    My recent stay at your hotel was truly exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in a captivating atmosphere; the building's rich history, charming architecture, and elegant style combined to create an incredibly beautiful and welcoming ambiance. The feeling of stepping back in time, yet enjoying modern comforts, was delightful. The staff were consistently pleasant and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. Their professionalism and genuine warmth significantly enhanced my experience. The dining experience was equally impressive; the food was not only excellent but beautifully presented, showcasing a clear commitment to quality ingredients and culinary expertise. My room was impeccably clean and well-appointed. Beyond the spotless condition, the comfort of the bed and the luxurious linens were particularly noteworthy. Sleeping soundly on such high-quality bedding was a welcome treat after a long journey.

    Great ambience. Wish we could’ve used more of it, but it was a quick stay.

    Nothing, but one more thing we liked was being able to open the big old windows and enjoy the outside.

    An amazing historic hotel right downtown. Great staff and the rooms are just right. Surround by a variety of bars restaurants it is so central to anything you want to do. Caroline’s on the lower level has a great menu breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also have free parking out back.

    This is my third stay at The Julian and I have never been disappointed. The rooms are very nice, beds are so comfortable, and the bathroom is very big in the suite. This is the first time I have eaten at the restaurant located in the hotel and it was delicious, and prices were good. This hotel location is close to many eating, drinking and entertainment places. The lobby is beautiful and there are many areas to sit and chat or to work on your computer if needed. The staff is also very nice. I will stay here again when in the area. Oh, and I love the noon check out!!
