My stay at Handlery Hotel had its ups and downs. The highlight was certainly the incredible customer service; I felt truly valued during my visit. However, the issues I faced with my room's access and the difficulty surrounding my refund were quite frustrating. Overall, it's a mixed bag, as I appreciated the lovely atmosphere but encountered some significant hiccups.

Our stay at the Handlery Hotel was a mixed bag. While the location was excellent, providing easy access to attractions, and the room, although dated, was quiet and comfortable, we had some disappointments as well. The breakfast options fell short of expectations, and the service at the restaurant wasn't as warm as hoped. The price we paid made it somewhat worthwhile, but I would think twice about returning at full price.

The venue was largely excellent for our convention, with friendly, knowledgeable staff and a great breakfast included in the price. The pool area was quite appealing, but the dining options were limited, and the air conditioning in the room could have been more effective. While the convention rate was good, the overall dining facilities fell short considering the number of attendees.

The Handlery Hotel offers a cozy, family-like atmosphere and has recently renovated rooms that are charming, though some plumbing issues were apparent. Juan at the cafe was a standout, ensuring we had everything we needed during breakfast. The hotel's shuttle service had some hiccups, and the room could use better maintenance. Overall, it was a decent stay, especially for the price, but there are areas that need improvement.

My stay at Handlery was quite the mixed bag. While the hotel itself was clean and well-kept, I experienced significant frustration with customer service, particularly regarding my checkout process and refund request. The atmosphere felt a bit chaotic at times, detracting from what could have been a pleasant experience. It seems like there are both positive aspects like cleanliness and some serious customer service issues that need addressing.
Rooms
