Seemed the hotel maybe on its way down. The attached restaurant was permanently closed with old tables and chairs in a pile in the yard beside it.

Quick trip for a day of riding on the Xhhese Trails. Darlington In let us vheck in early which was very much appreciated. The parking lot gets full quick with all the trailers but it is big enough to accommodate.

Stayed here while in Darlington to ride ATV trails. Very easy, comfortable, and pleasant. Appreciated the full size coffee pot and small refrigerator. Very clean everywhere and well maintained. We felt safe leaving our machine and trailer in the large well lit parking lot. We will definitely be back!

Nice hotel. Clean, friendly, nice breakfast. Be aware that there is no elevator so if you are not up to carrying your suitcase up the stairs ask for a room on the first floor. Love this beautiful area.

Was aweful. Start to finish. Double charged me on two rooms. Then after the third credit scan, the bank froze my card due to them trying to get me to pay for the 2 rooms 3 times. The room was aweful. Bathroom was not clean, black mold above the shower, used soap bars on the top of the shower, writing on the walls in the bathroom. The toilet leaks, and has shims under it to level it out. The toilet overflows when the toilet above it flushes. Not at all impressed. Was suppose to stay for two nights half my family left due to too many people in the room. The rest of us left before breakfast. Would NOT recommend at all. Stay away.

When the coffee machine broke down, the front desk clerk popped it open to fix. It obviously had not been cleaned in decades. Most days, there was nobody at the desk or lobby area. Signs telling patrons to pick up dog poop, not to use towels to clean ATVs/bikes, and to scrape mud off boots attests to their clientele.

This place is average these days. IT use to be great back a few years ago. Nothing really stays the same anymore. Things get better, they stay the same ,or they can go down hill . Darlington Inn seems to sliding Down Hill a bit to me. It is used quite a bit and isn’t new but could some fresher blankets in the rooms and a spare one if you feel a chilly in the nite. More friendly help around at the front desk would also be nice as no one around most of the time. Cups and soap, make up cleaner wipes were only found to be only one left for us to use. Things were however otherwise clean . Towels were more than enough . The shower we thought could have used an extra shot of smell absorption cleaner on the curtain . Now again I’m really not complaining just dropping a few hints to bring up the standards to how it once was here. P.S. there use to be mints left on the pillows . I slept well all night and the other one of us didn’t sleep well. Just goes to show you can can’t please everybody …

Owner/staff are exceptional. Very friendly and helpful. We had a large business meeting at this hotel, and the owner went out of his way to accommodate us, get the meeting room ready, and even bring a fridge to that room. In addition the rooms were very clean and comfortable, breakfast was great. Absolutely recommend this hotel.

The hotel was perfect for what we needed. Close enough from Madison and at a good rate. The only thing is that the hotel doesn't have an elevator, if you are unable to walk stairs you would need to tell them when you book for 1st floor room. Breakfast was good. Staff was super accommodating and let us check in at noon.
