Jeff (hotel staff onsite) was friendly and professional — from when my husband arrived to when we departed. We really enjoyed our stay at the Julian Lodge, especially the proximity to Main St. where all of the shops and restaurants are located — everything is walkable! Next time we are in town, the Julian Lodge is where we will stay and recommend to all of our friends and family!

We had a great time. The room was exactly what we had helped for. It’s not fancy but it’s very clean and comfortable. We were right downtown so it was easy to get to everywhere we wanted to go.
