The facility is amazing- tons of history and architectural stunning detail. Staff was very helpful and friendly. The location is great right in the heart of the Gaslamp District. The hotel room itself we stayed in was a little dated and in need of a 're-fresh' (not sure if other rooms or other areas of the hotel are as dated). However, I would definitely stay here again and will likely be my go to the next time I'm in San Diego.

Enjoyable stay at the Horton grand. Great location in the Gas Lamp district. 5 min walk to convention center as well as numerous places to eat and enjoy. Would highly recommend and will stay there on my next visit to San Diego. I didn't eat in the Hotel so cannot rate that.

The hotel itself was incredibly beautiful. I was very underwhelmed with the room and amenities. The shower was awful. Barely a trickle of pressure and hot water was short lived. The fireplace was a disappointment as well because I was looking forward to having a lovely fire but instead, it was a nightlight. Very mediocre toiletries. Again, BEAUTIFUL hotel and bar, but room left lots to be desired.

I loved this boutique hotel. The price point was great for the location to Petco Park. We were able to check in early which made the day way easier and having valet parking was super convenient. Would definitely stay again.

Excellent hotel. Came into town for an event at petco park. Was perfectly located. Hotel was immaculate and beautiful. It was also a great value. I got a suite with a balcony for the cost of a tiny basic room at a big chain hotel.

Valet is $59 and when you book they don’t tell you about the resort fees. Got woken up at 330 in the morning by people fighting in the hallway. Didn’t fall asleep until 530 again. Would not recommend staying here solely based on the hidden resort fee not disclosed and add to that the lack of sleep after paying $160. No ty. There wasn’t even an offer to correct it.
