After the upgrade to room 7…we were comfortable and slept well. So thank you for making our stay a good experience.
Pros:

We got upgraded by your
Very efficient and courteous staff to room 7 no charge after our complaint about room 2 which was in the basement and seemed very creepy and musty. I have asthma and allergies and am very allergic to mold so the room just felt damp, dank and musty.

Cons:

Room 2. See above comments. We didn’t expect to be put in a basement room. If we had known that we would not have stayed there.

Great location, beautiful rooms, and pet friendly.
Pros:

I have stayed at the Horton Hotel several times and I always enjoy my stay here. The location is unbeatable and the deal I got on Booking.com was fantastic! The hotel staff is always very nice and the rooms are very comfortable. The beds, linens, bathrooms and housekeeping are all amazing!

Cons:

The rooftop is small and gets very crowded. The bartender was unable to keep up.

Disappointed
Pros:

Comfortable bed, clean room, nice rooftop bar, good breakfast, convenient location to access downtown.

Cons:

The loading zone in front of the hotel stayed full, so we had to park in the hotel lot a block and a half away and carry our luggage, mostly uphill, to check in. We were awakened at about 5:30 am. by loud crashing noises outside the room . 10 minutes later, the garbage truck showed up outside our window. We ran out of hot water during the second shower. The breakfast area was understaffed. Our experience did not live up to the rate we paid. Some of these problems could be overlooked in a cheap hotel.

assigned low quality room for 2 night stay.
Pros:

breakfast was great. Bar (off lobby and rooftop) was great. Our room was on the lower level next to the back door entrance where people enter after 10 or 11 when the main entry is locked. Very noisy through the night and should not be sold as a room.

Cons:

see above about room/location

Great location!!!!!!
Pros:

It's a great hotel. Beautiful, old, excellent staff.

Cons:

We were in a windowless basement room which while lovely, felt closed off. It was loud during the day from people walking in the lobby and it was nerve wracking when the fire alarm went off due to false alarm.
