It was nice however, the front desk clerk wasn’t friendly or nice at all. The clerk in the morning was much better. Wasn’t happy about having to pay fees as soon as I got there. When I paid in Full before my stay. And 59 dollars for valet a day is disgusting . Would NOT recommend

We had an amazing stay at The Horton Grand, right in the heart of Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter. The location is perfect—walking distance to everything we needed, from great restaurants to shops and entertainment. Our suite was spacious and spotless, with a surprisingly large kitchen that made it feel like a home away from home. The room was well-appointed, comfortable, and quiet, which made it easy to relax after a day of exploring. What really stood out was the staff—everyone was so friendly, helpful, and accommodating. They made us feel genuinely welcome and went out of their way to make sure our stay was enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in San Diego. Highly recommend!
