The bathroom faucet leaks and constantly drips. The air conditioner should have been on prior to us arriving. Two of the lamps in the room were unplugged. Lighting in general was poor. There was a plastic spoon left on the floor that was broken into several pieces. WiFi only works if you're in or near the hotel office.

For the most part, the front desk staff was friendly and helpful. A separate router was provided to boost the internet connection. Thank you for that! The lighting in the room did not lend itself to comfortable reading. Overall, the two night stay worked well for us. The location is only a block from Main Street and all of the great shops that make up Julian.

So much space, we loved the sitting area so we could chat late at night! We had a great time, some first-timers and they loved Julian. I come almost annually and this lodge is always amazing! The ice machine is great - allowing me to bring goodies home, thanks again!!!

Smack in downtown Julian, Main St. is just around the corner and everything is pretty accessible by walking. We stayed in a quaint room that was clean with two windows and a fan unit. Antique-looking wooden furniture and a cozy bed. Coffee in the office in the morning, and of course breakfast within walking distance. Parking was $10. The desk attendant was very kind, the area was very quiet. Reasonable price too for two college kids.

always a great stay! this is my go-to hotel when i stay in julian (which is a few times per year). the beds are a little on the firm side, but i prefer that so works for me! centrally located and walking distance to everything! great friendly service, and very cute and spacious clean rooms. can't wait to stay again! do beware that they charge $10 lot parking, except it's totally not needed as there's plenty of street parking.

It’s exactly what it claims to be! It was clean - there were fruit flies in the bathroom, but everything we could see was clean, and the room smelled strongly of cleaner. It was quiet, and check in and out was easy. The beds were comfortable. We couldn’t figure out the tv, but didn’t end up needing it. Overall, it’s no frills, and fine!

It was older and cute. Management was super nice. The only negative was that the air conditioning was super loud and I had to turn it off to sleep. Otherwise, I would stay there again. Nice location just around the corner of main street.

I booked this lodge through expedia,for my wife and my 10 year wedding anniversary, and I was not disappointed the building was obviously old but the rooms were redecorated and were in great shape, Our room was extremely large and very comfortable, the staff was very accommodating, they even called as we were on our way down to advise us the room may not be ready due to a staffing issue and to take our time. We would definitely book a room there in the future.

Excellent customer service, room makes you feel like you are back in time, and kept clean. My complaint is the lack of comfort for the beds. I have stayed in the double and queen size mattress rooms and both are terrible for your back; regardless if you have pre-existing issues. Also, queen rooms do not have a fridge but the double bed rooms do.

Conveniently located right at Julian, walkable to shops+restaurants downtown. The uphill street area right behind the hotel is a good place to see stars in the sky at night. Close drive to Anza Borrego State Park and Lake Cuyamaca. Heater worked well. Front desk staff were so nice and helpful

The staff are so unbelievably friendly and nice and make it a point to greet you like a welcomed friend. The location is ideal and walkable to many of the great spots in downtown like Julian Cafe and Romano’s. The staff really make the Lodge such a cutesy Hallmarkesque vibe. Highly recommend!

The hotel is in a great location for walking the downtown streets. It is a historic hotel so there is a nice nostalgic feel but the carpet is older so if you have allergies it may not be a good choice. There is no restaurant or free breakfast available but restaurants within walking distance. Bed is comfy. Water gets hot
