10/10 Excellent
"This was my second stay and Handlery and I'm telling you, the Premium Queen room is the way to go! Way bigger than the Standard Double with floor space, also came with a nice chair, little bench, desk, full wall of windows leading out to a small patio overlooking the pool, plus a large vanity outside the restroom and a closet. We will absolutely be choosing this room type from now on, even though it is a little bit of a maze to find it since it is in the back of the property and you do need to climb one set of stairs to get to the elevator. Great location and let my group be and have some fun during our weekend!"
