“Dawson House impressed me with its blend of modern style and home-like convenience near Darlington's heart. The self-catering kitchen is a boon, while the proximity to the train station and town center is a definite plus. Though some noise from other guests was reported, the updated rooms and easy check-in make it a solid choice for independent travelers.”
