We loved our stay from beginning to end! Ashlyn took care of us with professionalism, kindness and met all expectations. The room was cute and cozy, and the bathroom was massive. We got to enjoy an evening upstairs at the Elderwood restaurant where we ate on the rooftop looking at the downtown. The Darling royal blue pillow is something you’ll want to take home because it is so comfortable. Thank you for making our stay wonderful Ashlyn and Darling staff!

The room was fantastic and the complementary water and snacks were welcomed after a long day in the national park. There is no drink machine onsite which we found out of the norm but the hotel and staff were great. We would stay here again

One king bedroom: Beds/pillows are very comfortable but room is a bit small. Love the rain shower head. Nice bathroom but sink counter is very small. Extra hooks in bathroom for hanging items would be nice. Pleasant staff and atmosphere. Beautiful bar/restaurant with a view. Nice pool area. Appreciated the amenities in the bathroom. No dresser for storing clothes and tiny closet. Thermostat works great. Beautiful place for short stays.

Overall hotel is beautiful compared to a business style hotel. Vibe was good, staff was friendly. BUT the curtains behind the bed was full of dust, cannot close the curtains all the way properly so the street lights leak in. The biggest con of this property is its sound proofing. The motorcycles, the cars, you’ll definitely hear them at night. If you are a light sleeper. AVOID AVOID AVOID
