Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Room was clean upon check in, walking distance to food and drink. However, we tried to make coffee in the room and cockroaches started coming out of the coffee maker when it warmed up. Called the office and spoke to someone who just said the room had been cleaned. No attempt to make things right.
Cockroach we killed from the coffee maker.

Our suite in the back was terrific, clean, well equipped and quiet. Check in was all easily done on line. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great location, easy walking access to several great businesses in Julian. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Good location when visiting Julian. Smaller and older single story motel. Restaurants within walking distance (loud music on weekends). Room was clean. Parking right in front of room. Only negative was having a queen size bed that wasn't very comfortable. Room is large enough for a comfortable king size bed - this would have made a huge difference. Will stay again however, opt for 2 doubles instead of queen room.

Cute place, convenient location to Julian. The grounds need some clean up especially the old filled in pool area and would be nice if the office was staffed. WiFi also needs to be better. Otherwise rooms are updated and staff via phone is friendly. Rooms available on time and can walk to the bakery, Heroes restaurant and the Wynola Farm / Pumpkin Patch.

Only thing we didn’t like it’s too close to the highway. So if a loud motorcycle passes by, you will hear it. Other than that, it was perfect.

The property was fine for location, price and cleanliness. The check in is a bit awkward as the manager didn't respond to my text, so I had to call. Then when she gave me a code to unlock the door, it turned out she neglected to tell me you have to push another button even though I asked if you needed to do anything besides numbers like a # sign. Fortunately another guest showed me how to get in the room using the key pad. There was a symbol besides the four numbers. He said he's been at that room befoer and the door keypad was a little difficult.

Pretty good!

The check in was super easy. They text you the door code. Rooms were really cute and the oak tree / garden area in the back was adorable. I knocked off some points because the floors in our room were dirty and the shower water was rusty even after running the water for a long time.
