Hotel Julian

8/10 Good

"Finding parking initially was difficult but eventually I snagged a spot on the street 2 blocks away. Once checking in the receptionist did give me directions to their suggested parking garage that was around the block. I just came solo for a night. The room was modern with good lighting and a nice full length mirror. The bed was very comfortable and supportive. My only complaint is the walls are thin and at times it was quite loud. All in all it was a great option in a convenient location at a great price!"
