“Handlery Hotel San Diego is a family-owned property near Balboa Park that strikes me as a practical choice, though some aspects need refreshing. I think the location is a real asset, plus the heated pool is a solid amenity. It's a business-friendly option, but based on some reports, I'd advise confirming room details carefully.”
