It’s all very good. Very clean, quiet and friendly staff. My only issue is that I paid additional for an upgraded room with the view, but only ended up with a view of the parking lot. Other than that, I didn’t have any issues.

When I mentioned the rooms were supposed to be they stated “well this is all I have.” Very dismissive. I understand not always promised however it was very disappointing.

I recently stayed at the Handlery Hotel and was disappointed with several issues. The rooms are very outdated and definitely didn’t match the photos— I honestly felt a bit catfished. The beds were extremely uncomfortable and didn’t even have fitted sheets, which made it hard to get any real rest. Another issue was the ice machine area. Every time I tried to get ice, a group of employees were gathered right in front of it, talking and hanging out. None of them moved or acknowledged me, so I had to squeeze by just to use the machine. It felt unprofessional and inconsiderate. Overall, the experience didn’t meet expectations, and I hope management takes this feedback seriously so future guests don’t run into the same problems.
