We enjoyed the beautiful art deco esthetics of the hotel. The room was very clean and quiet. The bed was very comfortable. My husband commented that he slept better at the The Darling Hotel than he had at home for a long while! Our OURA ring sleep scores proved how well we slept. The restaurant and lounge on the top floor was so convenient. The staff, food and drinks were very good. We look forward to our next stay at The Darling Hotel.

I will be staying here from now on every time I come to visit. The hotel was so unique and the room was beautiful. I got some of the best sleep of my life. The bed was super comfortable and I had everything I needed. The bonus is the Elderwood Restaurant on the rooftop patio. Made it easy to have family come meet me for breakfast and dinner and I could go straight to bed after.

Property and rooms were nice but a little run down. Also, a little bit of a maze getting to your room from the parking level. The restaurant on the roof top is worth visiting but you will have to make a reservation because it is one of the tallest buildings in town with a view.

A wonderful historical hotel
Service was excellent, the room clean and comfy, the 4th floor restaurant just wonderful. However, at arrival you have to climb up one level to get to the reception, and the elevator only goes up to the 3rd floor, so if you want to eat at the restaurant, you have to climb up one floor. The Sunday brunch was wonderful. We only got seat at the patio but there were space heaters. We could have used some blankets though. If you want to have dinner or breakfast at their restaurant, which apparently is managed independently from the hotel, you’ll have to make a reservation way ahead of time. All in all a great stay.

A unique hotel worth staying, but probably only once. I’ve been here three times, and this would be the last time. Inconvenience to get in and out of the parking lot (gated) and the hotel entrance (no parking on the front and also have to go up the stairs from both back and front entrances. There’s an elevator from the back entrance to the lobby). Not sure if it’s worth the money, but my husband likes it, and also the restaurant on the rooftop, Elderwood, and the restaurant “Pita Kabob”and the adjacent mini-mart across the street.

The rooftop restaurant is so charming. The outdoor pool area looks relaxing. My only concern is the noise between rooms.

Absolutely lovely hotel in downtown Visalia! Excellent service, beautifully designed bedrooms, spacious bathrooms with a spectacular terrace rooftop restaurant. Wait staff was terrific and the food 5 stars! Get the pork belly apperizer and mahi mahi entrée. Creme brulee was the best ending to dinner. You will not regret staying here.

We loved the repurpose of the old courthouse. The rooftop restaurant was very nice. Outdoor seating was not super comfortable. We would have loved to see more historical information on the prior building use. I personally prefer fresh air, not air conditioning. There are no open windows.

Hello Sandra, thank you for your feedback! We're pleased to hear you enjoyed our renovated courthouse annex building overall. We will pass along your feedback regarding Elderwood seating. We have complimentary historical tours every Wednesday for hotel guests and would love to have you back for one! Our windows are original dating back to the 1930s, so they have been sealed and another pane was added to keep the room better insulated. Once again, we do appreciate your feedback and we hope to welcome you back in the near future.
