Clean gym
Melissa S.

What a wonderful place to say. A little more pricy then I had hoped to pay. The room was a suite. Great for us as we spent the entire day there as we waited for the evening wedding. It was so roomy, clean, and comfortable. We loved the living room. They came with both a microwave and a fridge. They serve a good breakfast with lots of variety. You can eat in the dining room or take it back to the room. There is also a very clean gym full of all the equipment you will need for your work out. I highly recommend you stay here if you are in the area. We are so happy we did.

Many thanks to Ben for helping get us a two night stay for the 50th HS reunion! Excellent place, pretty quiet, nice view out over the orchards. Clean, nice breakfast, polite staff. We already plan on staying there on our next trip! Thanks.

Roach on the wall

ROACHES!! ROACHES!!! ROACHES!!! After reading all the reviews I expected way better of this place. I was woken up to a roach crawling on my FACE! After my husband went to the front desk to let them know their only option to us was to move to the room directly next to us. At this time it was already midnight and my kids were sleeping. The next morning as we're packing up to leave there was another roach!! This place is disgusting!!!!! Do NOT stay here! Management was not helpful at all and very rude.

Just another Best Western. Sorry just a great Best Western. i travel Once a month and have many options for my stay. Yet I have not felt like home or valued as I do here. Thank you Ben for your help, and always making sure I get what I need to relax. do to covid, I understand why the breakfast is so so. But they the willingness to accommodate surpassed my expectations. I dont see myself looking for another place to say, when I habe travel from Silicon Valley to be near Fresno or Bakersfield. i will always check in here for my future stays. Again thank you Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Isa pang Best Western. Paumanhin isang mahusay na Best Western lamang. naglalakbay ako Minsan sa isang buwan at maraming mga pagpipilian para sa aking pananatili. Gayon pa man ay hindi ako nakaramdam ng tahanan o pagpapahalaga tulad ng nararamdaman ko rito. Salamat Ben sa iyong tulong, at palaging tinitiyak na makukuha ko ang kailangan ko upang makapagpahinga. gawin sa covid, naiintindihan ko kung bakit napakahusay ng agahan. Ngunit ang kahandaang tumanggap ay daig pa sa aking inaasahan. Hindi ko makita ang aking sarili na naghahanap ng ibang lugar na sasabihin, kapag naglalakbay ako mula sa Silicon Valley upang maging malapit sa Fresno o Bakersfield. palagi akong magche-check-in dito para sa aking mga pananatili sa hinaharap. Muli salamat Ben. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Solo otro Best Western. Lo siento, solo un gran Best Western. Viajo una vez al mes y tengo muchas opciones para mi estadía. Sin embargo, no me he sentido como en casa ni me he valorado como aquí. Gracias Ben por tu ayuda, y siempre asegurándome de que tenga lo que necesito para relajarme. hacer a covid, entiendo por qué el desayuno es así. Pero la voluntad de adaptarse superó mis expectativas. No me veo buscando otro lugar para decir, cuando haya viajado desde Silicon Valley para estar cerca de Fresno o Bakersfield. Siempre me registraré aquí para mis futuras estancias. Nuevamente gracias Ben.

Back in Exeter for work, staying at this hotel... Here is why it continues to be a great place to stay: 1. While only here once a year in December, the staff knows you by name! 2. During reservation, I asked if I could have "my favorite room" - even though I didn't know the number... I got it!!! 3. Staff is super friendly... helps with whatever is needed. 4. They have a laundry room and even make sure they have change on hand so u can do your laundry in house if you choose. Thank you for being consistently wonderful for many years I've come to Exeter.

Jacuzzi Room

Decided a romantic getaway from LA was just what the doctor ordered for Valentine's and thought that a weekend in the national parks would do the trick. Now, camping is romantic. But a hotel room with in-suite Jacuzzi? Now that's a couples trip! We reserved the Jacuzzi room on Priceline for about $140. On Valentines weekend, on a weekend when all the national parks have free entry, well that's a phenomenal deal in my opinion! I arrived at the king of the Best Western, ready for my Jacuzzi to malfunction or spit out brown water or SOMETHING that would ruin the experience. Nope. Just a perfect, hot, awesome Jacuzzi in the middle of the room. Brilliant. Props for being 30 minutes drive to Sequoia National Park and for the stellar breakfast bar with scrambled eggs, sausage and waffles. There are many closer lodging options to the park, but I wasn't annoyed with a 30 minute drive. Only downfall is there is NOTHING nearby, aka no walking distance gas station where I can fill up on cheap beer and Cheeze-its. No take out. No drug store. That's all about a 10-15 minute drive. So plan ahead. I will most definitely stay at this sparkling clean gem of a Best Western again if I'm in the Sequoia area!

A peek inside.

The most notable thing to me was that this hotel gets serious about its handicapped rails in the bathroom. These were the sturdiest I've ever seen. And they come in handy if you've removed the no-slip mat from the bathtub. That is to say, that mat is there for a reason. The tub is slippery. I didn't try out the unheated outdoor pool. Call me a chicken. Very comfortable beds. Breakfast was the Best Western standard continental with sausage and eggs. The front desk service did stand out as being very professional. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Kiddos in our room!

