Handlery Hotel

Handlery Hotel

8/10 Good
"The staff was extremely helpful regarding that only the property but giving suggestions on where to go and what to do. The lobby was a little musty smelling but other than that everything else was perfect so I have no complaints in that area. The only thing I was a little perturbed about was that on three different occasions when talking to the hotel staff, prior to arriving, if they had adjoining rooms, which I was told they did not however we had Rooms next to each other where we can go in and out from the balcony part side, and as it turns out the balcony wall that connects the two rooms was a wall in the area that looked like it had once been a door. So the family had to keep going into the hallway using their key card and although not a real big problem, since I was the one who made the inquiries and was told that we could go in and out of each other’s rooms via the balcony and since I was paying for these rooms, I was a little perturbed that I was given incorrect information, but as I said, it wasn’t a real big problem and everything was excellent other than that"
