My son and I stayed at the Julian Lodge for two nights this week to celebrate his birthday. It is perfectly located - about a half block off Main Street - which made it very easy to walk to all the shops, points of interest, and restaurants. The hotel has undergone a lot of upgrades since our last visit, and the new managers are so nice! Our room was very clean and newly redecorated, and the beds were extremely comfortable. The free wireless worked great, parking was plentiful, and the air conditioner in our room was quiet enough to keep on all night long. The complimentary breakfast was great, the breakfast room is charming, and the lady at the front desk was friendly, helpful and informative. The lending library in the lobby was the icing on the cake. Definitely my kind of place! We loved our stay at the Julian Lodge!

We stayed two nights for a wedding we were attending in Julian. The check in went very smooth and the staff was very nice. Upon arriving in our room, you got the feel that you were back in the old west. The room was very clean and he bed was very comfortable. Being that it is summer and it is hot up there, the air conditioner was amazing! The breakfast in the morning was a nice touch. If we are ever up in Julian for an overnight stay, we will stay at the Julian Lodge again.

My husband and I decided to do a last minute trip to Julian so I went on the computer and did a crash course on the area. First thing I looked for was the local watering hole. I found it "Bailey's BBQ and Tavern" Well we left midday and we found the perfect parking spot under a big shade tree. We walked to Bailey's which only took 5 minutes if that and went into the tavern and sat up at the bar. We ordered a late lunch and a cold drink and began to soak up the local culture, and what a friendly culture it is! We started talking to everyone as if they were our friends and found out that a band from Oceanside was playing that night and the clincher was that Greg Douglas a guitarist from Steve Miller Band was going to be there. I was sold and so was the hubby, we then asked around for the hotel that the locals recommend. The Julian Lodge was on everyones lips and the bartender said if we mentioned Bailey's we would receive a 10% discount on our room. Well I called the lodge from the bar and spoke to the nicest woman she had one room left we took it. I asked her if she needed a credit card to hold it and she said no! That is amazing. We showed up at the lodge an hour later I walked in while the clerk was telling a woman that they had no rooms available I was nervous thinking she might have given my room away, to my suprise it was waiting for us! Anyway to make this long story a little short the room was clean and comfortable it is small but charming. They served a continental breakfast that was nice. Yes we did get the 10% off. Make sure you stop off at the honey shop. We will be going back!

We stayed two nights while visiting family/friends and found the lodge to be a perfect place to stay when in the Julian area. The staff is friendly and helpful and the location is perfect. It’s close to the main street but far enough off that traffic noise minimal. The lodge has covered decks up front with several benches which made it pleasant to sit and relax during the afternoon without overheating. The room we had was very clean and comfortable which made our visit even more memorable.
