My husband and I stayed here for our 14th wedding anniversary. For the price, it is charming and pretty romantic if you book a room with a fireplace and balcony. We had a view of the city which was lovely. The staff was very polite and helpful! I was disappointed that there was only one thin blanket on the bed so I was either freezing or hot since I had to turn the heater on. I hate those nasty comforters hotels usually put on the beds so I guess I shouldn't complain. The TV was awful and kept showing "no signal" for most of the channels. Other than that we enjoyed our stay. I'll definitely bring

We love our stay. You have to understand that it is a charming historical building, so room and bathroom sizes can be a little small. I think that adds to the atmosphere. The only thing I would suggest would usb charging stations in the rooms as they have few outlets. It was the cleanest room we stayed in on the east coast.

The hotel is historic site and is beautiful. However the service and upkeep of the rooms was not great. Due to covid there were suspended services, like daily room cleaning, however we were not informed of this at the time of booking or at check-in. The location is great to explore Gaslamp and good access to local transport.

Absolutely love this boutique hotel! We have been here a few times in the past 10 years. Fireplace, balcony, big comfy King bed and in the Gaslamp Quarter, who could ask for more? Small fridge with freezer, coffee maker no microwave. Always clean, fabulous customer service
Downfall, no parking on site but everything is within walking distance.

It was a mixed experience for us during our 4 night stay at Horton Grand over New Years. We picked a room with a fireplace which was decent. The balcony looked out into the courtyard but since there were tables set out for other restaurant guests, we were not comfortable stepping out. Since this is a heritage property, we chose to stay for the experience and location of Gaslamp Quarters. But the front desk folks were bit cold and didnt give us all the info. After two days we realised that there is no in-room cleaning due to Covid. We had to specifically ask for the trash to be cleaned and toiletries

My wife and I stayed here Dec 20-23, and we loved it. Walking into the hotel we saw the beautifully decorated Christmas tree, and made our way to the Front Desk where Ken checked us in quickly. It was obvious he took pride in his hotel, as well he should. All the staff were very helpful and courteous. We soaked up the atmosphere and charm of this wonderful historic hotel. Our balcony overlooked the courtyard with Christmas trees. The hotel is pet friendly, and our dog loved lying on the balcony. We had a delicious breakfast twice in the Salt and Whiskey which is part of the Horton Grand. We
