The Horton Hotel and Rooftop Lounge

We spent the afternoon and early evening on Thanksgiving Day in the bar waiting for the line at Dan'l Boone Inn to die down. Kendal was the only employee working and she was absolutely fantastic. She simultaneously managed the front desk and also the bar and was so pleasant. Even though we didn't stay there on this trip, we will definitely stay at the Horton on our next trip through Boone.

Beautiful, comfortable, the staff are kind, efficient and ready to help in any way possible. You can walk to shop or visit a restaurant. A simply incredible hotel and weekend experience. Last but not least, the price was right and what was offered was incredible! This is our new hotel for a weekend getaway.

Incredible stay! Comfortable and convenient. The rooftop is the best part with amazing views, firepit and a bar! The staff was amazing and so helpful! Will for sure go again!

My husband and I booked a lower-level room knowing it wouldn’t have windows, but we were not prepared for how dark, uncomfortable and dirty it was. The room felt more like an unpleasant basement than a hotel space. The lighting was harsh, with no table lamps, the grout on the floor was chipping and there was a black fur rug that was honestly disgusting. There was even a large salt lamp sitting on a tray with a dirty towel underneath it, which did not create a relaxing atmosphere-it made us question the point of the lamp. We also found mold around the seal of the room temperature water pitcher. To make matters worse, the room was beside a maintenance closet, and staff were loudly going in and out around 10:30 PM each night. I dreaded going back to our room each evening. The breakfast was surprisingly good and the girl working it was doing an amazing job running everything by herself (while the front desk attendant was too busy on his phone to help her). The rooftop bar was also nice. But overall, the room experience really overshadowed everything else. I wouldn’t recommend staying in one of the lower-level rooms at all. We would not stay here again unless in an above-ground room. Even having a different room option I may look elsewhere for lodging. So disappointing when my husband and I had a quick getaway together.

This was our first visit to Boone and friends who live there told us the Horton Hotel is a great place to stay based on its central location on King Street. They are absolutely correct. We walked to dinner, we walked to amazing ice cream sandwiches, we walked to coffee the next day, and we walked some of AP State’s lovely campus! The bar inside the Horton is inviting and we felt very welcome by Molly and Bree. In the morning, Kat took fantastic care of us for our very tasty and much appreciated breakfast. All of the staff truly cares that we chose the Horton to stay in. We left behind a bag of treasures from the darling store almost across the street and Adam assured my husband that housekeeping found our bag and that they will be mailing those items to us. Great customer service. The rooftop area is lovely and even though it was cloudy and windy as can be on our first afternoon there, we made a point of going up to the rooftop and taking in the stunning views.

Don't stay in room 2 if you want to get any sleep. The bar is right over your head. Got woken up out of a sound sleep by what sounded like furniture being dragged across the floor and walking back and forth. Continued for an hour, until almost 11. Lousy nights sleep for my long drive the next day.

Very nice hotel. Close to local downtown shopping and restaurants.

I paid Expedia for a ground floor room, there is no ground floor rooms here there is a lobby and a bar. The room they put you in because you booked through Expedia is a basement that smells musty and has no windows.

We LOVE this hotel and will come back every year

Very comfortable room and shower. Best thing was how friendly and helpful everyone was. And the location can't be beat.
