Very accommodating!
We had a great time at the Handlery! We were on our honeymoon, and had mentioned that when booking (by telephone), but we hadn't asked for any special room. When we arrived, the management had set us up with probably one of the best rooms in the hotel - with complimentary champagne! 
The best rooms are the ones facing the south - with the balconies. There are many others which surround a noisy inner swimming pool - which kids might enjoy.
The location, just off busy Union Square, is great for walking, shopping and getting transit - but not for driving or parking. 
Thanks to The Handlery!
