San Diego, California: Electric Nightlife and Historical Attractions

San Diego's sunny, comfortably warm weather and 70 miles of coastline have long attracted out-of-towners, but the city's inland scene is no slouch, either. The Gaslamp Quarter is arguably the trendiest listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The area forms both the historic center of town and a hub of nightlife, with nearly 100 Victorian-era buildings occupied by high-end boutiques and gourmet restaurants.

A stroll through iconic Balboa Park takes you past 17 museums, as well as the world-famous San Diego Zoo. There's also the vibrant Spanish Village Art Center, a living gallery where local artists produce pottery and oil paintings. In Old Town, shops in Mission-style stucco buildings sell colorful woven baskets and maracas. Nearby stands the Whaley House Museum, dubbed one of the Most Terrifying Places in America by the Travel Channel. Ghosts of former residents are said to inhabit the rooms, which are filled with Victorian furniture and eerie dolls.

Handlery has very friendly staff. We couldn't take advantage of the pool due to cold weather but the room was nice.

How to improve? Does anybody care? Staying at this hotel now - on a quick trip from Arizona to discover Sand Diego. The hotel is fine, but dated. We’re traveling with e-bikes so I requested a ground floor room since there are no elevators here and no storage area for bikes, so we need to store them in the room. By luck, we were assigned a room that has a grass area off the patio, so we can wheel the bikes to the patio and store them there. Fortunately, the hotel is fairly quiet because nobody has been above or in a neighboring room - when someone was there, you can hear everything. The breakfast included is good, but you’re limited to 3 choices from the menu which is odd since everything costs about the same amount=- what would it matter what you order? Carmen the hostess is charming - a glimmer of light amongst the others who don’t seem to care about anything. Downsides. 1) the room is dated - we spilled something on the carpet and after we wiped it up, the washcloth was dingy. The carpet in this room is filthy. 2). I booked the hotel for location and the hot tub, but it is now roped off and has been closed for half our stay. When we ask the front desk, they just say it’s closed. Why wouldn’t this be a priority? Overall an ok stay, but could easily be improved.

Great experience for a birthday trip My boyfriend and I stayed here because we were going to Wicked at the theater. I loved our stay here and would definitely stay again for our San Diego trips. The room was super nice. I had let the hotel staff know I was celebrating an early birthday and they gave us a pool facing room which was so sweet of them, the day before we had arrived we were at disneyland so the rest was much needed. The only complaint was that the hotel restaurant was not open. We wanted to have dinner and drinks there before our night out but it was closed. They had another bar towards the pool, but the bar was sticky for having no guests at it. But maybe that's just how all bar tops are. Wished the weather wasn't so cold so we could have enjoyed the pool, it looked so nice. Being next to a mall was convenient too! Overall, the stay was lovely for a one nighter.
