Hotel Julian was a great experience for my family (two teens and a service dog). The staff was attentive, welcoming, and very accommodating to my son’s and service dog’s needs. The hotel is conveniently located near downtown and surrounded by many great food options and a few bars. The hotel appears to have been recently renovated. The beds were comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and modern. While there is no on-site parking, there are two nearby private paid parking lots within walking distance. Overall, it’s a great hotel for a short stay, and I would definitely stay here again. Note: the hotel elevator was not working during our stay.

The staff was awesome. They were so sweet and the room was fantastic. The elevator was broken during our stay, which we knew after we booked it but still sucked lol also, the parking situation is just not my favorite not having a on-site parking lot so that’s why I gave it four stars not five
