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!

Lovely stay at The Darling. I really like this hotel, especially with secure, gated parking for my classic car. I always stay at The Darling when I pass through Visalia.

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.

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.
2.0
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.

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.

Stayed for 2 nights. For the first night, we got the room at 2nd floor facing the main street. Cleanness was great, however the room we had was super noisy and the car sounds from the street was more than terrible. We can barely sleep... Staff was nice enough to switch us to another room on the other side at the same floor for the 2nd night. Noise level was better but still not great. We were not expecting such sleeping quality at the price compared to the other hotels in the area. Also, the pool was closed without any notice posted upon booking on Expedia, child was super disappointed - for this the staff Ashly (?) was kind and provided us the complimentary vouchers at Elderwood. However I would probably not choose the hotel if we knew the pool was not open in the first place, which was a huge deciding factor for the child.

Mostly the darling was fantastic. I woke up and went to take a shower and there was what looked like feces on the hand towel. Meanwhile there are multiple suggestions IN THE ROOM asking you to leave a tip for the cleaning team. My room was not cleaned properly and there were hairs on the pillows almost like they didn’t swap em

Our stay at The Darling was like something out of a fairy tale! I was delighted to find rose petals all over the room, a dozen roses, a dozen chocolate-covered strawberries, and a bottle of champagne, all arranged for our anniversary. My boyfriend had scheduled everything in advance, and he mentioned that The Darling made the booking process incredibly easy. We spent a day by the pool, which added the ultimate relaxing touch to our stay. I’m already looking forward to our next visit!

Gorgeous renovation of art nouveau building originally the county courthouse annex. Absolutely the nicest hotel shower, large, walk-in, marble floors but the hexagonal tiles kept it from being slippery. Lots of large, fluffy towels, just lovely.

5.0
The hotel is beautiful and so nice. The room was spacious and so nicely decorated and clean. The staff was wonderful and the restaurant was great. Dining on the roof and watching the sunset was really enjoyable and relaxing. I would definitely stay there again.
The gate around the parking lot helped us feel very safe. I just wouldn’t feel safe walking to far from the hotel day or night. The area about a block or so away wasn’t at all what you would expect near such a nice upscale hotel.