We stayed in the deluxe queen studio. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated. . It has a full kitchen and a full wall of windows overlooking the river! There was a great little deck with a table and chairs for eating breakfast and enjoying the view. The property had a great beach area with several nice spaces with canopies and chairs for guest to relax in. And plenty of space for all of the guests to enjoy . The River was clear and deep enough to swim in.. it was not very cold but was refreshing in the summer heat after a day spent up at the national parks. The room was wonderful . The kitchen was fully stocked with pots pans utensils , dishes, etc. the beds were comfortable there were plenty of blankets and towels etc. The host was very welcoming and responsive when we reached out with questions and there were instructions, request, and a lot of good suggestions for enjoying our stay provided in a paper that was left in the room.. I would definitely recommend the spot, I plan to come back to visit the Area again and couldn't imagine staying anywhere else

The building itself…read moreis historic and incredibly unique, with so much character and charm that really sets it apart from your typical hotel. The staff was super friendly, attentive, and accommodating throughout our entire stay. They truly went above and beyond to make the experience memorable, even arranging beautiful flowers, roses, and a fruit platter as a special touch. It's those little details and thoughtful gestures that really make a hotel stand out. The restaurant on the top floor was amazing! I had breakfast there, and between the food, atmosphere, and excellent service, it was definitely one of the highlights of the stay. Another huge plus was the security. I felt very safe and comfortable throughout the property. The parking lot is gated, secured, and accessible only to hotel guests, which provides additional peace of mind. Overall, The Darling Hotel offers a fantastic combination of historic charm, beautiful accommodations, excellent dining, outstanding hospitality, and security. The staff genuinely made an effort to make our stay special, and it absolutely showed. Highly recommend this hotel, especially if you're looking for something unique and memorable!

The rooms are always clean, the Elderwood is an ice touch, and the vibe is always fun. During this trip, all was fine when what sounded like the HVAC system above our room started to knock. It's an old historic building so, things happen. The knocking though quickly turned into a roar. We contacted the front desk and this is where the true professionalism of the hotel crew, and particularly Maria, shined through. Maria quickly came upstairs, assessed the situation, triaged with other teams inside the hotel, and identified a solution within 20 minutes. Given the scope of the repair was unclear at the time, she moved us to another room and even upgraded us (even though she didn't have to!) for the inconvenience. Things happen, that's not an issue for us, it's how the team addresses them when they come up. The Darling team rose to the occasion with flying colors so seamlessly in this situation, especially Maria. So for us, just underscores a series of positive experiences at the hotel. This isn't an ultra luxury 5-star hotel, so don't come here expecting that. But it's a great place to stay in Visalia with a premium, boutique vibe, great restaurant, and clean well apportioned rooms. We will be back.

Stayed at Holiday Inn Express & Suites Porterville and had such a great experience I had to share!…read moreFrom the minute we walked in, the hotel was spotless, not just visually clean, but it even had that fresh, clean scent throughout the entire property. It immediately set the tone for our stay. We arrived early from Los Angeles knowing check-in wasn't until 3 PM, and we had a wedding at 4 PM about 20 minutes away. The front desk let us know they'd try to get us in early but couldn't promise anything before around 2-2:30. Totally understandable! We headed over to Denny's for a quick bite, came back around 1 PM, and to our surprise, our room was ready! And what a room it was, beautiful and very spacious. The beds weren't crammed together, there was plenty of room for clothes and suitcases, plus a closet, bar area, Keurig, microwave, and refrigerator. The bathroom was also impressively large, perfect for two women getting ready at the same time without bumping into each other. Breakfast the next morning was another highlight, honestly, way better than expected! Eggs, sausage, turkey sausage, potatoes, bagels, muffins, yogurt, juice, pancakes, you name it. Even cereal! I wish I had taken pictures. A huge shoutout to Sadie at the front desk, she helped us at both check-in and check-out and was so kind, friendly, and professional. Truly outstanding service. A million gold stars! If she's not already a manager, she absolutely should be. Thank you for such a wonderful stay. We travel often and stay in many nice hotels, and this was easily one of the best experiences we've had. I only wish more hotels were like this one!

I felt secure as well as my vehicle. The walls were thick enough to muffle the sounds of the crying toddler next door and stomping children in the room above. Lucky me. The rooms were modern and updated, aesthetically beautiful. Clean. Lots of USB charging ports. Relaxing vibe. My room had two queen beds. The mattress was medium- not firm and not sink in soft. The room included a microwave, safe, fridge, microwave, ironing board, iron, tv, K cup machine with coffee K cups, tea bags, disposable cups/lids. The room setup also included a closet, with hangers, clothes drawers, desk, office chair, and lounge chair. The bathroom water pressure was great. The water heated up quickly. They use unscented Dove products. T The pricing is on the higher end. But that's HIE for you. Comparable pricing to other HIEs. The hotel amenities include an outdoor swimming pool and hot tub, fitness center, work computer center, free WiFi, clothes washers/dryers ( not complimentary), and filtered water machine next to the fitness center. The elevator is tiny. It seems to barely hold three adults with luggage and that's standing cozily next to each other. The fitness center is small. It has two treadmills, elliptical, and free weights. The lounge area also serves as the breakfast dining area. It has a TV and hot coffee, hot water, tea bags, and hot cocoa packets are complimentary throughout the day in the lounge. Free breakfast included. It was quite a spread. + Pancake - self serve machine + bite size muffins (banana nut, choco chip) + slices of bread (white, wheat, wheat English muffin) + bagels (3 different kind) + fruit: bananas and apples + cinnamon rolls + cereal: Raisin Bran, Frosted Flakes, Kellogg's red berries + instant oatmeal packets + mini egg and cheese Omelettes + bacon + sausage patties + biscuits and gravy + hard boiled eggs ( refrigerated) + juice machine: cranberry and OJ + whole milk and almond milk + coffee I was able to choose plenty of items to eat that avoided dairy and HFCS. Plus shout out to the breakfast attendant, he was busy working. Non stop. Cooking more hot items to refill. Cleaning the dining, food service , and food prep areas. Sanitizing in between. Doing this all very quietly, could barely notice he was there. Efficient and stealthy. All within walking distance is a gas station and mini mart across the side street, Dennys across the parking lot, and Aldi grocery store and eateries across the main 190.
