Very good experience, excellent food and service at the restaurant. Only one item detracted from an excellent experience, the bath towels were rough, for this type of hotel, I expected top of the line towels.

The overall stay was nice, staff was great. My only complaint is the shower is very loud. And can hear the neighboring rooms when they shower also. We were close to the street and the it was not sound proof as stated.

We had a great one-night stay at The Darling. Both the hotel and our specific room were immaculate. It felt luxurious just to chill on premises and the rainfall shower was a 10/10. We enjoyed the heated pool and had dinner at the rooftop restaurant Elderwood. We interacted with staff a few times and always got quick and helpful responses. Was treated with a bottle of champagne in the room and a slice of cheesecake at dinner for my birthday. Also the free room treats are a small but noticeable gesture and every hotel should do the same. Would definitely stay again. Would love to see the other rooms and try breakfast at Elderwood next time.

Lovely hotel. Very bouji. Nice big room and despite being on the first floor, was very quiet. Didn't get a chance to use most of the facilities but the coffee and snacks were generous, the parking easy ($19 a night), location great and the staff friendly. Very happy with our stay.
