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.

Classy place!
The hotel personnel were very friendly and attentive to our needs. We had a couple of issues and they were able to help and quickly respond and resolve the issues. A beautiful and unique hotel experience with the 1930s art deco decorations. The restaurant was excellent also.

The building is beautiful. The rooms are gorgeous and the restaurant is fabulous. The only issue I had was there some work being done in the room next to me and they started the work about 6:45 in the morning one morning what was there. Other than that, this hotel is fabulous. It’s right downtown where everything is walking distance.

Nice, trendy hotel. Staff were very friendly and accomodating. Immediately received a text offering assistance. The beds were comfortable and the room was beautiful. My only complaint was that I had a ground floor room and could hear street noise all night.

The Darling is a lovely, quirky, characterful property. Staff members are helpful and friendly. Great restaurant and bar on the roof - food is particularly good (breakfast and dinner). Set a high standard for the rest of our trip.

Loved the character and size of the hotel. Staff were thoughtful and friendly. They were quick to respond to any requests. I wish the in-room coffee was more than a hot plate, but luckily there is an early am coffee shop one block from the hotel. Overall thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend for couples! Great anniversary spot.
