The Horton was very historic, and interesting in that respect. There happened to be a "march" going on when I was trying to arrive, which was simply inconvenient! I was esp. impressed with the lady at the desk who helped me get a cab. Thank you! Also the doorman -- he was very friendly and helpful. My pet peeve -- the price!

January 2025 stay

Our stay at The Horton was last minute but turned out to be very enjoyable. While the hotel is older, that is part of the charm, it was a very clean hotel with friendly staff. I would stay there again.

Could use a little updating. Bathroom fixtures were corroded so shower was hard to activate. Sink handles need to be replaced. Room was very quiet, bed was comfortable and room fridge was appreciated! Staff spent a lot of time on their phones and didn't look up when we entered the lobby.
