Hotel Julian

Hotel Julian

10/10 Excellent
"Starting with the pros: appreciated how clean both the room and the bathroom were. It was a really hot week then, so it was awesome that the room was quiet, had AC and I had a pretty great sleep. There was a sizable walk-in closet as well. There were a few cons as well. First of all, there was only one elevator and it wasn't the fastest, so there was a time where I had to return the luggage cart from the 2nd floor and had to wait almost half an hour because the elevator was consistently full. Second, my bathroom door couldn't fully close because the bathtub was a bit"
