7.2/10

My stay at Darlington Inn was fantastic! The location was unbeatable, just across the street from the beach, making it super easy to go swimming (and back in just 2 minutes). My room was clean and spacious, though I did need to bring my own shampoo and beach towel. Overall, I didn't have any complaints and would definitely return.

Rooms

The room was spacious, clean, and included a kitchen with essential appliances like a stove, oven, and microwave (which I found really handy!). I appreciated the white sheets and not seeing any bugs at all.

The owners were really nice and made my stay enjoyable. They were pet-friendly, allowing my two Huskies to join me for a reasonable extra charge.

The location is truly fantastic! Being on the 'strip' meant I could walk to all the attractions, and the beach was just steps away. Plus, I had a great view from my balcony.

I found the absence of breakfast a bit of a downside, but having a full kitchen in my room made up for it (I could cook whenever I wanted!).

I had a pleasant stay at Darlington Inn, which felt like a hidden gem among larger hotels. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach and nearby restaurants. However, I did encounter some issues related to the facilities, particularly the shower height and the noise from the AC units, which could be distracting at night.

Rooms

While I had a pleasant interaction with the older couple who appeared to manage the inn, I encountered a rude staff member during a situation concerning extra charges. It made for a sour note in what was otherwise a good experience.

The facilities were generally good, although I found the shower a bit low due to the age of the building. The window AC units worked well but were quite loud, which might bother light sleepers.

My stay at the Darlington Inn was a mixed bag. While the location is fantastic, just across the street from the beach, and the staff were friendly, I did run into some issues during my visit. For instance, the room was clean and well-kept, but the need to switch towels if staying multiple nights was inconvenient.

The rooms were big and clean, with no bugs found during my stay. However, I did have trouble with the kitchen setup as there wasn't a place to plug in my griddle, which was disappointing.

While some of the staff were very nice, I experienced mixed service overall. I occasionally had trouble getting towels and supplies because the office wasn’t always staffed. It felt like I had to chase after the basics.

The location was excellent, right across the street from the beach. It made for easy access to the sand which I greatly appreciated during my stay.

Although I didn’t get to indulge much, it was nice to see options for grilling right on the hotel. Just keep in mind the kitchen amenities are somewhat limited.

The facility had its charm but lacked some crucial amenities. For instance, the stairs could be an issue for carrying luggage, and the ice machine being outside was a bit inconvenient.
