This is a great hotel for those that don’t want to pay the higher price of a downtown hotel and all the fees attached. The Handlery is an older property, but it is exceptionally clean(very comfy beds) and close to all the San Diego attractions. The staff was helpful, nice pool and there are restaurants and bars on property. There is also a large mall and plenty of offsite restaurants near by. I highly recommend this hotel if you want a nice place to stay at a reasonable rate.

Nice hotel. I would stay again. There was a bar and restaurant at the hotel with limited but nice food options. If you wanted other options and no transport its an uber around.

We were on the second floor overlooking the freeway. Very noisy. There are no elevators (which may have been disclosed and I missed it.) The ice machine was on the first floor down a long hallway outside. Though we had a premier king room The bathroom was tiny with no counter space at all to place toiletries. Water pressure in shower was not good. The bed was comfortable. The pool area was very nice. The jacuzzi however was barely warm and had scum around the tiles. Landscaping was beautiful. Nice bar service from the pool bar and the bartender Jesus was very friendly and accommodating as were all of the staff we came in contact with. Overall was adequate for an overnight stay but not where I’d stay for vacation.

The hotel overall is nice. No complaints about the cleanliness of the facility at all. There were heavy rains the second night I was there and my roof was leaking. Was moved to a different room. Overheard another guest experiencing the same issue so perhaps facility improvements are needed, but the staff was helpful in fixing it. I was placed in a new room on the very far end of the hotel property. It’s a pretty large property. The only two complaints I have are that 1) the key cards kept failing for no reason (four times during my four night visit) which required me returning to the reception desk from my room on the opposite side of the property multiple times to have the cards fixed, and 2) although I had a do not disturb sign on my door, the room service staff knocked on my door almost every day. I wouldn’t care normally, but was working overnights when there and sleeping during the day so it was a disruption. The hotel may wish to look at that. Overall, it’s definitely a decent hotel. I visit San Diego every week and have stayed at many hotels in the area. I may stay at this one again if on a discount, but for the normal rate probably will not as other options are similar at a better value.

Older, clean, but had to ask for too many things (like towels for the pool and explaining the parking and breakfast; apparently’available’ means they have a lot, but you have to pay. Same with breakfast ‘available’.)

There was a lot i wish i wilould have been made aware of befor rentinting a room. Biggest one no elevators, and we were upstairs. No room service, if you call the desk they cant leave from behind the counter to tell the restaurant right next. to them scramble an egg they missed in your order so that when you get there it will be at least cooking. You will have to run back and forth to where you need to go in the hotel, it was hard with 2 seniors which one is handy capped and a child. They could not accommedate us with a downstairs room because they did not have the same room we reserved downstairs is what i was told. So my mom took a good 10 minutes to go up and down the stairs. Just wish i was aware of this before reserving the room. Also Expedia charged me 40 dollars for a extra guest, i dont know why, we had 4 people and 2 beds, the hotel said they dont do that. So it was not easy.

Hotel is in a great location. Easy walk tk Fashion Valley and local transit station giving access to Old Town and San Diego. Great pool area with plenty of sunbeds and tables. Limited menu in restaurant but food was good with fully stocked bar. They charge for parking but no resort fee and decent WiFi speed. Would certainly stay again.

I stayed here for a convention at the Town & Country Convention Center. Perfect distance for walking to the T&C. Property is dated but in a very cool way. Like stepping back into the 60's or 70's. Room was a good size, VERY clean and comfortable bed. I was on the 2nd level (no elevators) and the room had very large windows with great black out curtains. Would stay again if in the area and would recommend if you like the retro feel.
