Handlery Hotel

The ac in room didn’t work. The outdoor pool was amaazing

Furniture needs updating- very 70’s ish

Older hotel infrastructure but updated and nice enough for a conference stay. I didn’t use the pool but the lounge and restaurant were both good. I would recommend to stay again.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The property is in a great location and everything looks well maintained.

Bad overall

The room is nice and clean, they have a nice pool. And I come here just for event.

My family is local from San Diego. We were having a staycation due to a home fumigation. The staff was friendly and quick. The property is nicely maintained and quiet. Would recommend and we will return!

Extremely loud event was on through out the hotel, no communication about this. TV didn’t work. Staff

Heat place for a quick layover

very nice

It’s an older hotel and no elevator! Not for the disabled! Not disabled friendly! Layout is confusing. You pay for parking! Restaurant ok but pricey, it is San Diego! Pool could have been warmer. Hot tub was great! Hallways are smelly. Like I said it’s older hotel. Balcony was nice to have but the place is definitely falling apart. Do not jump on the balcony if you are heavy! We were a large group going to Sea World, looking to stay within budget. We got about 5 rooms and had small children with us. Really nothing for them to do! Vending machines took our money and didn’t deliver! Staff did not speak English! Was ok for 1 night!

The Handlery is evidently an older property due for a facelift and renovation. The pool was nice, though I was looking forward to an actual swim up bar. The rooms are adequate, but could use a bit more deeper cleaning. There was a commotion in our building where we had to deal with noise disturbance by an irate guest. Front desk did say they were handling it.

Definitely not a premium room, the room was dirty the property was also dirty

We’re do I begin, the hotel itself was not bad but the what did it for me was not being told that there was an adult anime convention happening there the whole time I was there! Not when I was booking or at check in. To be honest i probably wouldn’t mind it since we family doesn’t judge but you had people dressed in costume walking around practically naked if not and it wasn’t just the females. We were hanging out by the pool before 10:00 PM and there was people recording what looked professional and girls getting naked, I had my 4 and 8 year old boys with me. My 8 year old went to the bathroom by the lobby and ran out scared because there was an old man in a nun outfit wearing a wig and a choker. I have a long list of events like that. The evenings were the worst!! There was no noise level control. We heard people screaming all night long

No elevator to 2nd floor and front desk staff was not empathetic or polite

Very nice hotel and great price! We loved the heated pool and jacuzzi. They even have happy hour for food and drinks by the pool! We loved the atmosphere.

My family reserved a total of six rooms for my niece’s graduation weekend, unaware that the hotel was hosting an adult anime-themed event during the same dates. Throughout our stay, the atmosphere was loud, and the constant activity in the hallways made many of us feel uncomfortable and unsafe. On our final night, we even had to contact hotel security because one of our rooms was located directly outside the conference area where the event was being held. Unfortunately, our family was repeatedly exposed to inappropriate behavior and attire. One evening, around 9:45 PM, we entered the pool area intending to spend a few minutes there before closing. Instead, we witnessed a topless woman filming adult content in the hot tub. On another occasion, we observed a couple in costume walking through the lobby, with one individual leading the other on a leash in a highly inappropriate manner while our family was gathered nearby for food and drinks. While we understand this is a public hotel and that various events may be hosted on the property, families should be informed when adult-oriented events are taking place. Had we known about this event in advance, we would have chosen a different hotel for our stay. The lack of transparency regarding the nature of this event resulted in an extremely disappointing experience during what should have been a special family celebration.

Unfortunately I recently became handicapped, and although the staff did set us up in a handicapped room, it had a full size bed which made for a very uncomfortable stay. I checked out early because of this, and was told to just call Expedia to get a refund. The staff failed to say I needed to do that the same day I checked out, so the Handlery in essence took my money. I will not be back.

This is the third time I stayed at this hotel and every single time I am put in the farthest building from the main hotel at the far end of the large parking lot. This makes the it feel more like a motel as there are no amenities out there, the rooms are ok but not that nice and you can hear neighbors through the walls. Also my last visit I asked if I could switch to a handicap room because it turned out I had a cast on my arm and would find it difficult to use the fixed shower head. They didn't even try to accommodate just said it wasn't what I booked and paid for already.

The bathroom door didn't lock, the iron was broken. There was a lot of traffic in the mornings as far as maintenance guys, trucks, and commotion make sure you don't get an end unit number 226 is probably the worst room there.
