Overpriced dining of mediocre quality. No lobby coffee! Room w balcony overlooking pool courtyard ok for the price. Pool large enough for lap swimming. An older hotel so carpets and furnishings worn.

Best Value on Hotel Circle

While it’s an older property, I love The Handlery, I stay here often. The bar/lounge is a hidden gem. The pool area is as pretty as the pictures. And the price is usually very reasonable. Will continue to come back!
