I stayed 2 nights at the Horton for a business trip. The hotel was only 3 blocks from the convention center and about $70 cheaper per night than the Marriott at the convention center. I'm very glad I made the choice. The Victorian theme is quaint and pleasant...not cheesy or overdone. I stayed on the 4th floor and from what... More

I stayed at Horton Grand for six nights and it was a delightful experience. The room was big enough to accomodate all my bags and all the stuff I bought at amazon and the surroundings stores. My room's decoration was much fancier than I thought previously when I saw pictures of the accommodations. The mattress? Also great! As I've been... More

I loved this hotel because of the old fashioned and fancy feel. Friendly staff and good restaurant attached at which I had two excellent breakfasts (I wasn't there for any other meals). The furnishings seem to be genuine antiques. It is a three block walk to the Convention Center, and right near lots of things to do in the "gaslight"... More

After spending 4 nights at the Horton Grand during busy conference days I found the unique character of this hotel and the incredibly friendly staff refreshing and soothing. I loved the old style main/key boxes at the front desk where I could store my key when I went for a run. I always felt well rested, and the rooms were... More

A very enjoyable stay at the Horton Grand. Nice room, clean, nice decor. Liked the 'antique' vintage look of the rooms and hotel. Pleasant staff. Great location. Walk to the Seaport, many restaurants, trolly, etc. The only problem was not with the location but because rooms are located on lower floors and close to the street I was awakened each... More

Our Foundation had the pleasure of hosting an Appreciation Tea for our Advisory Board at the Horton Grand. I can honestly say that the hospitality of the staff was the best ever, anywhere. The exceptional experience began when booking the event, and continued to include every person that we encountered - including the Valet. Special thanks to Justin for arranging... More

This is a beautiful property. Our room was comfortable and the gas fireplace in the room was cozy on a chilly evening. We enjoyed the many photos detailing the history of the hotel and the area. We walked to restaurants in the Gaslamp Quarter and and enjoyed a very good breakfast at the restaurant in the hotel. The zoo was... More

My husband and I stayed five nights at the Horton for our 40th wedding anniversary! What an extraordinary hotel at any price! The historic Victorian theme is carried out throughout the hotel without being too "frou-frou". Men, you will enjoy this place as much as your lady will. Room 420 has a king-size bed, a gas fireplace and a balcony... More

We stayed at this hotel mid March. The hotel is very historic with a beautiful grand staircase and rooms that have all of the modern conveniences but Victorian charm. It's located just blocks from the convention center and harbor and right in the middle of tons of shopping and restaurants. The staff was friendly and helpful!

A beautiful hotel with historic flavor. The atmosphere was very relaxing and the staff very nice and helpful. The location is fantastic. The hotel is charming and quite, despite being in a central location. I really enjoyed staying there. Thank you! Avi
