Ein wunderschön restauriertes Hotel, das uns sehr gut gefallen hat. Das Essen im Restaurant war hervorragend, Sauberkeit und Freundlichkeit ausgesprochen gut. Ein sauberer und kleiner Poolbereich, den wir meistens für uns alleine hatten - und überall riecht es so gut! Ein großer Parkplatz direkt am Hotel. Absolut empfehlenswert!

This is an old court building which was not intended as a hotel. We experienced inconvenience in many ways while staying in the hotel. it is ridiculously difficult to park our car and then to check in.

We were never told there was a charge for parking. Big surprise when we checked out. Its redicules that they charge $19 for parking. Its not like this is LA and they just don't have the space.

Staff is great and the aesthetic of the hotel is wonderful. We’ve stayed before and had no problems, but this time had issues with tv connectivity and some room cleanliness concerns- slow drain, stains on shower tile, dried food stuck to inside of info card, for example. The Darling is a hotel with character and I hope these small items were a one-off occurrence, we have loved staying here in the past.

This hotel was lovely. The room was pristine and luxurious. We loved the location, enjoyed the pool, and had drinks at the rooftop restaurant. The only downside was that the restaurant was $$$ and had a very limited menu. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it!
