Seems very hit-or-miss. My 1st room was street level and you could hear every person walking by on the sidewalk. Unacceptable and I quickly switched out. My 2nd room was drafty, had a broken heater fan that woke me up in the middle of the night, and terrible pillows. My 3rd room was fantastic.

Fireplace issues. There was an open flame ( pilot light) with no glass in front of it. I easily saw a child or adult mistakenly lay a towel or other flammable object next to it. Other fireplace issue: we couldn’t use it the end of the bed was two feet from the fireplace. You would have to sit on the end of the bed and hang your feet over the edge of the bed just to see it

Not for light sleepers
Overall the place was great. Good location, clean and beautiful. The only thing I did not like was that I could hear all the outside noise. Friday and Saturday nights were the worst with people partying outside. I was not able to sleep well those two nights. If you are a heavy sleeper, this place may be perfect.

Cute hotel, amazing service
The service at the Horton Grand is so consistently excellent that i want to clone their management, training, and hiring practices for every business. The staff working there are kind, knowledgeable, and helpful in that way that makes you feel like their favorite guest ever.

This has been the worst experience I’ve had with Horton grand hotel. Check in was the only easy part. However once in the room, bathroom had a really bad odor. The bathroom smelled like mold. It was definitely not cleaned in what seems like a really long time. The bathtub had grime and dirt all along the lining of the tub which I didn’t discover until the following morning. The experience only went down hill from that. Towards the early morning around 5-6, we were woken up by the sound of a waterfall. It had been raining heavy that night. Huge amounts of water started coming down from the ceiling fan, quickly spread all over the beds and carpet. I called the front desk and was told someone would come by to check it out. Waited and waited, no one ever came by. I decided to go to the front desk myself at the 3 hour mark. The receptionist said she had sent someone and was puzzled that no one showed up. Surprise surprise, when I asked if she had followed up with said person, of course not. I asked to speak to a manager and reception said they weren’t available, probably having a meeting about the water leak. I almost fainted when she said that LOL. You would think the customer would come first. You would think they would offer to move us to another room. Of course not. No one thought about the person who called about the leak. The poor excuse I got was no more rooms. I’m only happy I didn’t have to pay for anything of it. Will most likely never stay at the Horton again.
