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.

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.

Room wasn’t cleaned properly
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
