7.0/10

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the unique historical ambiance and comfortable beds made for a cozy stay. On the other hand, the noise levels were quite disruptive, especially from other rooms and events in the bar area. The location is fantastic with easy access to attractions, but the parking situation was a bit complicated and costly.

8.0/10

I had a lovely stay at the Horton Grand Hotel, which combines historic charm with fantastic convenience in the Gaslamp Quarter. The rooms I saw were comfortable and well-appointed, making for a pleasant experience. However, I did experience some noise at night due to nearby nightlife, and while the dining options were good, there's room for more variety. All in all, it's a delightful place to explore San Diego from.
