The hand towel in the bathroom had been used. The person at the inn was annoyed at us for needing help to get into the room, the code that was given to us did not work. The chairs and tables behind the inn were very dirty, with bird poop on the back of the chairs, everything was very dusty. We could not sit and relax as we wanted to do.

We booked a room for Thursday, May 22, 2025. When we arrived in Julian shortly after 1 PM, we called the hotel to see if we could check in a little early. We were told that if we wanted to check in early, we would be charged a $40 fee. we declined. We were offered, however, a little earlier of a check in, like 2:30, without being charged a fee. When we arrived, there was absolutely no one at the hotel. No other rooms were occupied, and there was no staff. The office was closed. It looked abandoned. We were given instructions to use a code to enter the room. When we got into the room we noticed the shower appeared dirty, along with dried soap drippings from a dispenser above the tub. The bathroom was generally in bad shape. We called the hotel contact number (because no staff was there) to request another room. We spoke to the same lady we had talked to earlier - apparently everything is handled remotely - and received a code for another room. The second one was in better shape. After settling in, we walked around and noticed the general disrepair of the place. Overgrown landscape and haphazard outdoor furniture and tired bbq. The pool had been filled in. The grounds were not what the pictures showed. After coming back from town and dinner, we noticed we were still the only ones there. The one other tenant was no longer there. After dark, we saw a car pull in and then leave. At this point, my wife was no longer comfortable staying the night and we found another place in town.

I called the desk because the water wasn't warm enough to take a shower and was informed that if I give it 8-10 minutes it would get hot. Seemed odd but the water did in fact get plenty hot eventually! Room was clean and you don't talk to anyone to check in or out.

The parking was easy and there were nearby restaurants and pubs. It was clean and well-maintained. It was easy to check in. The only downside is that location-wise, despite being close to Julian, it definitely isn’t walking distance and there’s no real public transit in Julian.

I would not stay here again. Room was pretty clean, but there were fleas in it. There were no towels and no hot water. The pool just outside the room doors is dug up, there are mounds of rubble piled around. Keurig coffee maker had water standing in it, rather nasty. There was only one other customer at the place. I texted the contact given for assistance during our stay, got no response.

We chose this as it was pet-friendly and available on the spur of the moment. Check-in fellow was very friendly, place was clean. We had an excellent meal at Jeremy's On The Hill right next door. Notes: - Ask at checkin for the WiFi code, we could not find it. - And how to operate the HVAC. It's one of those universal symbol remotes that is easy once you know it but not obvious.

Didn’t receive the room # and code via text as was stated in the initial text. Showed up at the front desk at 4 pm, it was open but no one there. Unable to check until 6pm after many many texts, phone calls and messaging through Hotels.com, After receiving a phone call telling me they were trying to reach me?!?! We returned to the hotel where the front desk person was kind and helpful. Room needed repairs (damaged bathroom door, needed paint), shower soap dispense fell onto my husband's foot after 1 minute in the shower and spilled slippery soap on the floor and in tub. TV had glowing spots on the screen. WiFi didn't connect.
