Great welcome to an interesting building. Unfortunately sleep wasn’t great with thin windows and cheap pillows. Beautiful rooms otherwise.

We stayed for 3 nights while celebrating my birthday. Pros: Great interior design. Lots of great gold and art deco/geometric touches all throughout the property. Nice high ceilings. Just about an 1.5hr drive from Sequioa and Kings Canyon Natl Parks. Cons: A confusing mishap was handled poorly by manager Jessica and a handful of the customer service staff. We were told by multiple staff members that a dining discount would apply to our dinner bill and Jessica was kind enough to explain that the staff advised me incorrectly. A better show of goodwill would’ve been to issue to discount anyway for our trouble. The mattress was a bit hard for our comfort and the sheets while clean-smelling were stained with what may have been a previous coffee/wine spill. We didn’t make a big deal of it and was generally satisfied with the room’s function. My status with Expedia allowed access to a complimentary room upgrade however this was not available at the time of check-in. The desk staff advised that we’d instead receive free self parking and free late checkout (12pm vs. 11am checkout). Free parking was already a feature I had access to via my Expedia status. This may have been a missed opportunity to go far and beyond expectations, perhaps by offering a dinner discount or some other show of value and goodwill. Similar properties may make note of the day of the birthday and leave a small treat in the room - for example. All in all it was a great trip and we enjoyed it.

Interesting property with a lot of charm and history. Very different from a sterile chain hotel. Room was clean and comfortable with some nice amenities in terms of snacks and beverages. Dinner at the restaurant was very good. I would recommend this place to others and would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Date Night
My husband and I spent a night here. Every single person was so nice from the minute we walked in! Spent time upstairs at the bar before a show a few blocks away. Both dinner and breakfast were superb! And the signature cocktails! Excellent!

Gorgeous property. Beautiful huge comfortable room. Absolutely loved it. The restaurant was delicious. The hotel is not in an area where i would have been walking around at night, so I was glad the restaurant was onsite. There was very loud drag racing happening at 2am which was unfortunate but had a great stay overall.

Poor access, poor room access, front desk staff unhelpful and unfriendly, no attention to detail. Shower I’d 10’ tall rain shower head with poor water pressure…really unsatisfactory across the board. Dinner and drinks were fun in roof to deck restaurant which was only redeeming quality.

Fabulous place!!
The Darling Hotel was FABULOUS!! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were quite comfortable and well decorated. We were just disappointed that we couldn’t stay longer. Several great food options within walking distance. We would definitely come back and stay again at the Darling Hotel.
