The Grand Horton is full of character! The staff we interacted with were friendly. My only negative feedback is our room faced Island Ave so it was very loud till the wee hours due to vehicle noise and people walking around. It was very difficult to get sleep. If you stay here request a room facing the courtyard instead.

Too much extra fees

I had to pay a resort fee, destination fee, extra fees with my taxes and a $27 fee for my " free" water. So many extra fees. What gives? Also the price was not worth the room we go.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Horton Grand. The building is so unique with all the wood work and architectural flare from days gone by. The rooms are nicely done with more modern furnishings and the bed was very comfortable. There are definitely some things that needed repair or refurbishing. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. Being in the gas lamp district was nice as there were many restaurants so close by.

No sleeping in

The room was comfortable but we were not able to sleep in, one of the things we were looking forward to after a long day of travel and another one coming up, due to the sounds outside our window. They were setting up for the chinese new year street festival, power washing the street, dragging wagons of goods.... starting in the very early morning. Bummer. I wish the front desk would have asked us about what type of stay we were looking for. The front desk was kind enough to give us coupons for the trolley hopper, but were not sure how we were to get the discount. Unfortunately we weren't able to use the coupons because you are actually supposed to get on and then pay at the first stop. Oh well, so much for that.
