We had a lovely stay, upgraded to level 15 with beautiful views for my bestie's 40th Birthday. Free parking and $50 credit which I used for dinner at Sokyo. Buffet breakfast was huge! Definitely will stay 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.

The nicest hotel room I’ve ever stayed in. We were fortunate to get upgraded to the Jewel Suite and it really made our anniversary weekend stay special. Loved the pool and hot the area, making full use on both days. Service from all staff was fantastic, but especially Tenzing on the front desk. Would definitely recommend a stay at The Darling.
