltest sheets and super comfy bed. Loved every minute of our stay here.

I have always wanted to stay at the Lark, and finally got the chance. Great location on Main Street, right across from the Baxter Hotel and awesome Bacchus Pub, and walking distance to all the restaurants, shops, bars, and coffee shops. The architecture and vibe is very cool and modern, and the rooms have a great design and layout; love the little desk area, and long shelf for suitcases and bags. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The complimentary coffee and the in the morning is a nice touch, too. Totally recommend!

This was a great place to stay. The rooms are minimalist industrial design. No cabinets but lots of shelving. Everything was clean and the amenities were top notch. Many plugs for charging devices. Very comfortable bed. Great staff with lots of happy faces. The best feature might be its location. We also enjoyed the outdoor fire place. Our room had a safe, but no coffee maker, microwave, fridge, if you need that sort of thing.

I was favorably impressed with this property on my recent visit to Bozeman. The room I had in the "new building" was spacious and reasonably well appointed. The bed was comfortable. The ability to boil some water to make coffee or tea would have been an improvement. This hotel, like many others, is still offering only limited housekeeping. The reason for this is not clear but I suspect it is simply to save money. I believe it is time for the Lark, as well as other hotels to get back with the program of daily housekeeping. Daily housekeeping is particularly important when a guest, like me, is involved in a lot of outdoor activity. Surfaces, especially the floor, need to be cleaned daily.

I rarely, if ever feel compelled to publicly rate a business. In this case I would be terribly remiss if I didn't post a review for this marvelous boutique hotel. Sadly I had to go to Bozeman, Montana for my brother's funeral. From the moment that I had arrived at The Lark I was treated with deference and warmth beginning with the front desk staff. When I got into my lovely room, along with the usual local information, I found a lovely condolence card from the manager of the hotel. I had no expectations of anything personal, but seeing this card from the manager brought tears to my eyes. This is an example of what a boutique hotel is all about. In addition to a perfectly well appointed and comfortable room I was embraced by the love and warmth of a highly professional staff. If you have occasion to go to Bozeman, Montana then I heartily recommend that you stay at The Lark. It is exactly what you expect from a very special hotel.

THE LARK was AWESOME. I was unsure of a few things. As far as shampoo I really wanted to take it home. But didn't want to be charged a lot of money. I wish that would've been more clear. Not having a small microwave or mini fridge was a bit of a challenge sometimes as I'm a person that's always on the go. The noise wasn't a problem. It's a college town and if you complain about the loud cars driving by, I mean what do you expect from a hotel on a street, off of Main Street. I mean come on. The staff was AMAZING. You can text them any questions, request, or valet. All of the staff were funny and very kind. It was such a great experience. The bed was so comfy when I buy a house I'm calling you guys so I can buy the same pillows and mattress. Y'all are so awesome it's insane. Thanks for the amazing stay!!! I can't thank you guys enough for the modern room I was able to stay in, it was truly gorgeous!

If I had to describe our stay at The LARK, I would say the rooms were quirky (in the best way), it's centrally located and the staff is all about customer service. We had an awesome trip to Bozeman because if this hotel. We will only stay here moving forward. I highly recommend The LARK! It also doesn't hurt to have a permanent ice cream truck in the parking lot!

High ratings equal high expectations and for me this place fell short. The staff is very friendly, the room is clean and that's where it ends. There is ample parking in the lot but you need to handover your keys so they can take your car to a different lot???? There's no refrigerator, no coffee maker and no microwave, essentially you get a TV, a bed and a bathroom. I've been traveling over 2 1/2 weeks and this is one of the most expensive places I stayed at because of high expectations. They have an outdoor fire pit that looks very inviting with a glass of your favorite drink and may be a cigar, but you can't smoke on The premises. My biggest fault is I was tired and I gave into the ease of already being here and I regret it. Motel six is probably about a quarter of the price and I think you even get a microwave and coffee maker.

CLEAN. That seems to be hard to find these days but this is. Tile in the shower was pristine. Glass shower enclosure was spotless, etc. Prime location on the Main St. Excellent customer service. They stoked a fire in the fireplace up front and even brought us a blanket. To be completely transparent we got a room with 2 doubles and the room was a bit tight but overall we're still very pleased with our stay. The only constructive criticism I can offer would be that there were only 2 pillows on each bed -though they made it super easy to request anything we might want/need. And the beds are very low. My MiL is in her fifties and mentioned that it was difficult to get in and out of. Hope this helps!

