Beautiful hotel with great history

Incredible hotel and beautiful bar but the standard room is tiny and it’s always freezing cold inside the hotel. Great location and you can walk to everything. $60 per night for car storage was a little much.

There wasn’t much of a bar and restaurant. ( I didn’t see a restaurant). The Gaslamp area was very busy, yet the Horton Hotel bar was dead. The room was clean, cozy, and quiet. Great location.

We loved our stay at the Horton Grand.Our room was CLEAN, COMFORTABLE, SAFE, and exactly as advertised. This historic hotel has a wonderful and friendly staff. The building is beautiful, especially in the bar, and oozing with historic charm. Despite the age of the building, there was no lack of modern comfort or amenities. The Wifi was strong and our room was very comfortable and secure. Situated in the heart of the Gaslamp area, we were not short of options to dine or shop. The tram is only two blocks away and gave us access to the Little Italy neighbourhood with ease. San Diego is very walkable from this hotel but the tram made it a little easier. Within just a couple of blocks of Petco Park, The Coronado ferry, The Convention Centre, and the Midway Museum. Being this close to all the action did expose us to the noise that downtown in a major city will have. If you are seeking a quieter stay, the hotel has a courtyard with rooms on the inside that I'm sure are much quieter than our room on the street side was for whiskey Wednesday across the street. Our windows muffled it significantly so I was fine.
