Top San Diego County Hotel Reviews

Handlery Hotel

Handlery Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Rooms were clean, a bit outdated but very clean and helpful staff constantly cleaning around hotel. Staff was also extremely friendly and accommodating. Pool was awesome and perfect for the kiddos after a day in the sun. They have the pool equipped with a bunch of beach balls,floaties, pool noodles , and music which made it more fun for the kids. Bar was great too. Overall a great hotel that is close to tourist attractions. Will definitely be staying here again."
