During your San Diego vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

Spreckels Organ Pavilion
Given to San Diego citizens in 1914 by brothers John D. and Adolph Spreckels, the ornate, curved pavilion houses a magnificent organ with 4,518 individual pipes. They range in length from the size of a pencil to more than 32 feet. With only brief interruptions, the organ has been in continuous use, and today visitors can enjoy free hour-long concerts on Sundays at 2pm, given by civic organist Dr. Carol Williams. There's seating for 2,400, but little shade, so bring an umbrella on warm days.

Torrey Pines State Reserve
The rare Torrey pine tree grows in only two places in the world: Santa Rosa Island, 175 miles northwest of San Diego, and here, at the north end of La Jolla. Even if the twisted shape of these awkwardly beautiful trees doesn't lure you to this spot, the equally scarce undeveloped coastal scenery should. The city first donated 369 acres as a public park, and the 1,750-acre reserve was established in 1921, from a gift by Ellen Browning Scripps. The reserve encompasses the beach below, as well as a lagoon immediately north, but the focus is the 300-foot-high, water-carved limestone bluffs, which provide a precarious footing for the trees. In spring, the wildflower show includes bush poppies, Cleveland sage, agave, and yucca. A half-dozen trails (all under 1 1/2 miles in length) travel from the road to the cliff edge or down to the beach, and there's a small visitor center, built in the traditional adobe style of the Hopi Indians and featuring a lovely 12-minute video about the park. Watch for migrating gray whales in winter, or dolphins who patrol these shores year-round. For a taste of what Southern California's coast looked like a couple hundred years ago, this delicate spot is one of San Diego's unique treasures. Note: There are no facilities for food or drinks inside the park -- bring a picnic lunch.

San Diego Natural History Museum
This museum focuses on the flora, fauna, and mineralogy of Southern and Baja California. Kids marvel at the animals they find here, including live snakes, tarantulas, and turtles. As a binational museum, research is done on both sides of the border and most exhibits are bilingual. You can see them all in about half an hour. Call or check the museum's website for a current schedule of special visiting exhibits. There's a 300-seat large-format movie theater, and two films are included in the price of admission.

Great Location, Great Hotel

Justin, 2006-10-12

You have Fashion Valley Mall within a very short walk. Also, Old Town a very short drive about 10-15 minutes away.

The Handlery Hotel and Resort was a very good hotel and located within walking distance of a mall with all the major stores. I also found plenty of dining options within a ten minute drive. The hotel room itself was clean and had comfortable accommodations. The bathroom was standard and was a bit small but good overall. The only concern I had was the bathroom showed signs of age and the faucet had a constant leak. However, it was not something that would make me not stay at this hotel again.

GOOD RESTAURENTS ONLY 5-10 MIN AWAY BY CAR.

IN GENERAL THIS HOTEL NEEDS A COMPLETE MAKEOVER ESPECIALLY THE ROOMS THEMSELVES. IT HAS A 50's LOOK. ALSO THEY CHARGED A $10 PARKING FEE PER NIGHT.

Handlery Hotel and Resort

Anonymous, Newark, NJ, 2005-07-05

The Handlery Hotel and Resort has a good location near many shopping areas and downtown San Diego but it is not what I would consider a resort as it is not secluded and is within spitting distance from I-8. The hotel staff was courteous, responsive, and friendly. Housekeeping did a decent job of keeping the room clean. However, the room did feel a little bit cramped, there was not much sound isolation from other rooms, and the TV was very small.
