The Horton was very historic, and interesting in that respect. There happened to be a "march" going on when I was trying to arrive, which was simply inconvenient! I was esp. impressed with the lady at the desk who helped me get a cab. Thank you! Also the doorman -- he was very friendly and helpful. My pet peeve -- the price!

Our stay at The Horton was last minute but turned out to be very enjoyable. While the hotel is older, that is part of the charm, it was a very clean hotel with friendly staff. I would stay there again.

Could use a little updating. Bathroom fixtures were corroded so shower was hard to activate. Sink handles need to be replaced. Room was very quiet, bed was comfortable and room fridge was appreciated! Staff spent a lot of time on their phones and didn't look up when we entered the lobby.

Effectively has no wireless; stay away

Do you enjoy rooms filled with old furniture and creaky faucets that look "historic?" Do you like getting your steps in, as the place only has one elevator on one end of the building? How about a hotel bar that enforces a strict and early bedtime? Or do you enjoy minimizing your screen time due to 8Mbps internet that makes it nearly impossible to do anything online? Then this is the place for you! Seriously, the "resort fee" is a joke. They claim it's for internet, bottles of water in the room, and two drink tickets per day. The internet? 8Mbps, worse than what you'd get 15 years ago (the front desk clerk admitted they used their own antenna and couldn't comment on it). The drink tickets? It's two per stay, not per day, but good luck using them as the bar closes at 10pm (tough luck if you check in at 9:45pm!). The bottles of water? Two mini bottles handed on check in...with $5 bottles in the room. Did I mention the terrible internet? The manager tried to gaslight me and claimed they'd just done an upgrade, but multiple speed tests in multiple browsers on multiple devices reported the same 8Mbps. It's telling they won't acknowledge the issue, just claiming it's the guest's fault.