My mom and I needed somewhere to stay for one night to kick off our week-long trip in Montana/Wyoming, and the Lark ended up being an absolutely perfect start... wish we had planned on being in Bozeman a night or two longer, honestly. Awesome location downtown, thoughtfully-approached minimalist design, spotlessly clean. There's a delightful coffee shop right downstairs and it's walking distance from great shops and dining. You can take a quick drive to beautiful hiking--would recommend Lava Lake. You're not going to want to hang out in the room all day because they're a little small (nothing crazy), but I like to think that's on purpose because why wouldn't you want to be outside?! Thanks for a great stay!

Best location and value! We had the best stay at the Lark. It kind of reminds me of an old motel that was completely redone and modernized. Very clean and perfect for what we needed. Would recommend and would come back!

Industrial noir interior design can sometimes get outta control. Barn-door bathroom doors that don't really close revealing a door crack large enough to drive a Mac truck through does not lend itself to privacy. Wood and metal adornments make a cold and stark room. We called the light next to the bed the 'streetlight'. No java in the room , no closet with iron or extra towels, only one hard plastic chair. One chair????? The other person sits on the bed??? And a big plate glass window to view parked cars and welcome their headlights into the room in the evening. Why a large plate glass window when you will keep your blinds closed all of the time so people aren't looking at you. And get this. We came home after a long day and the room was untouched. Bed not made, wet towels still on the floor....nothing. Call front desk and they said "you must request room service at the time of checking in for your stay." I said, "No one told us this at check in! How would we have known that???" The sheet was stained on the bed when we arrived. Cars cannot be parked at the motel, they are driven by staff to a discrete location 3 blocks away. Forgot to get something in your car? Call the number and 20 min later your car is delivered only to be returned again 3 blocks away. Staff are friendly and caught in the middle. There is complimentary flavored water but they won't tell you this at check in. It is tucked around the lobby corner hidden in a little fridge if you get thirsty. A few easy improvements can make this campy little motel (not hotel) a wee bit more pleasant.

I've stayed here twice now, three years apart. The first time in a King room, and the second time in a Micro-Queen. Would highly recommend if you are in Bozeman. I'll start with the only cons: the shelf in the shower is quite high (almost unusable) if you are short, and there is no microwave or minifridge in the rooms. Pros: Great location, valet parking, AWESOME staff, nice rooms with large walk in showers, and a great coffee shop attached (Treeline).

Pros- The Lark is a cute, eclectic hotel. The location is on Main Steet so close to everything. The decor is trendy and the rooms are nicely decorated. The bed is comfortable, the linens are nice, the robes are super soft. The soaps and shampoos smells amazing. The girl at the front desk is super friendly and helpful. Cons- The walls are paper thin. You can hear every conversation that the people next-door have. The rooms are poorly appointed. No coffeemaker, mini fridge or microwave. The TVs are very small with basic cable only. Don't think I'll stay here again. It's too noisy and I like the convenience of having the basic appliances

Great location! We were able to walk literally everywhere downtown. The coffee shop next store is awesome. The staff here were knowledgeable and friendly. The rooms were clean and updated. Very quiet motel considering the location. We would stay here again.

This place is more Portland than Portland! For me, that's a huge positive. The rooms are hip, smart, and efficient. The staff is friendly and incredibly helpful. They have a freaking TACO CART in the parking lot! They have the best location of any hotel in Bozeman: right in the heart of downtown. As an aspiring dirtbag, I don't like paying more than $100 for a hotel. However, we had just climbed Devil's Tower in NE Wyoming, rappelled down in the dark, slept 3 hrs in the car, then road-tripped west to Bozeman. I felt like we deserved to indulge the urge to splurge. This is the most I have maybe ever paid for a hotel, but it was absolutely worth it. Maybe I'll come back in the winter when rates are (likely) lower.

Overall the hotel was nice, has a fresh aesthetic, and was clean. Every member of the staff that I interacted with was pleasant and helpful. The only reason I knocked one star is the parking situation and the value. Because of the lot size you either have to park offsite or pay for valet- which consists of a staff member handing you your keys. Not a big fan, but I completely understand the space constraint. The value for me was a bit iffy as my coworker had a room just up the road at another (chain) hotel. Her room, albeit further away from downtown, was substantially larger, and as nice if not nicer, but was over $40 cheaper per night. That was with a discount I received due to business connections. All said and done, I would still recommend the Lark if you're looking for a cozy/trendy place to stay near (walking distance from) downtown.

