Would highly recommend. Staff is so kind and accommodating, the room has a vintage hotel charm and was comfortable, the heated pool was great for the kiddos, and centrally located so you could get anywhere either by walking or by hopping on the public transit. Thanks for the hospitality!

Purchased two nights online at hotels.com the friday before arriving on monday. I called saturday to check on reservation and they could not find it. They told me they could call me back and never did....arrived at hotel on monday and they could not find reservation. The staff person went in backroom for 30 mins to try to find the reservation....they came back and said the reservation person was not coming in till 3pm. So had to leave luggage at front desk till 3pm. The staff should be more knowledgeable about finding reservations by hotels.com....bad tv reception in room....probably wont stay at the Handlery Hotel again. Thank you!

Average service

Me and my boyfriend arrived an hour early to the hotel to drop our stuff off. When we arrived they said they had a room available for us and they would change the room type from a double bed to a king, we would just have to wait 15 minutes. We gladly accepted and once we got to the room it was completely dirty and the last guests were disgusting as we found blood on towels around the room. We we went downstairs to alert the front desk the shent we were worling with kust said, "oh really?" No apology or anything. He then told us that a clean room would be ready in 10 minutes after 25 minutes if waiting I asked again and he said it would be another 25 minutes. I understand that accidents occur, however if the agent would have told us how lokg it would take we could've just dropped our stuff off and went about our day as we originally planned. However we had to wait for over an hour to finally get a clean room. When i confronted the manager about the wait time, I simply said that no apology was given from any of the staff. He proceded to say, "Ok, but we gave you a free upgrade". We did not ask for the upgrade, it was given to us before we had to wait. Would have raref the front desk 2/5 if it wasnt for one employee who was very nice and understanding.

Location was great for us, a family of four. Garage valet parking was easy and service quick. Hotel rooms were clean and met our needs. Pool was heated and provided an enjoyable activity at the end of a busy day in the city. Our only negative would be the pool cleanliness - tile and bottom of pool have not been cleaned very recently.
