My wife and I spent a week in San Diego at the Handlery (Jan 21st to Jan. 28th, 2012). We booked a room with a king sized bed. It was on the main floor and by the pool. The hotel staff were friendly and helped us with our travel plans in San Diego. One of the hotel's pluses besides a... More

We enjoyed our stay at at the Handlery. The room was very clean and quiet (even with the interstate nearby). A great plus was the free shuttle to Balboa Park, SeaWorld and Old Town. Drivers Jeff and Rich both went out of their way to make our stay fun and accommodate to our needs. Appreciated the complimentary newspaper available at... More

We stayed for four nights for a business trip and had a great stay, although the hotel is probably better suited to holiday makers. The rooms are tradiitonal but have everything you need and the staff were more than happy to bring anything we needed from extra coat hangers to a Blackberry charger. The pool area is lovely and spacious... More

We enjoyed our stay at the Handlery, food in the bar was good and reasonably priced. Traveling to and from the hotel in the shuttle gave us good access and the driver Rich was friendly and a great source of local information. Close by the Cheesecake factory at Fashion valley is well worth the visit for Aussies. More

The hotel/resort was very nice. The concierge staff and bus driver was extremely friendly and helpful. The only "bad" thing about the resort is that there are very limited options for food close by. The resort is on a strip of hotels. So there is really only hotel restaurants/bars to eat at. Is close to Fashion Valley which was a... More

First time at this property. It is a very old property one of the first in Mission Valley, saw some pictures in the lobby from the 40s. With that being said it is very well kept up and was clean everywhere we looked. Staff was friendly, restaurant was very good and the price was reasonable. You know you are in... More

My family just got back from a week in San Diego last week, and we really liked this hotel/resort. We were lucky that it was not busy, so we basically had the heated pool and the hot tub to ourselves most days. The pool area was very clean and tidy.
