The Horton Grand, Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very cute hotel! It was in a great location and was within walking distance of so many restaurants which was very convenient. We came to see Pierce the Veil at Petco Park and this hotel was within walking distance of the stadium which was a huge plus. The staff was very friendly and helpful when we did have questions, and the room we stayed in was very clean and spacious. I would highly recommend this hotel!"
