Hotel Julian

Hotel Julian

10/10 Excellent
"The only issue is you need $200 extra for them to hold onto while you stay on their property. Other than that is was a really great place to stay and cheap. They said they started to implement a $20 amenities fee but I feel like they should add that to the full price of the stay. "
