Very pleasant stay after a day at Sequoia NP. Front Desk staff was very helpful with dinner options. They also told us we could park in the hotel lot instead of the gated area, thus saving us a $19 charge. The high ceilings are a nice touch and the bathroom is terrific!

3 nights at this fabulous boutique hotel in Visalia! Adds maybe 35minutes to getting to the Sequoia NP entrance versus staying in Three Rivers, but it is SO worth it. Large, clean rooms. Great rooftop restaurant for breakfast and dinners. Awesome showers. Super friendly and helpful staff. Excellent hotel for exploring Sequoia/Kings Canyon!!

I loved this hotel. Such an interesting history. It is located in convenient walking distance to downtown. The interior is decorated beautifully in the art deco style. From the crisp cotton sheets to the high ceilings it’s all lovely. The staff are friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend.

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.
