The area Horton Grand is in, Gaslamp, is great. But the room didn't meet my expectations. Owing to its age, it was super noisy. I could hear my neighbors coughing, laughing and talking at normal volume. They sounded like they were in my room with me. Same with footsteps on the floor above--woke me up all night. My room was dark, dingy and charmless. The fireplace was broken. My bathroom looked old--and not in a charming, historic way. The shower curtain was yellowed, paint was chipping on the wall, and fixtures were rusty. Value for the money was great; it was very affordable to stay here, but it was nothing special and the photos on Expedia didn't at all reflect the actual experience of staying in the room.
