On arrival we were asked if we were staying at the Darling for a special occasion. The staff took the time to listen to what we had planned for my birthday stay. Entering our room they organised a bottle of bubbles and fruit platter which was a nice welcome touch. The hotels location is walking distance to restaurants, casino, attractions and transport. We had no trouble getting around without a car. The rooms were modern and clean. We would absolutely stay here again

The décor was modern and up to date, creating a welcoming and stylish atmosphere. The staff went above and beyond to be accommodating. The front desk clerk, in particular, was incredibly helpful—recommending local attractions and great restaurants, and even taking the time to circle them on a map of the city. Their hospitality really enhanced my stay. However, the rules and requirements for the attached casino were a bit off-putting and took away from the overall experience. The atms available did not allow myself or anyone of in my party to withdrawl funds.
