January 2025 stay
Our stay at The Horton was last minute but turned out to be very enjoyable. While the hotel is older, that is part of the charm, it was a very clean hotel with friendly staff. I would stay there again.

Beautiful hotel with great history
Incredible hotel and beautiful bar but the standard room is tiny and it’s always freezing cold inside the hotel. Great location and you can walk to everything. $60 per night for car storage was a little much.

Good helpful welcome from reception staff. Bar staff also friendly and professional. Very well located hotel in the Gaslamp Quarter.

2/10 Poor

Beautiful but loud
The hotel is a landmark, old and beautiful but the experience was not good as we were kept awake with a party going until 3AM in the bedroom one the side and in front of us.

Love this place!
Jared, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great historic hotel
Charming Victorian boutique hotel. The room was spacious and comfortable with a cute balcony overlooking the courtyard. We loved the bar/restaurant in the lobby. The street noise seemed to be amplified by the courtyard, though, making things a bit noisy overnight. The pillows were aggressively overstuffed and springy.
Nancy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was wonderful. All of the staff was friendly and helpful. The room was gorgeous.
Brannon, 1-night trip

Would stay again!
Stayed here for NYE and NYD. Hotel was nice and clean with old town vibes and charm. The staff and front desk were super nice and accomodating. Location was PERFECT! The only two negatives were that there were a couple times the shower water was lukewarm, plumbing was iffy, and the pillows were too large and hard. But the price for the holiday week were excellent so the front desk didnt get any complaints from me! Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would stay again!
