The Darling is beautifully restored with period appropriate and in some cases original details, such as the original elevator and lighting in the lobby. The bath rooms are lovely with spacious showers and plenty of room, though I wish there was a bit more storage space for toiletries near the sink. The mini fridge and tea pots were very useful for making a light meal or snack and the tea bag style coffee in the room was excellent. Be aware that if your room faces Court street, you will near traffic outside so bring some ear plugs, especially if it is a weekend. I had noise canceling earbuds and didn't hear any noise sleeping with those. We stayed three nights and paid for an upgraded large room on the top floor which faced Court street and it was quite loud on a Saturday night, so our last two nights we asked to move to a quieter room. This second room faced the opposite direction and was very quiet, though not a large as our original room.I didn't get to use the heated pool as it was rainy and cold on the day that I was free to use it, but it looked lovey and clean, with fountains on both sides and the water was very warm. The workout room as also very clean and the staff were attentive, pleasant, knowledgeable about the history of the hotel and the area and very helpful in moving us between rooms. Overall, I would stay here again.

I had a reservation for 10:30am me and my party arrived on time and we were seated and forgotten about for 40ish min while others were seated and served drinks. I had to ask a worker if someone was going to take our drink order soon. Then I believe a manager came out and offered us free apps and discount drinks ect. It still took awhile to be served before others. We didn't receive our drinks until an 1jr and 3 min later which was frustrating. Also when the check came they didn't comp the appetizers like they claimed they would. I had to remind them, which was a terrible experience. We usually don't have service so horrible but today was a whole new level. I'm not sure why we were forgotten about and dismissed and mistreated.

Just as promised, we returned to The Darling to celebrate our 1st Anniversary on New Year's Eve. We were greeted with warm hospitality, and champagne awaited us in our room. We enjoyed a beautiful dinner in the main dining inside and received superior service from their entire team. They put a lot into making every guest feel special and we highly recommend The Darling for a fabulous date night, wedding or any celebration. It will be worth remembering for years!

I stayed here for one night to support teachers in a neighboring school district and I loved everything about this hotel! It smells good, the vibe is sweet and elegant, and the rooftop restaurant was amazing! There's a cute pool area and the high ceilings and cozy beds made the room really chic and lovely! Plus the little town area it's located in feels like a little slice of Stars Hollow! I'll definitely be back!

Not the best hotel I've stayed at. It's the cleanest you'll probably find around the area other than the Marriott across from the hospital. And that's kinda saying a lot. Despite all this, I would stay here if I wasn't staying with a friend or family member. It is near some god coffee shops and Visalia downtown. Convenient location.

We held our reception of 110 people at The Darling Hotel, on their North Courtyard. We love Visalia & very glad we made the decision to stay local! The Darling staff worked with us so well & made our day run so smoothly! Our set up was beautiful & everyone enjoyed their time! We are looking forward to our next celebration at The Darling Hotel!

If I could give 0 stars I would... The place beautiful, it could be a really nice place for cocktails but the staff is horrible. We are locals and have attempted to have a nice night out with some cocktails in their bar multiple times. Every time we go for cocktails the bartenders are extremely rude and act like we are a burden for coming. We decide to try this place again last weekend, we had a group of 5 and wanted to try multiple drinks. (Like we do everywhere we go) We were told only we could only order 3 drinks. Personally I was ready to leave but I brought out friends who were visiting from England and they wanted to try some other drinks. We ordered 3 more and were told we had to order food in order to stay. What kind of place does this?? Once again Every time we have been it has been a very cold and an unwelcoming time. Don't waste your time on this bar. There are many other places that are happy to have you and your service.
