Handys Extended Stay Suites

handys was exceptional place to stay while my wife was in the hospital struggling with leukemia.. the front desk manager would give you the shirt off her back. the hotel needs updating but it was very clean and comfortable. if you dont have what you need just ask. there is just one person who runs the front desk so just keep trying or we left a message and they promptly will return your call.dont believe all you hear. some people are just never happy..

1. We reserved a suite with a fold out couch. Once we checked in to the room it was not what we reserved. I asked that our account be credited the difference. This was two weeks ago. Our account stil has not been credited. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. 2. My daughter reserverved a block of rooms for wedding guests. Once she realized the rooms would not be needed, she called to cancel her reservation. They still charged her credit card $400.00. The person she spoke to never gave her a cancellation number. She made the cancelations within72 hours of the reservations. Don't rush to make your reservations!

They sold this place to us as being fully furnished with all the untensils we would need for an extended stay during our month long relocation. Well sure, there was one cup, one coffee mug, one fork, one knife, two spoons, a plate, a bowl, no cutting board, a non functional can opener. And a very unprofessional manager (Kat) who leaves her shoes in the hallway outside her own unit and never answers the phone inherher office. I wouldn't give them myh money again.

Handy's was exactly what my husband and I were hoping to find for a long vacation in the Burlington area. The full kitchen helped us keep our costs down - and allowed us to avoid the problems of eating restaurant food 3 times a day for 8 days. The staff were great, although we didn't see much of them. The manager was very nice - providing tips on local restaurants and allowing us to store our bicycles in our rooms when we weren't out with them. The air conditioning worked well, letting us get the room to a nice temperature for sleeping (loved the ceiling fan over the bed!) and it was QUIET at night with the windows closed. There was construction on the roads nearby some evenings, but with the windows closed and the air conditioning on, we slept right through it. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Clean, quiet, great location right off I-89 and friendly atmosphere. Really let us imagine we had our own apartment to come and go from.
