The hotel is beautiful but our room was a lot smaller than expected. The lighting wasn’t too great and the tv glitched quite a bit. Bed was comfy, water was hot, and it was clean so can’t complain too much! I just wish we had a bigger space.

The rooms were so loud an elevators so old they felt like they were going to die at any moment and above floors you could hear people walking all night long floors, lacked hot water, were not clean, food service and food not very good, the best part of this hotel was the valet guys who were super nice .

The Grand Horton is full of character! The staff we interacted with were friendly. My only negative feedback is our room faced Island Ave so it was very loud till the wee hours due to vehicle noise and people walking around. It was very difficult to get sleep. If you stay here request a room facing the courtyard instead.

This property is absolutely fine. It’s just a little run down. I had a street facing room that was a little noisy.

Too much extra fees

I had to pay a resort fee, destination fee, extra fees with my taxes and a $27 fee for my " free" water. So many extra fees. What gives? Also the price was not worth the room we go.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Horton Grand. The building is so unique with all the wood work and architectural flare from days gone by. The rooms are nicely done with more modern furnishings and the bed was very comfortable. There are definitely some things that needed repair or refurbishing. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. Being in the gas lamp district was nice as there were many restaurants so close by.

This hotel shares San Diego History with its guests. It has his a quaint side as well as offering a exceptional comfort, and its bar was so much fun! The staff was beyond attentive and kind and we very much appreciated their kindness and extended effort to accommodate us making our stay a wonderful, wonderful time. You cannot be the location with easy access to the best of the city!
