This was our return stay, and my family enjoyed our clean room. The staff was so nice and even offered my toddler a balloon while we waited for our to-go breakfast. Their coffee and crunchy French toast were superb!

I had a phenomenal stay at Handlery Hotel San Diego! From the moment I arrived, all my needs were met and then some. Any little issue that came up was handled with care and professionalism, the team truly went above and beyond to make my stay exceptional. A special thank you to Pamela at the front desk she is incredibly efficient and genuinely cares about the guest experience. Her warmth and expertise set the tone for my entire visit. I also want to thank Christina for being amazing, she helped make every part of my stay even better. The overall manager is doing a great job running the hotel and fostering such a welcoming environment. I would definitely stay here again — this experience was absolutely memorable!

The room was clean and looked great! Would’ve loved the rooms near the pool with the balcony as it was an amazing view. Although the beds were a little hard, and the long pillow on the beds were kinda dirty but the regular white pillows were fine. The pool was cold although it was advertised to be heated. But! The pool and hot tub were clean and the view around was gorgeous! Other than that I would definitely come back because the staff were very very helpful and the location was great!
The walkways around the place are beautiful!
