Beautiful resort. The spa is fantastic,the view restaurant was delicious for both breakfast and dinner. Great marked trails for walks in the woods. Parking was full, all the time. Our room was a little dark, would be nice if the bathroom had better lighting.

The Handlery is a great option in Union Square for a quick weekend getaway. While it does not have the amenities of a five star, if you have kids, the heated outdoor pool is a huge plus. The place is definitely dated and can use some upgrades/renovations.

The entire experience from the moment we pulled up was incredible. The Front Desk was incredibly helpful and very kind. They made it very easy to check in and we’re very accommodating with an early arrival. But I must say that Jacob, the valet extraordinaire, was probably our best individual experience that we could have asked for. He was smart, very respectful, knowledgeable, and was quick with everything. He was able to care more about our experience and you can tell how genuine he was with his smile and positive attitude. He’s an exceptional human being, and it needed to be singled out.

The trees are pretty but the resort is full of convention goers and it’s crowded and loud. Our room really far from lobby so hard to gather with friends. Floors really dirty. Staff nice but service was really slow in restaurant.
