Excellent Value
A bit THANK YOU to the staff and dining assistants at the Handlery Hotel staff for their kindness and professionalism. My flight to San Diego arrived VERY early Monday morning and I had a number of Zoom meetings for work and for an international conference here in town. The staff graciously allowed me to check in to my room early at no extra charge so I could rest up after a grueling flight and hold my meetings. A special thank you to PAMELA for arranging me to stay in a lovely room overlooking the courtyard swimming pool at my request and at no extra charge. I understand the hotel was constructed in the 50s. There are a number of lovely design details which are usually reserved for more expensive hotels. This hotel is very good value for money.
Excellent Service
I just wanted to give a shout out to the check in person by the name of Pamela. She was exceptional, and I watched her check in several people as I was waiting in the lobby. She not only explained how everything worked as far as check out and while you’re staying there, she also made recommendations for Sightseeing, etc. In this day and time service like this is rare
Perfect Location
Thank you for making our wedding anniversary so memorable! The room, sheets, and overall atmosphere were spotless, and we loved relaxing in the pool and hot tub. The location was perfect—right in the heart of everywhere we wanted to explore in San Diego. Thank you for an incredible experience!
