We had a great 4th of July with our dog. It was very quiet and we lived that Julian Cidery was walking distant. Great restaurant on site as well, Jeremy's on the Hill.

Asked for ice and received it 4.5 hours later, floor boards move and pinch your feet, towels were thin, snagged and old. Zero artwork on walls and remote control didn’t control the volume of the TV. The shower took 15 minutes to get hot water when water is scarce. Just very low effort to make it nice.

I called the desk because the water wasn't warm enough to take a shower and was informed that if I give it 8-10 minutes it would get hot. Seemed odd but the water did in fact get plenty hot eventually! Room was clean and you don't talk to anyone to check in or out.

We loved our stay for the most part. It was quiet and friendly management. Beds were great!
Two things that would improve our stay would be a way to get hot water sooner and a small microwave would be nice for those leftovers.

This is where I always stay when I visit family in Julian. I love both restaurants across the street and next door, the Keurig coffee makers in the room are great, and it's so much easier to stay here than dealing with the crowds in Julian.
