Seems very hit-or-miss.
My 1st room was street level and you could hear every person walking by on the sidewalk. Unacceptable and I quickly switched out.
My 2nd room was drafty, had a broken heater fan that woke me up in the middle of the night, and terrible pillows.
My 3rd room was fantastic.

Not for light sleepers
Overall the place was great. Good location, clean and beautiful. The only thing I did not like was that I could hear all the outside noise. Friday and Saturday nights were the worst with people partying outside. I was not able to sleep well those two nights. If you are a heavy sleeper, this place may be perfect.

Cute hotel, amazing service
The service at the Horton Grand is so consistently excellent that i want to clone their management, training, and hiring practices for every business.
The staff working there are kind, knowledgeable, and helpful in that way that makes you feel like their favorite guest ever.

Fun but scary
My stay is always great when we stay at the Horton . This time they double booked a room and strangers walked in my room in the middle of the night.
Me and my wife were scared and mad.

Great place near SD Convention Center
The Horton Grand is a very nice place to stay. It is about a 10-min walk to the Convention Center. There are many restaurants nearby. My room was large and comfortable, The hotel lobby space is very nice.

Weekend Getaway to the Gaslamp Dist.
My second stay with The Horton Grand. We were in town for a birthday and they helped me make it a memorable stay for the birthday girl. Accommodating for early checkin when called in advance. It is an older but still beautiful hotel rooms are a little dated but that goes along with the rest of the place which we liked. Enjoyed that we had a balcony to enjoy the lovely San Diego night air. Room did have a I’d say musty smell to it when we got in aired it out and was good to go for the evening.
