We were so happy with our stay at hotel Julian. The location is great and for the price point it would be hard to find something nicer. The restaurant/bar on the first floor was great, and the bar tender was one of the most helpful people we talked to with fantastic suggestions and advice for our short stay. Do yourself a favor and stay here
