Firearm Policy

At our hotels, we prioritize the safety and comfort of our guests and staff. To ensure everyone's well-being, we have a policy regarding firearms on our premises. We understand that guests may have valid reasons for possessing firearms, so our policy aims to balance safety and respect for legal rights. For the safety of all, we do not permit the open carry of firearms on our property, regardless of local laws.

While we respect the rights of guests who are legally allowed to have firearms, we require them to follow specific guidelines:

  • Firearms must be securely stored in a locked, hard-sided container provided by the guest while on our property.
  • When not in use, firearms should be safely stored in the guest's room or vehicle.
  • Failure to comply may result in being asked to leave the hotel.

This policy applies to all guests, except for on-duty law enforcement and military personnel.  For any inquiries about this policy, feel free to contact our VP of Operations for Lark Hotels.  We're here to ensure a safe and enjoyable stay for everyone.
