Not even one bottle of water in the room. Had to ask at the front desk, and they put it on our bill. Also, everything is very, very old. Nothing has been updated or replaced in ages. Never saw cleaning staff. The room was not cleaned during our stay. But the worst is they turn the A/C off from about 1 or 2 am, until about 6am. You can push the buttons on the thermostat and nothing happens. We had three rooms, it was the same in all three.

poor service and cleanliness

sadly, the Hotel Julien has lost its luster. We got no housekeeping over a weekend. And the rooms and elevators were dirty. A large pile of trash and take-out food containers sat in the hallway on our floor all weekend.

This is a lovely old hotel ( opened in 1914 ? ) but of course Is completely updated. Located in the old downtown area it is surrounded by restaurants, shops and an excellent museum. Parking is quite convenient, either across the street or behind the hotel.

Beware what room you book! I booked a Deluxe Room and it was a dungeon with no windows. They would not let me switch rooms as they claimed I booked a Deluxe Interior Room but there was no mention of this in the listing. I am surprised it is legal to have a hotel room without windows for fire safety purposes.
