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!

The pictures were deceiving the rooms were not what we were expecting. The beds are not queens as stated in the reservation they are more like a full size. There was a smell in the room and the lobby, the sheets and curtains were stained aswell. The fridge was not even cold. The AC was very noisy. The zoo was listed that was closer than it actually was. Plus we had to pay for parking which is something we haven’t done at other nicer properties.

Exceptional Staff / Front Desk Experience

This hotel experience was exceptional because of the staff (thanks Pamela!) and care they took to ensure our stay was the best possible. I was there for Comic-Con and through the chaos we had a shuttle that ran every 15-20 minutes, a room with comfortable pillows and a view of the pool, reasonable parking and really great coffee. The room was fine, older but comfortable. My one complaint is the coffee was not great and no fresh half and half! But other than that, I was beyond impressed with the staff and the experience.
