This hotel is historic, established in 1897. No tv or telephone which made it a welcome escape from big city life. This bed and breakfast was extremely cozy and quiet, the best sleep I've had in a long time. The staff was very friendly and very accommodating. A delicious, healthy breakfast of fruit, yogurt, granola,toast eggs and juice was top-notch! Thanks to the entire staff for our wonderful stay!

Staying here was like taking a step back in time. Julian is a quaint little town and this hotel sits right in the middle of it, making it a perfect place to stay. Most everything is within walking distance. Our room was fine, it was nice to have a patio to sit out on at night as the town shuts down around 8 or 9pm. Breakfast was lovely and the staff was extremely helpful.
