great central spot for exploring visalia's parks and landmarks

I had a wonderful stay in a king suite that featured a huge rain shower head and comfy bed. plus, the rooftop restaurant and bar offered amazing views that made relaxing after a day of city strolling even better. if you're a single traveler like me, the friendly staff and easy parking were perfect for getting right into exploring the nearby fallen monarch and horseshoe bend, both just a few steps away.

The heated pool was amazing—a perfect way to unwind in winter! The decor is stunning too, but the check-in parking was a bit stressful. Overall, loved my stay! 🌊

We had a fantastic time at the pool party where we chilled out while the kids enjoyed splashing around. The Lakes Trail was a superb family adventure, walking among the giant sequoias made it feel like we were in another world!

My wife says that a family lounge area would be great.

The attended details of the Art Deco design created a unique charm throughout the hotel, making it a standout experience. The rooftop bar served excellent food and the rooms featured extremely comfortable beds, ensuring a great night's sleep. However, the high rating could not be reflected in the dining experience at the rooftop restaurant, which didn’t meet expectations for variety and quality. Overall, this is a lovely place ideally situated for exploring the nearby attractions.

The architecture of this place is stunning with opulent rooms that make you feel like royalty. I especially loved the walk-in rain shower—total spa vibes! Plus, the rooftop spot had amazing views that really topped off our evening.

Opulent stay with breathtaking views

We had an amazing one-night stay in a King Suite, enjoying luxurious decor and a fantastic walk-in rain shower that felt transformative. The rooftop restaurant surprised us with its excellent menu and stunning panoramic views of the Sierra, making it a must-visit. The overall atmosphere was charming and welcoming, though the shower could use some improvements. Service was top-notch, ensuring we felt pampered throughout our visit.

I stayed for one night and appreciated the attention to detail in the decor. The room featured a comfy bed and a large rain shower head. I enjoyed the rooftop restaurant and found parking easy. I noticed the Art Deco design which reminded me of New York's classic architecture.

My experience with the front desk staff was lacking when I needed assistance with the TV. I waited for help that never came.

The room had a comfy bed, yet the elevator access was inconvenient.

The atmosphere was great and I loved the art deco design that stayed true to the building's history. The rooftop bar had a wonderful ambiance, and the pool area looked inviting. However, I found the smart TV in the room difficult to operate and it lacked various streaming apps. Overall, it was a lovely stay, and I would definitely return.

Rooftop restaurant was fantastic. the room could’ve been cleaner.

The Darling is beautifully decorated with a charming Art Deco style, making it feel both elegant and comfortable. I appreciated the thoughtful amenities, including easy access to the lobby from the securely parked area, which is ideal for seniors.

Reduce road noise, especially for first-floor rooms.

a warm personal touch and breathtaking rooftop views create a cozy home away from home

Amazing rooftop dining experience!

art deco design, rooftop bar views, large rain shower

No microwave in the suite!!! The light switches were overly complicated. Noise from the fridge and surrounding rooms made for a less than restful night!!!
