Paid for city view, had view of service alley. Sound carries, you can hear everything. I know it's an old building but maybe enforce quiet hours if you know your building isn't going to give people a good night's sleep

Such a beautiful hotel. So much history, if you stay here, make sure you read about their history on the website. We chose this place for a last minute one night, romantic getaway. It did not disappoint. We were able to walk to Seaport Village and to the Gaslamp district. Everything was so close.
Antique furniture touches throughout the entire hotel, from the original hotels.

The stay was okay, roomed seemed smaller than the photos. It was very loud outside even into the late hours. Every flush of the toilet was a very loud noise! Wish we had a better experience.

Lovely, but an annoying charge

The Horton Grand is a unique and gorgeous hotel, and we have stayed here before. We were disappointed that they no longer have breakfast available or do High Tea, which they were famous for, but neither was a huge issue. Everything about our family's 4-day stay in four rooms was lovely. However, we were definitely annoyed that on top of all the other numerous changes, we were charged an additional $27.83/day for Wifi. Seriously??? This the 21st century and free Wifi is the standard. Plus, this is definitely not an inexpensive hotel. They tried to make it not seem so ridiculous by giving us a bottle of water and two drink vouchers (only once, not very day). This pettiness clouded an otherwise perfect stay for my daughter's wedding (not at the hotel).
