We stayed here for 3 nights during October. The hotel was pretty and clean with nice staff. We had a room overlooking the pool which was great. Our room was very clean and quite large with comfortable beds. The restaurant was wonderful, delicious food and great staff. The shuttle service to the major attractions was great and saved us money.... more

I was originally looking forward to staying here on my tour around California, while I was out there it was great, pool was brilliant, food was classy and well prepared and staff seemed friendly. But it was when I arrived back I realised what had happened. My credit card details had been leaked out, 3 of us used a credit... more

This was the place I was looking forward to but after taking four emails and finally one to the owner to confirm my booking before we left Australia I should have woken up. We arrived around noon and because we were staying for five nights should have been upgraded to poolside rooms. The reception staff (Jose) told us that we... more

This is a pretty good hotel located in San Diego's Hotel Circle. We were there for a group event so our pricing per night was almost half of what was listed on their web page. The hotel is older but seemed to be kept up pretty well. Several nicks and scratches on the furniture but nothing terrible. The bathrooms were... more

We did a lot of study on Trip Advisor and Expedia for all of our stays on our holiday but this stay was very very dissapointing. The good reviews must of been from people staying in the rooms overlooking the pool as they are the only ones worth staying in. The photos on their website are very deceiving and we... more

We stayed here 7 years ago so were familiar with the area which was the sole reason for booking to stay again. The hotel charges $12 dollars per day to park which is really is unacceptable given the large parking facilities. The rooms are dated, small and in need of a makeover. We stayed in the same block (block 4)... more

I stayed at the Handlery with a wedding group. SInce the wedding unfortunately coincided with Comicon weekend, better hotels had already booked up. This is a 50+ year old hotel, one of many along the "Hotel Circle" service roads of I-8 in Mission Valley. Cinder block construction, long dimly lit interior hallways, very plain and uninspired room decor. The room... more

An older hotel which the Handlery family tries to keep up, and while staff is attentive and helpful, the major issue, unfortunately, is noise. Until all walls between rooms are made soundproof, we'd come here again only weeknights. Staff is as helpful as they can be, but with late-night noise from the parking lot/outside balconies, and the noise coming through... more
