The first floor is really the basement. Room 104 was like a prison cell. Windows above our heads. The room was small. Could barely move around the bed although the bathroom was large. You get a large welcome package with fresh fruit, protein bar, candy bar and chips. Nice pool. Roof top restaurant, overpriced food, good views of the sunset.

This hotel is beautiful, very well located, exceptionally clean… the room is cozy, comfortable, well designed, and the shower is amazing!! But what made our short stay exceptional was the service: Yesenia, who checked us in in the evening, was very courteous and friendly, took our needs in consideration, and made us feel very welcomed - a 5 stars check in experience; our server at breakfast was so nice; and then Maria at the front desk in the afternoon was so sweet to us while I hung out for hours at the lobby with my toddler - she made sure to make us comfortable as well as welcomed! Absolutely great service!

We had a great one-night stay at The Darling. Both the hotel and our specific room were immaculate. It felt luxurious just to chill on premises and the rainfall shower was a 10/10. We enjoyed the heated pool and had dinner at the rooftop restaurant Elderwood. We interacted with staff a few times and always got quick and helpful responses. Was treated with a bottle of champagne in the room and a slice of cheesecake at dinner for my birthday. Also the free room treats are a small but noticeable gesture and every hotel should do the same. Would definitely stay again. Would love to see the other rooms and try breakfast at Elderwood next time.

Lovely hotel. Very bouji. Nice big room and despite being on the first floor, was very quiet. Didn't get a chance to use most of the facilities but the coffee and snacks were generous, the parking easy ($19 a night), location great and the staff friendly. Very happy with our stay.

My boyfriend and I have stayed here twice now, and really enjoy this hotel! This last time was his birthday and the staff was really awesome about adding some special touches to make him feel special. I think the hotel itself is beautiful— I just love the old Art Deco building and so appreciate that the style is kept throughout. The holiday decor was lovely! Our rooms have always been clean and comfy. The first time we came we did brunch at Elderwood, this time we did dinner— both delicious! Nothing to criticize about this hotel, we love it and look forward to staying again sometime!

Beautiful renovation of an art deco building with so much history, and a stunning rooftop restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, and friendly staff, such as Dominick and the female server with purple hair, (whose name we didn't get). The pool needs a special positive shoutout-- it's not only heated, but super heated, with very warm water coming out of ports under the water. We were there in January, so that was extra nice. It's a small pool, but big enough to do short laps.
