My boyfriend and I stayed here because we were going to Wicked at the theater. I loved our stay here and would definitely stay again for our San Diego trips. The room was super nice. I had let the hotel staff know I was celebrating an early birthday and they gave us a pool facing room which was so sweet of them, the day before we had arrived we were at disneyland so the rest was much needed. The only complaint was that the hotel restaurant was not open. We wanted to have dinner and drinks there before our night out but it was closed. They had another bar towards the pool, but the bar was sticky for having no guests at it. But maybe that's just how all bar tops are. Wished the weather wasn't so cold so we could have enjoyed the pool, it looked so nice. Being next to a mall was convenient too! Overall, the stay was lovely for a one nighter.

Staff was rude, dismissive, non empathetic and overall ruined our trip. We didn’t even want to leave our room because of the attitudes. Pool is a loud party. LOUD. Rooms are disgusting, they don’t do room service. No towels at the pool, parking is outrageous, we ended up leaving and going to another hotel. They ruined our anniversary trip. Stayed at the Hilton and loved

We stayed at **The Handlery Hotel San Diego** for a large family reunion in San Diego and it was the perfect fit for our needs. We had over **20 family members** staying at the hotel, and not a single person had a bad thing to say—which is pretty impressive for a group that size! Yes, the **exterior looks a bit dated**, but don’t let that turn you away. The rooms themselves seem to be either **recently remodeled or in the process of being updated**. Ours was very clean and comfortable, and the **bathroom was spotless**—honestly cleaner than expected. One feature we really appreciated was the **hardwood ceilings**. They added a nice aesthetic touch and, more importantly, helped keep the room quiet. We couldn’t hear a peep from any of the rooms next to us, which made for a peaceful night’s sleep. **Parking was easy and available**, priced at **$24 a night**, which is pretty reasonable for San Diego. We also had **breakfast at the hotel restaurant** and were pleasantly surprised—everything was fresh and delicious. Check in was easy and smooth big shoutout to CJ who is new at the front desk and did amazing job of getting us on the same floor also Latrice for all of her helpful information about the hotel! We will be back
