Staying here was like taking a step back in time. Julian is a quaint little town and this hotel sits right in the middle of it, making it a perfect place to stay. Most everything is within walking distance. Our room was fine, it was nice to have a patio to sit out on at night as the town shuts down around 8 or 9pm. Breakfast was lovely and the staff was extremely helpful.
