Would definitely return

Very clean and in excellent condition for age of the classic building. An oasis on a busy street. High ceilings and fitting retro decor. Wish I had gone up to roof top bar/restaurant. Walked around close downtown. Noisy plumbing expected with vi ntage site but I always bring ear plugs.

Worst place ever

I had the worst stay in my life. As a rule follower, I made sure I knew what the smoking policy and made sure I adhered. However, I was called and accused of smoking in the room and even told I can’t have concealed medicinal medicine. I demanded they come in the room and run the cameras to demonstrate that I followed the rules. Overall, I was embarrassed and felt afraid when multiple staff showed at my room to scold me when I know my rights while following their rules. I believe in rules.

Amazing hotel and staff! I was stationed in Lemoore and lived in all around Fresno, Visalia, and Exeter and I can honestly say coming back to visiting and choosing the darling was the best choice! I never knew about it the whole 4 years living here but everything in and around the darling is amazing. Great, beautiful rooms to amazing food in the elderwood.
