Horton Grand ReviewA cross between an elegant hotel and a charming inn, the Horton Grand combines two hotels that date from 1886: the Grand Horton (once an infamous red-light establishment) and the Brooklyn Hotel (which sat above a saddlery). Both were saved from demolition, moved to this spot, and connected by an airy atrium lobby filled with white wicker. The facade is original. Each unique room at this nonsmoking property contains vintage furnishings and gas fireplaces; bathrooms are lush with reproduction floor tiles and fine brass fixtures. Rooms overlook either the city or the fig tree-filled courtyard. The suites are in a newer wing; choosing one means sacrificing historical character for a sitting area/sofa bed and minibar with microwave. If you're lonely, request room no. 309, where the resident ghost, Roger, likes to hang out. The Palace Bar serves afternoon tea Saturdays from 2:30 to 5pm. Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip. Related Features Deals & News

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