I should almost post 2 different reviews because the room was super cute, bed was very comfy and everything was new. We enjoyed our stay and the coffee/tea in the lobby upon arrival is awesome. For these reasons I'd give it 5 stars. I'd give it 1-2 stars for the front desk and their "valet" policy. We arrived and took a parking spot and went to check in. There were plenty of spots but when I went to check in I was told that they have a $20 valet policy and everyone has to pay it. I said we didn't need valet since we had a space but they said it didn't matter and that they would be valeting my car in another lot. I don't understand why if there are spaces as a guest you are obligated to pay for valet and on top of that they move your car even if it's in a spot. So we unload and they move our car but it was too cold to walk to dinner so they had to retrieve it. When we returned from dinner there were still plenty of available spots to park so we parked and the car stayed there until we checked out the next day. I think this policy is absurd and if the hotel has spaces you should be obligated to pay to park. I understand if you indicate ahead of time that your hotel doesn't have a lot Of spots to park and upon arrival if there are no spots there is the option of valet that makes sense but to automatically valet everyone even when they are already in a space seems ridiculous.

I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. From the minute we got there it was an amazing experience. We got there an hour before check in but they let us get our room early. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and did everything to make our experience better. We did opt for the valet service since it made everything easier and was very affordable. The room was beautiful and clean too. For a hotel in the middle of downtown it's a no brainer to stay here and I'll be coming back again for sure.

The worst hotel we have experienced... Unfriendly, cold,no accommodations besides internet...felt like we checked into a hospital

I should also add that it's location puts in the heart of the downtown area which offers so fun exploration of places to eat or investigate.

At first I was worried when we got our first floor rooms I was a little worried. This place was super clean. Like exceptionally so. The sheets were incredible. I'm buying some for my own bed! I would recommend getting an interior room but it wasn't horrible. Staff was super friendly but valet too a really long time. So if you want your car from the garage call it at least 30 min early. Took us 40 min to get our car from garage.

BOOK IT! I just stayed here for 4 days 3 nights with some friends and our dog and let me tell you this is probably the best hotel room I've ever stayed in. I'm from out of state and this hotel is perfectly located to walk downtown to all the shops, restaurants and bars! I think anyone is crazy to have left The Lark any other reviews then 5 starts. The rooms are totally updated, clean, and trendy. Probably the cleanest hotel room I've ever stayed in. We brought our dog and we're greeted with a cute little doggie bucket that included a cute bandanna, a tennis ball, and clean up baggies. I thought it was the cutest gesture. The lobby is so cute to hangout and we especially loved sitting by the fire pit at night. Lastly the staff was SO nice and friendly. Love feeling the small business family owned vibe and it really showed. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be staying here again if I go back to Bozeman

I had a wonderful stay at The Lark during December. The rooms are very comfortable and have wonderful accommodations. The staff is extremely helpful and they really want you to have a great experience. We received a hand written thank you note upon arrival, text messages from the front desk for easy communication, and the option to borrow or buy gear for our activities. Great location in downtown Bozeman, close to everything. Will be back!

Such a great experience! Our flight was cancelled for 5 days due to bad weather. We were able to book here for the extra days, really affordable and located right downtown in walking distance to a ton of restaurants and bars. The staff was incredible and so accommodating! The atmosphere of the hotel was awesome, we loved the decor, so unique. Also, I left my iPods in the room and they offered to ship them!

The hotel says they allow dogs. When you check in, they do instruct you that no dogs are allowed on the bed. I don't like sleeping in hotel sheets so my husband and I bring a comforter and top blanket to sleep with (as well as pillows). We stayed with our two dogs and did not allow them on the bed. The next day I get a call from the Lark Bozeman that the sheets were trashed and they had to throw them away and they will be charging me. How could this be when I did not even use the sheets? I feel misled and taken advantage of. Bozeman has a lot of dog friendly hotels, so I'd instruct you to chose a different one that is actually pet friendly. Side note - I have never written a negative review on yelp but I felt compelled because this feels fraudulent. I will never stay at a Lark hotel again.

Adorable little hipster hotel located smack in the middle of downtown Bozeman. The staff was very nice and the room was clean. They have coffee and tea 24 hours a day in lobby and a cute little vintage trailer outside serving up ice cream, etc. There is a woodburning fireplace with seats in front of the lobby to warm yourself during those brisk mornings and evenings in the fall. Valet parking only which was fine for me because there were plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. My only complaint is that the bed is s little too soft and the light on outside the patio door made me think it was morning, but it was not! Price was reasonable for being so close to things.

My sister and I stayed one night at the Lark in June and it cost $500. We had a room with two double beds under a dark staircase; the beds were soft and comfortable but that was about it. I even had to pay an extra $20 to park. The location is central however super noisy. The rooms were mid century modern artsy but I felt like I was staying at a youth hostel.

Location, location, location! This spot is perfect for a Bozeman getaway. Ice cream, coffee, breweries, distilleries, and great restaurants out your door. The hotel has a modern, hipster vibe, plus it's fresh, clean, and new. Little pricey for not having the luxury that's expected to go with the price range but I'd stay again.

