We've stayed at The Darling a few times now as we have family in the area. We tend to gravitate…read moretowards boutique hotels beyond "big box" properties and The Darling definitely fits the bill in that regard. The rooms are always clean, the Elderwood is an ice touch, and the vibe is always fun. During this trip, all was fine when what sounded like the HVAC system above our room started to knock. It's an old historic building so, things happen. The knocking though quickly turned into a roar. We contacted the front desk and this is where the true professionalism of the hotel crew, and particularly Maria, shined through. Maria quickly came upstairs, assessed the situation, triaged with other teams inside the hotel, and identified a solution within 20 minutes. Given the scope of the repair was unclear at the time, she moved us to another room and even upgraded us (even though she didn't have to!) for the inconvenience. Things happen, that's not an issue for us, it's how the team addresses them when they come up. The Darling team rose to the occasion with flying colors so seamlessly in this situation, especially Maria. So for us, just underscores a series of positive experiences at the hotel. This isn't an ultra luxury 5-star hotel, so don't come here expecting that. But it's a great place to stay in Visalia with a premium, boutique vibe, great restaurant, and clean well apportioned rooms. We will be back.

Room service was good quality, appropriately priced and arrived quickly. The only reason I couldn't give this 5 stars was there was no internal secondary lock on the door which made it feel a little unsafe as a solo traveler and also there were not clear instructions about how to enter the gated parking lot upon checking in. Otherwise I had a good stay and would consider visiting again just to eat at the restaurant.

The station offered poop bags too. The amenity is greatly appreciated. The room was clean. I enjoyed sleeping on the mattress. Not too firm. Not too soft. The design is somewhat modern and maybe a thing or two looked outdated. But clean! Unfortunately someone made a mess at the ice machine near the elevator and all the ice got all over the floor. Since there was a convention at the time of my visit, the vibe was pretty lively.

Merili was there every step along the way with sound advice, expert knowledge and rapid responses. Merili's contact list of reliable professionals to help prepare the property was invaluable. When we were away her willingness to personally take care of tasks and issues at the house was amazing. Selling a house is complicated but we always felt we were in empathetic and expert hands, taking a lot of stress away. We are now going through a buying process elsewhere and experiencing delays and mistakes, which makes us appreciate Merili even more!
