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.

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!

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.
