Handlery Hotel

Handlery Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"There was no continental breakfast (from what I was told when I called) but that’s okay because San Diego had many options around to try. My complaint, though would be that when I called, I was told parking was $20/night, but when arriving, I was notified that it was $24/night. I was not pleased with this change."
