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.

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.
