The property was about what we expected, good stay for the price. Friendly and helpful service, clean facilities. Bathrooms are a bit small (limited counter space). I would recommend bringing own pillows, the hotel’s were too flat for my liking.

Not a great experience

Well, first the entry to the parking lot was blocked by cones. I drove around the block but didn't find another entrance, so I went around the cones. Upon check-in i was delighted to find out there was an extra $25 fee for parking in their vast empty lot. I was assigned a room next to the loudest humans on earth, which was strange because the hotel seemed to be mostly empty. My room had enormous windows facing east into the sunrise, so after my loud neighbors woke me at 6am, i had to pack up in the dark because the glare off the car outside my window was eye piercing and there weren't sheers to block people seeing in. I stay in SD a lot, but that's probably my last time at Handlery.

First, let me start with the pros: The rooms were clean. Front desk staff and security guard were very nice and helpful. Restaurant and Bar were nice. Hotel was in a great location: Close to shopping, dining and a quick drive to SDSU, SeaWorld and beaches. Now the Cons: No elevator. Very worn and needs major renovation. It has potential but really needs a facelift. Parking was a nightmare. They had 2 different conventions going on, so all of the parks were taken. I had to park at the very back of the hotel, far away from our room which was kind of scary. On the day we were checking out, housekeeping kept coming to our room multiple times early in the morning trying to get us to leave. It was annoying because check out wasn't until 11. We tried explaining that to them, but they didn't seem to understand English.

It is a place to stay for a short stay

Facilities are fairly well maintained. There was a rug smell when you enter the room, probably related to the humidity and carpet cleaners used. Price of coffee was way too high. Parking lot was large and charge is comparable to other hotels in the area.
