The WiFi was pretty good too. To add on the room was very homey and cute. I would for sure stay again!"

"We had an event to attend at the ICC. We were able to book a room at Horizon and it made attending the event so much easier. The valet parking was a definite must for us. Comfortably spacious room and bathroom. We will definitely be back"
