6/10 – Acceptable

Voyage de couple
4 sept. 2023
Points forts : Propreté
We stayed here a few times when it used to be the « Willard Street inn » and really enjoyed it.
We were eager to try the new concept of Lark hotels « Blind Tiger ».
Overall, we really missed the warmth of the service we used to have.
First, you have to ring a bell to get someone to greet you. A gentleman came down quickly. He explains it’s now a « self service » guest house. At 800$ usd (1100$ cad) for two nights, I was surprised to hear that and tought: « let’s give them a chance ».
Room #10 was small and the bed was not comfortable. No tv and no ironing board. No greeding attention, bath products made in China, etc. At a certain price, that is understandable but not at 400$ dollars/night.
First morning, we found out it’s a breakfast buffet. You eat in a lounge with a few table and couches. It used to be a full service breakfast with homemade and local freshly baked goods, eggs « à la carte », etc.
No employee available…
A couple having breakfast in the « lounge » were looking for staff. They tried to ring…No answer. They had to ask a lady in the kitchen for help.
Not sure this is the right product for the price. If you want to attract 20-30 year old people in a self service guest house maybe.
But unfortunately, as is, it needs improvements.
I spoke with Grace on Monday when we left. She was kind and listened. Hopefully, it will help.
