Good pick for a weekend rest in San Diego with all in all brilliant value for money. The first floor rooms have direct access to pet relief areas, which is super convenient for service animals. If you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs to block out the noise from the freeway.

the outdoor pool is nice and has security 24/7 which makes it feel safe, the restaurants are decent and bar options are good too. the hotel has a cool old school vibe that actually feels like home unlike some other places that feel too modern and cold.

but the walls are super thin and you can hear everything from the rooms next to you. The elevator situation was really a pain if you had any issues with stairs.

great hotel with amazing poolside bar service and comfortable stay

Clean, friendly staff, great location.

peaceful stay but watch out for nature

I loved how comfy and cozy the Standard King Room felt. The ambiance around the hotel made my solo stay very relaxing.

I encountered a few spiders and moths in the area.

The room was spacious, but the staff seemed unhelpful during my stay.

The staff at Handlery Hotel San Diego were wonderfully attentive and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The pool area was beautifully landscaped and offered a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring the city.

We had a fun time enjoying the outdoor swimming pool and relaxing in the jacuzzi during our stay. While the breakfast was decent, we did notice the noise from the nearby freeway at times, which was a bit distracting. Consider requesting a room on the opposite side if you're a light sleeper! 🌞

Staying at the Handlery Hotel was quite an experience. The location is super convenient, making it easy to access popular San Diego spots. My room was comfortable and clean, which made my stay enjoyable. The staff stood out for their friendly service. they truly went above and beyond during my stay. The restaurant on-site offered a great variety of tasty meals. I particularly enjoyed the huevos rancheros. it was delicious and freshly prepared. However, the parking charges felt hidden. Being charged for parking when I used public transportation was frustrating. A clearer communication about parking fees would definitely improve the experience. Additionally, the hotel's appearance could use some updates. the exterior and common areas felt dated and could benefit from a refresh. Despite these issues, I had a pleasant visit overall. Would consider staying again if improvements are made.

I had an awesome time during my stay! The upgraded suite was such a nice surprise, and enjoying the spa/pool area made it even better. They had a great vibe with live music on Sundays too.

i recently stayed at this hotel and had a great time. the pool area was perfect for lounging, and the staff made my experience feel special with little touches like complimentary snacks. my room was clean and comfortable, exceeding my expectations from prior stays in san diego.

shower pressure was really weak.

Family with kids Not Worth the Hassle

The room was surprisingly clean, like a fresh slate. Had a real nice patio where I could sit and contemplate, you know, life. The beds were decent too, not rock-hard like some places, made for an alright sleep, that’s important.

It wasn’t exactly cheap, but overall acceptable for what we got.

The Premier King Room had a spacious layout and a lovely balcony, perfect for enjoying a cocktail at sunset, despite the view of the parking lot. However, the shower pressure was disappointing, making bathing a longer ordeal. The pool area was nice, but the main building was quite distant from it, which wasn't ideal for a chilly evening dip.

I loved the cute tiki bar and the nice pool! It felt relaxing to chill by the poolside, and they provided pool towels, which was awesome. Plus, the location was a sweet spot, just 12 minutes from the nightlife and 9 minutes from the airport! The room was comfy, perfect for my quick getaway.

Felt almost like at home, no complaints at all.

Friendly staff and amazing breakfast, but no sheers in the room. Otherwise great stay!
