Great place to stay except for the tiny rooms
Great place. Clean, safe and very nice to walk into. Friendly staff. Probably the nicest place to stay in downtown Julian. One con: The rooms are tiny. You are either on the bed or in the bathroom (our bath was large). Barely any room to walk in the room and the bed was so high my wife had trouble getting onto it. I would stay there again if I ever went back to Julian.

Classic Bed and Breakfast with local Charm.
It's a lovely, classic bed and breakfast experience. Very old school - could use a little more updating, but I appreciate the charm.

Historic Anniversary Getaway
We had a relaxing and comfortable 2-night stay at The Historic Julian Hotel. It was perfectly located in the heart of Julian where we could walk a block to church, Italian food, gift shops and other eateries. Next door for excellent Mexican food. Wish we had more time for more exploring but had to get back home. Definitely, will be back.

We went in knowing the rooms here are small. We had room 11, which had a larger bathroom, lots of windows and great views of the courtyard and Main street.

the property had a great sense of history and is well maintained. As a historic building note that the rooms are smallish and there are no TVs in the rooms.
