Beautiful hotel with walking distance to Gas Lamp restaurants and Petco Park to attend the Padres game. No shampoo in the shampoo dispenser. Pillows were hard and uncomfortable. We had to pay $86 for Destination fee and taxes, and $59 for parking so be sure to add that into cost of stay. Nostalgic and very clean.

Thank you Caroline for taking the time to give us feedback about your recent stay with us . It sounds like the hotel had a lot of positive aspects, such as its beautiful ambiance, cleanliness, and convenient location near Gaslamp restaurants and Petco Park for the Padres game. However, it's unfortunate that there were some drawbacks like the lack of shampoo in the dispenser and uncomfortable pillows. And for the inconvenience, we waived the destination fee with you at checkout. Have an awesome day. See you next time.

Thank you Amy for taking the time to make a review on your recent stay with us. I'm sorry to hear that your room overlooked a noisy street, affecting your ability to rest well. It can be really frustrating when external noise disrupts your sleep and overall enjoyment of the stay. When booking your next visit, you might want to request a room away from busy streets to ensure a quieter environment. Many hotels are willing to accommodate such requests when possible. If you need any assistance or advice for your future stay, just let me know!

BL/UF: Great for the price and location, but don’t expect resort amenities. The building is a gorgeous classic hotel with a beautiful interior courtyard. The rooms are tastefully updated and decently spacious. Just don’t expect miracles from the shower. The “Salt and Whiskey” restaurant had good food, but the highlight was the beverages. For breakfast, though, I’d recommend a walk to 4th and J Street for Achilles. The neighborhood is a good distance away from the highways and walkable to East Village, Petco Park, and the convention center.

Thank you Michael,It sounds like you had a generally positive experience with the hotel, especially considering its price and location. The classic building and interior courtyard add to its charm, and the tastefully updated rooms provided decent space for your stay. While the shower may not have been exceptional, it's good to hear that the overall experience met your expectations.It's great that you enjoyed the food and beverages at the "Salt and Whiskey" restaurant, but thanks for the tip about Achilles for breakfast. Exploring the neighborhood and finding local gems like this can really enhance the overall experience of your stay.The fact that the hotel is within walking distance to East Village, Petco Park, and the convention center adds even more value to its location. Being away from the highways also likely contributed to a quieter atmosphere, which can be a plus for many travelers.Overall, it sounds like you found a good balance of value, convenience, and comfort during your stay.

Nothing special about this hotel other than its location. No room safe, our room was in a separate building which could be accessed from the street. Our door had obviously been broken into, or at least attempted, and had not been fixed well. Did not feel especially safe, unfortunately. The location can not be beat, though, especially for attending a ball game at Petco.

It sounds like the hotel's location was definitely a standout feature, particularly for attending events at Petco Park.

We were welcomed by friendly, polite staff who answered our questions. Check in was fast, as well as check out. We received complementary drinks which was nice. The hotel is beautiful and clean. Unfortunately I didn’t get to enjoy too much since we were there for an event. I would definitely book it again if I go back to San Diego. The only minor issue I encountered was the hot water, as it took a while for it to run warm. And unless you are paying valet parking you need to park elsewhere, down the street.

Sounds like you had a generally positive experience at the hotel! Friendly staff, quick check-in/out, complimentary drinks, and a beautiful, clean environment are all great things to encounter during a stay. It's a shame you didn't have much time to fully enjoy the amenities due to the event you were attending, but it's wonderful to hear you'd consider booking here again if you return to San Diego.The issue with the hot water and parking are minor inconveniences, but it's still valuable feedback for the hotel to address. It's helpful to know that the hot water took a while to run warm and that parking options were limited unless opting for valet service. Overall, it sounds like you had a positive impression of the hotel despite these small issues.

Cute, old-fashioned but modern approach to a hotel. Extremely comfortable, lovely greeting on arrival. Convenient parking lot in the next block. Downtown San Diego is always a bit of a trip with so many prostrate people in the streets at night, however, the Horton Grand is located outside most of this, but still easily accessed. Great for the Convention Center, port and Petco Park. Definitely recommended for a comfortable and safe stay.

I really enjoyed staying at this property. The rooms have great wood furniture and the open areas have vintage items as well. Very beautiful building. The middle open courtyard is beautiful and having the balcony to it in the room was wonderful. The area around the property isnt the best, but thats not their fault. Just the nature of the city. It's close to petco park, the water, nightlife, and so many great restaurants.

I loved this property. This was my first stay at the Horton Grand Hotel and it was awesome. The room was large and there was a bay window with original stained glass and there was even a working fireplace. We stayed on the top floor and it was very quiet. The valet parking was super easy to get in and out of, although I left my car in parking the entire time as we could walk to everything. I would absolutely stay there again!

The Horton is a grand old hotel. If you like charm and historical buildings you should visit. It is central to the Gas Lamp district with restaurants and pubs galore. Close to Petco ballpark for the Padres. Amazing to know that built in the 1880’s it was moved brick by brick to the current location. Our room had all the modern conveniences but with old world charm. I suggest getting a courtyard room with a balcony. It is beautiful with the fairy lit trees and the soothing fountain sounds.

Very cool old building needs some updating. Huge room, sparsely but comfortably functional. Only one waste basket, one overhead light switch in living space, no safe. Restaurant menu very limited. The staff is very friendly.
