Handlery Hotel

8/10 Good
"The staff from the restaurant were amazing!!! They went above and beyond!!! I forgot there names but it was a female and two males working when we ate at the restaurant, we ate there three times. They were so nice, polite and so attentive!!! Pamela lady from the front desk when we checked out she was so rude and had a mean face didn’t even greet us at all and I asked her a couple of questions didn’t even answered me at all I asked her if I was getting my invoice thru email didn’t even answer me either. Just so rude"
