Clean room, very nice staff, love that they have a hot tub. Enjoyed the bar area and the bartender was so nice. The lobby and lounge area looks very nice and inviting, didn't get to try the restaurant but still next time. We liked the old school feel of the property.

The Handlery Hotel stay was great. Rooms were clean and the pool area was open even with the Rain on new year’s 2026. We got food and drinks from their pool area bar at a good price, the food was great. It’s a little outdated and it could use some upgrades or amenities added, but it had the San Diego look. One thing I would say is take out the Daily parking fee that is not added until you check in. Will I go again, yes. Close to old town, La Jolla, little Italy, and Downtown/Balboa Park which we visited and came back if we got wet. Also check out Bronx Pizza nearby. You won’t regret it.

No microwaves in your room, they are in the lobby..
2 mini short rib Sopes. They were great.
Truffle fries. Not full, but good taste.

The grounds were lovely, being an older property the landscaping was nice. But I am hard of hearing, and the closed caption did not work on the TV. More importantly, when the TV was turned on it defaulted to Fox News. I will not return for this reason
