Wonderful stay! I was traveling thru to head north and decided to stop in MB. Chose the Darlington since it’s family run and I was staying by myself. So glad I did. The young man at the front desk was so sweet. Rooms were super clean and cozy. I was made to feel right at home. It was the off-season so not a lot of guests in the motel, but I found that perfect. It was quiet and I was able to relax and enjoy my time alone. They even called me the morning of my arrival to touch base and offer me an early check in. I will definitely be back and bring my family!

Boy, where do I start? I have been traveling for an out-of state home purchase and have tried various hotels in the past month. This was by far the worst! Definitely outdated and in desperate need of renovations. It was a non-refundable reservation so was stuck there and no about to lose my $80 bucks. I picked this place because it had a high rating on hotels.com. It was over-rated, especially for my off-season booking. I’ve never had a hotel call and some when I was arriving; I knew I had to check- in after 4, so why the call??? Weird. When I checked out I did complain and also found out I was the only guest!?? This is more like a motel. The bed was awful and thin, cheap sheets. Dirty stove drip trays, damp paper towels, poor maintenance, etc.

This was definitely the cleanest room I've stayed in. The big name brand hotels are never this clean. This stay was during the "off season", so not many guests. Was nice and quiet abd great priced. The staff was nice and friendly and made sure you had enough clean toiletries daily. And, the beach was just across the street. Will stay here everytime.

Upon checking in I told them that my step brother was going to be with me and if needed would pay for the room if needed more than the 1 night because I wouldn't be around during the day. I received a call from my brother informing me that we were just kicked out because my little sister showed up and had her luggage. She was going to wait until jer room was available where she booked hers at. Never called me, never returned my 2 calls. Something about my step brother being a different color than me ( I didnt like).

The staff were extremely courteous, friendly, and helpful. They were open to any suggestions and are quick to accommodate when communicated to. The building is old with some paint and repair going on. But it was a nice room and I had a good view of the beach right across from my balcony. Good price for the stay. May The Most High bless you!

Charming family-owned beachfront motel located right on the main strip. It’s an older property, but very well maintained and exceptionally clean. Has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed a beautiful ocean view from our 4th-floor room and would definitely stay here again!

Love love love this place. Stopped in on my way up north and so glad I did. Small family run motel with excellent customer service! Had everything I needed for my quick stay including a small kitchen. Super clean (which is very important to me) and comfy beds. Balcony was great and the ocean view was amazing! Pool looked nice but wasn’t able to try it out this time. They gave me an early checkin and a late checkout, even offered to drive me to the airport :). I love supporting small businesses and the Darlington will be my go to in the future! PS-they have a lot of beach cottages also if you have a larger group. Thanks for the wonderful stay!

The property is well dated. As in old. Office closed right after we checked in around 3pm. Did not have shampoo in the room so had to wait till next morning. Toilet would not flush completely. Toilet tank did not fill enough to properly flush. Had to remove the lid and manually hold down float to fill the tank before each use. Hot water took at least 3 minutes to get hot. Bed mattresses were horrible. Sign on the wall in kitchedette warned of a charge for dirty dishes left after chech. Sink stopper did not hold water in the sink to wash those dishes. If you wanted to sleep in, forget it. The room windows face east and the blinds are inadequate to block the morning sun shining through. Would not recommend this hotel as there are newer properties down the street at better rates.