Simple + elegant. The Lark has everything you need and nothing you don't! Right in the heart of downtown Bozeman, super friendly staff and excellent coffee attached to their new addition. We will definitely be coming back.

The room was very clean, the service was very helpful, and the location couldn't be better. We highly recommend this place for couple, or families.

I loved this hotel. It was so unique, well appointed, and the bed was super comfy. It was perfectly located and in walking distance to all of the downtown shops and restaurants. The staff was friendly. The room was clean, modern, and had an artsy vibe. Valet parking was complimentary which you don't see in most cities. I wish we could've stayed longer!

Thank you to the staff at The Lark! What a fun place to stay in Bozeman! In the Heart of Downtown Bozeman! Close to shops and restaurants! Loved this place very much!

A great hotel that has a nice new fresh vibe to it that the other hotels do not match in bozeman. I felt the price was fair and compared to the other hotels in town this one has the best look, most of the other ones just felt like a best western standard boring hotel. PROS: -The hotel rooms are nice and modern with great toiletries. -The beds are very comfortable and the white noise machine in each room is a nice touch, not because of noise from the hotel but just to help me sleep soundly through the night. -The staff is very friendly and welcoming. - It is also right in the center of bozeman so you can walk to all the shops and restaurant/bars. - Free valet service for your car CONS: Wifi signal could use a bit of a boost. Checkout time, It was 11 I believe but I wish it would be noon.

really friendly staff. This is a great example of getting what you pay for. it was a bit pricey, bit WELL worth it. All staff members were not only friendly in a sincere way, they were SUPER accommodating and willing to explain any and everything about the immediate area. If I am ever in the area again, i WILL be there. thanks a lot guys.

I was lucky enough to stay at The LARK in June, following our visit to Yellowstone. This architect-owned remodeled roadside motel reminded my graphic-design friend of a student project he would have worked on. I don't think he intended it as a compliment, but the more I thought about it, the more I liked it. Student projects are full of idealism and spunk and are not hindered by short-sighted clients with overly restrictive budgets. The LARK is clearly a labor of love. We experienced super friendly service, that went way above and beyond to provide an enjoyable experience. The "Comphy" sheets are amazing, decadently soft, and they breath better than I expected from synthetic fabric. They have an excellent selection of coffee, teas, and trail mix in the lobby. There's a taco and ice-cream truck in the parking lot! The artwork on the walls of the rooms is especially fun and done by local artists. The parking lot is small, with construction taking over some of the spaces. The only parking allowed is for loading and unloading. Luckily they offer a complimentary valet. We were traveling in a wheelchair accessible van with hand controls, and they made an exception for us to stay in the parking lot. Upon check-in, guests are given a fun little notepad with the room number and wifi details handwritten on the first page, and then a dozen blank pages to use as you wish. Our daughter loved having a notepad to color and write in. This is just an example of the many small touches that make The LARK so special. If you ask at the lobby, they'll give you tokens for buy 1 get 1 free at the distillery across the street. I recommend the huckleberry vodka. We very much enjoyed our stay at The LARK, and would definitely come back again if we're ever in Bozeman.

This place reminds me of Portland. It's basically a redone motel for hipsters. But I do have to admit that all the little extra touches are quite cute and even cool. The bed was comfy. The teas in the lobby were fabulous. The valet is complimentary. And the staff were incredibly nice. It was also quiet. For the price, you get a bit more here than you would at the other standard, chain hotels in the area. So in sum, this is a fun and cute place to stay. And be sure to partake in some free tea in the lobby.

Great location in the heart of downtown. Walking distance to great bars and restaurants. Whimsical rooms, modern and comfortable. Great bath products (attached to wall). Nice blend between hipster, boutique, and an old school motel. I can tell it will be busy and will get pricey. Open a month and already sold out nights.

Great location, awesome bed and sheets. Great room although sparsely furnished. They could add a comfortable chair or 2. The downside is no coffee in the room nor microwave or refrigerator!

Top notch staff! Everyone was friendly, helpful and welcoming. Rooms small but clean and hip- with nice touches from the lightbulbs and robe to the shampoo. No bathtub- which was a bummer since our kids are young and don't take showers yet. Free valet parking. The Lark is in the perfect downtown spot allowing you to walk to shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

Awesome, details galore. Everything seems so thoughtful, a true exceptional boutique hotel. Without question we will return. Wow.

This is my favorite hotel!! The sheets are the softest and most comfortable I have ever slept in. The location is the best for downtown Bozeman. You can walk to great shops, amazing variety of restaurants and some fun bars.
