reasons I'll choose The Horton Grand next time
I stayed in this hotel during a conference which took place at the Convention Center.
What I enjoyed the most:
- located (1) at the heart of Gas Lamp quarter but (2) in a quiet place (3) within short walking distance to the Convention Center and (4) harbor which is a great place for a run. In my view it would be difficult to beat this.
- very beautiful and atmospheric building and interior. All my friends (not only me) who came to visit where impressed.
- very clean room with all things I needed. Easy to control temperature. Very comfortable mattress. I asked for a quiet room and it was quiet.
- the staff is very polite and responsive. Conversation was nice and informative. They understood and appreciated all my or my friend's needs and problems and reacted adequately to help us. One example: I missed my delivery which had been delivered when I was already in London. The re-shipment was organized by the staff at the optimal lowest but reliable cost.
- plenty placed to eat nicely (just to mention fresh catch tuna). Just 5 min walk.
My general feeling: comfort, convenience, reliability and confidence. The latter two are not so often in my experience.
I'll not waste time to look for another hotel when I'm back to San Diego next time.
