We stayed at the Handlery over the Memorial weekend in May 2009. The hotel was part of a package deal with Virgin Holidays and it was the second hotel in a series of three that we were staying in in California. On the plus side we liked the room decor and furnishings, the line that could be fixed over the... more

Me and my boyfriend stayed here for 3 nights, he's in the Marines and the Marine Corps ball was at a hotel nearby. We weren't in the hotel too much, but it was very clean and the staff was very helpful. The people at the front desk were very friendly and pointed us in the right direction of the places... more

We were in town for one night and decided to stay somewhere inexpensive. The Handlery had an excellent deal. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was clean, but the bed was awful. The mattress was very hard and I think the pillows were full of small cotton balls made of pumice. I couldn't use them and after fitful,... more

Great value!

This is the second time I've stayed here. We booked in May and only paid $75 per night which is a great deal, especially for the location. I have to admit I was a little worried about the price being so low but when you're in San Diego you don't stay in your room the whole time! The bathroom was... more

We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights (5/9 - 5/12) with a party of 5 adults and 2 children. This was my second visit to San Diego and this time the purpose was for the children to go to Sea World rather than adult stuff. We had a vehicle for our stay so I found the hotel to be... more

Good location, 2 large shopping outlets close by. Within 5 miles of local attractions (the Zoo and Seaworld). Convenient self park facilities, located close to rooms. Clean and well maintained rooms (appearance is more classic rather than trendy, however is tasteful). Staff are very helpful and friendly. The restaraunt has a nice menu and variety of quality meals. Overall good... more

The rooms were clean, quite and had a fridge The parking is a rip off at $12.00 per day but if you stay for a week the... more

Recently stayed at the Handlery for a short weekend getaway - we were not disappointed!! The staff was very friendly - Front Desk, Bellstand, Bartenders, Housekeepers - always a cheerful hello. The rooms were extremely clean and well kept...this is an older hotel but they do a wonderful job maintaining the property. If you are in San Diego to do... more

we stayed here for 3 days during spring break and we were really looking forward to it until we arrived there. When pulling up you think this is not what I expected and then you check in, the people are nice but that is about all. The rooms were little and the beds were rock hard and the comforters were... more
