Surprise in central California

Excellent service! Room is clean and bed was comfortable. Elderwood restaurant is small but really nice with welcoming staff and bartenders. Highly recommend for a weekend stay as you hit the national parks!

10/10 Exceptional

A wonderful find, quite the special hideaway.

After a long day at Sequoia National Park we had a disappointing experience somewhere else and I found The Darling was 20 minutes from Three Rivers and booked the room - couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. Great staff, beautiful hotel, impeccably kept... my wife couldn't have been happier. We had a great evening with a nightcap from The Elderwood upstairs and return to the Elderwood in the morning for breakfast. This fabulous hotel isn't just a nice place to stay, it's kind of a nice experience... A great place to just go and get away. We agreed to come back just to spend a couple of days of rest and relaxation in a beautiful environment with a great restaurant.

4/10 Fair

Not much for the price

Hotel room was on the small side and was extremely noisy do to the traffic. Could have had a better location and room for the price. Had to climb two flights of stairs, with luggage, to get to the lobby. Not good.
EDWARD, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed 1 night. Great location in downtown Visalia before early AM drive to Sequoia NP. Glad we chose Visalia over Fresno as our starting point. Hotel has great "character" and is in excellent condition. Many restaurants & shops within walking distance. Hotel has a rooftop restaurant with nice views, but we didn't eat there.
